Rejection isn’t on the way being told no when you initiate.
EDIT: I can not edit the title of my post but it should have read: " Rejection isn’t only being told no when I initiate". Rejection isn’t only being told no when I initiate. It’s also living with the fact 24/7 that my dead bedroom spouse can’t find 60 minutes out of a week, a month or year for us to be intimate. Really hit home last week when I was off from work for nine days straight. Every day she left the house three or four hours to do something that was not that important. So, even though I wasn’t trying to initiate, watching her walk out the door every day was just as bad as outright rejection.
