Physical affection is more than just sex, so I was not making that assumption. Plus, what constitutes an appropriate amount of sex for one will be either too much or not enough for another.

No. My comment was more inclusive of things like companionship and non sexual physical acts of affection. It did not exclude sex, but it wasn’t about just sex. I made it based on your article’s tone of a lacking marriage due to your husbands emotional distance and indifference to your need for affection.

You’ve said that you have learned to deal with it but the tone of your article is one of stuff upper lipping through a life of lack for the sake of your son.

You don’t have to. There are other choices besides divorce. So I was just offering an option for consideration you may not have thought of. But it is your choice to make.

Again, my best and I wish you well. You’ve chosen what for most would be the harder road. I hope it works out for you.
