medium.com/hello-love/here-is-the-moment-when-you-lose-your-lover-b6c6e6bb0083Although this article does not touch on the importance of sex/intimacy in a marriage,you can easily see that sex/intimacy ranks way up there in a marriage. It is a deal breaker when your partner plays down, crushes and denies the reality of sex/intimacy being part of your identity. If your partner decided that their identity is one without sex and intimacy..... you have to own and respect that choice.

Thanks! I love sharing them. It helps me to continue my learning and development to read stories like these that encourage me to not revert back to me previous mistakes. In fact, I'm home alone right now. Why? Because my woman went shopping. Mostly grocery shopping, however she has told me " I like to look around.... by myself". It turns out that, I am a mission shopper (lol) I know what I want. I know where it is. I am on a mission to go in and get out ASAP. I bring her shopping with me..... Not the way, she likes to do it! We are...different! Her trip, gives her alone time as well. I had a nasty argument at work the other day. I will feel much better 'documenting all of it". Something to spend my time on, alone today, while she is gone. We spent hours of quality time together already today, and there will be more as the day continues. I am anxious to hear about her "shopping adventure". |

I am anxious to hear about her "shopping adventure". I’m sorry you had a bad argument at work. That doesn’t make for a pleasant work environment. I hope you can resolve it without any additional stress. You are not alone in being a mission shopper. I’ve known a lot of people like that! I am like your woman- while I don’t enjoy grocery shopping, I do like to browse around. I don’t have to buy anything but I’m always curious about the new and popular things out there. I don’t mind shopping with one or two like-minded people but can equally enjoy it alone. It is important for you and your woman to have separate interests and your alone time. I’m very glad you are finding happiness in your new life. It’s an encouragement for those of us following behind you. |

I am a window shopper and at times, I love to hunt for a...and read labels. My husband is like you.
The most important lesson that I learned was just to support my husband in whatever he does and hopefully we do like other activities apart from each other. He likes to walk my dog for hours and sometimes, I will join them and then head back, but at least I learned to support every activity that he loves. I don't have to like it exactly the way he does it, I just have to support him even if its quarterly.

My dad once told me, "If the economy depended on men, it would collapse." (stereotype acknowledged, ladies. My sister hates shopping too.) |
