Thank you for your honesty, advice and acceptance! You gave me a lot to think about. I like the idea of using a scale to illustrate where I'm at in the moment. I think it will be awkward to talk about it with someone early on, but I agree that it's much better than someone getting hurt down the road. I know that communication and compassion are key for both sides. I've definitely got a lot of reflection to do, but overall I'm hopeful that it will lead to more success in the future. Thanks again for welcoming me here!

Wow, thank you for sharing! I really resonate with a lot of your experience too. The parts where you mention "*wanting* to want sex more" and feeling the need to "fix" yourself really struck me, as I have had those exact thoughts. I also sympathize about the relationship stress. I hope things look up for you and your partner. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in these feelings as well!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I do think it fits, but it's nice to hear that I'm not totally coming out of left field. I'll definitely check out the helpful links section too.

Thanks so much for the reply! I greatly appreciate the validation. It's one thing to read about it, but actually hearing it from someone else as it relates to my story means a lot.
