What is Intimacy Anorexia and How to Handle it in Marriage | Dr. Lenne' Hunt

You have described what I'm living in and desperately want to get out this place. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for affirming that the desire for intimacy is healthy and not an unreasonable expectation.

And if one person is emotionally withdrawn because safety has been violated (whether emotionally, physically, or both) in the marriage, you MUST restore safety before pursuing intimacy. There can be no real intimacy without safety and trust.

You just described my life. Thank you for validating my situation, because I often think this is crazy.

I ordered your book. I developed CRPS from a simple fall. My husband is emotionally cruel to me.

Oh my goodness! You described me! I always felt so lonely even at the beginning of my marriage. Used and alone. Sometimes I felt like I was playing a role of his mother.

Do you offer information on emotional neglect? Probably some overlap with intimacy anorexia.

Oh this is such a painful and lonely life!

This is happening to me, its torment x

thank you!

After 13 years of marriage, I feel so angry that I wasted my life with a person incapable of providing love. Even after 4 years of divorce, I am still angry. The way he made me feel unloved, unwanted, not enoug, and undeserving.

My wife participates, but she just goes through the motions.
