I don't know what to do. My husband and I have been through a very low patch and we are, belatedly, trying to fix things. Trouble is we haven't had sex for about 2 and a half years and while he would be happy to leap straight back in i don't feel able to do that. He sees me pushing him back as a rejection but when I try to explain that I just don't feel ready he doesn't seem to understand and says it is a vicious circle. I don't know where to go from here. I miss the affection and intimacy but could live without sex - he doesn't feel he can. I have suggested just cuddling and being more affectionate as a start but he says he feels like he is being strung along. I feel so lonely and dont have any close friends to chat to about it. Can anyone give me any advice or just a friendly listening ear.... Thank you
