Looking for understanding and sensitive listener in relation to intimacy addiction
General Support / by Mtude

...See more Hello. I appreciate the taboo nature of the subject. I have tried seeking listeners via browsing but such prefer not to talk about the issue or eventually give up and don't respond. Please read the context before you reject though ! - CONTEXT - I'm male, long term married and wife registered disabled (mobility issues knees, hips, back, etc). We are not intimate - she says she simply has not interest or desire, not just me but in general. I have tried to suppress my desire for intimacy with her (note I only want her) and coped using a variety of methods but have not cheated or been physical with anyone else. She has said that it is ok for me to have an open relationship, I am hugely conflicted over this, despite my desperate need for intimacy and desperately want to discuss with a sympathetic listener. Please trust that I will never deliberately be inappropriate with you, I just want a kind listener who truly appreciates and understands my situation. I would have preferred not to list this in a forum but am at the point where I really need to discuss in private. I have a wonderful member support network and one in particular who has been helping me through but it is in open chat and therefore am extremely anxious when we discuss. Thankyou sincerely for reading and considering. 🙂
