you know jenn, i wasn't aware of what rsd was, i too had to look it up and boy was i really taken by surprise with what you are dealing with. jenn, you talking with your hubby was a brave, bold move yet it was exactly what i would have suggested you do. communication is key, in all aspects of life. any conflicts, even intimacy, can be managed if both parties are willing to open up and a) admit there's a problem or atleast something that need to be discussed, and b) be willing to laugh at yourself, admit you've been feeling the same way too. our partners are our lifeline, although i am saying this to you jenn, i am talking to myself. we must allow them in, let them know what we are feeling, how bad it is today, and last but not least, let 'em know we need them so much. we gotta open up, because if we don't, whose to blame when things cool off to the point of being cold? Hang in there, and keep those lines of communication, OPEN!
