I have been married for 25 years, raised 2 children...and now have an empty nest..(that's a good thing!) The problem is, for all this time my husband and I have been in "responsibility mode", and are having trouble making the transition back to just two. I've read a lot of great exercises on this site..and will attempt them.. But here's the rub... I've not shared an honest feeling with another human in soo long! I'm very private...my husband and I are total strangers when it comes to SHARING FEELINGS...and both of us will find all this sharing extremely uncomfortable... We've made attempts a few times at sharing in the past when we began to feel like roommates.. (and actually we do make good friends)...and our sex, though good, was all physical..with little emotional connection...but I'm now feeling very lonely..and I need attention... I want more of a connection...I just don't think my husband's that into me...and I think he's afraid of intimacy..and I'm afraid,too...what can we do?
