Well the separate beds part has been going on for years and it has been my choice since I just don't sleep well with her. It doesn't mean we don't have sex although that has fallen off of late. As for frank discussions they tend to get very tense very quickly so it's sort of a don't ask don't tell policy. Yes I know it's nuts and maybe it will work out in time. Don't get me wrong, we still get along good alot. There's just one teensy tiny area that it's not all that wise to tread, hence my admitted stupidity. *sigh*
