Bradford, I can almost hear your frustration and pain about your marriage and the separation. I want to offer you relief – to look at your situation and to help you access what you have done and see what else can be done to save the marriage, if it can be saved. If you will go to the following link – http://www.getrelationshipsright.com/claritysession – and set up a 1/2 hour Get Clarity session with me, we can do all that. At the end of the session you will know whether you have done everything or if there’s something else for you to do.

Currently seperated, I fel I’ve done EVERYTHING in my power to change our situation, but it hasn’t changed. Maybe this will work.

In general men don’t value women who are keen to have sex straight away, maybe in the back of their minds they wonder how many times this has been so easy with other men? He needs encouragement so he knows you like him and want to be with him, flirt, maybe more whilst you get to know each other better. Think about longer term, will you have enough in common? Do you have similar values, do you share an interest, do you like each others friends and they you, would you go to a concert to see a band he likes, do you like some of the same foods, do you like his humour? I was chatting with three male friends the other day who were comparing notes on a woman they’d all slept with! I said I didn’t think they should be having this discussion with me there, one of them said she was out on her bike and it was appropriate and of course they all laughed! I moved the conversation away but felt very sorry as she’s a nice person but doesn’t seem to value herself.

Jerome,
I don’t know what Ebook you are reading, but from my point of view and most women I know, the “equal” relationship in love and sexuality doesn’t work. It get’s stale. There needs to be Polarity. The man needs to be the man and the woman needs to be the woman. The best books I’ve read on this are “Intimate Communion”, by David Deida and “Enchanted Love”, by Marianne Williamson. It’s noy about dumping all of the baggage on the man. It’s about owning the fact that we are diferent and do come to relationships in either a more masculine or feminine way and it isn’t always the man with the more masculine energy or the woman with the more femnine energy. When you come into a relationship trying to be completely equal, at least for me and many others, the fire can get lost and you become platonic. I love the fire and polarity in a relationship.

It’s kinda hard to agree with your sentiments, because in order to do so, one would have to assume that all fault lies with the man, and that women are turned into commodities similar to the diamond. Sex, sexual relationships, intimacy – there is no “hero’s journey” into attaining the most complete relationship between man and woman. I’m reading this ebook that says that becoming emotionally mature in a relationship requires a mutual relationship, where the man and the woman give and take in order to keep the relationship stable and love-filled. What you’re suggesting is dumping all of the emotional baggage on the man, and that’s just not fair.
