My wife said she experienced a fatherly relationship with me, a spiritual and physical predicament.




My wife said that she experienced a fatherly relationship with me. We got entangled with each other after I filed for divorce because we had two children and probably faced the fear of an unknown life. Later, during the reconciliation process, she clearly began to refuse sex with me, and then she started saying that the sex with me had always been a compromise. How do we break out of this spiritual and physical dilemma? At the same time, it seems that we cannot separate from each other, and it is a very complicated entanglement.

I can see this is really tough on both of you. It sounds like there's a lot of hurt and confusion. Maybe seeking therapy could help you both express your feelings more openly and work through this together.
It seems like the core issue here might be about emotional connection and intimacy, not just physical. Have you tried talking about what each of you needs to feel closer and understood?
Perhaps it's time to focus on rebuilding trust and understanding. Sometimes couples need to rediscover why they fell in love in the first place. What do you think about revisiting those early days?
Your wife's feelings may stem from unresolved issues that have been building up over time. It could be beneficial to explore these deeper concerns with a professional counselor who can provide unbiased guidance.
It's clear that communication has broken down between you two. Rebuilding that bridge of dialogue is crucial. Have you considered setting aside regular times to talk without distractions, where both of you can share honestly?
