Re: tired of pretending moksha: This is a great group. We all see through the fronts that we have and accept each other AS-IS. Too bad people don't treat each other this way out from behind the keyboard.
We are all more powerful and strong than we know. Great responses!
I'm so thankful for this board. We are human and that is Great!

Re: tired of pretending rjack0612: This topic has really hit home. What I wouldn't give for a little physical contact (I don't just mean sex) someone to say hey, it's going to be alright or for me to do the same. Somebody to share the good moments too even though they are few and far between these days.

Well, here I go writing another post before I introduce myself, but I felt compelled to write...
I think that intimacy (i.e. closeness) is the #1 thing I have been missing. Of course, there is a part of me (the horny part, as my mom says) that would like that kind of intimacy, but by and large it is the cuddling the talking the sharing... the stuff that made us a couple. It's really being exacerbated right now by the fact that my stbxw is still living in the apartment with me for financial reasons. We are moving (separately, of course) on 1 June, but in the meantime she has been going out on regular dates and has been kissing and telling in a demeaning way (Of course, her s*utty ways -- she went from having 1 partner (me) on 1 January 06 to at least 5 as of today -- are doing a good job of demeaning herself -- but I wrote to share about me not her). In some ways, I agree with my friends and family that things will be easier once we are living apart. On the other hand, I think it will also be harder because then I will be fully... and completely... alone.
Ugh. Glad to be here with people roughly my own age going through similar issues. I will be posting my tale of woe later on.
