Thanks for reading and commenting! I appreciate your suggestion.

I guess I’d liken it to someone with hearing problems - there are two kinds. One can be solved with hearing aids. The other is simply a matter of not wanting to listen to the person talking.

Matt fell into the second category. There wasn’t a physical problem, but a heart issue. He bore a lot of guilt for past addiction. Once we were able to talk about it, I assured him that ignoring me in the present hurt worse than knowing about his past.

Since then, we’ve enjoyed intimacy for the past four years. Different heart issues still come up for both of us, but we’ve promised to bring them to each other rather than try to fix them on our own.

Hope you and your family are doing well!
