I missed the chance to feel intimate with the person who was trying to...

info_outlineMy guest Diane's husband was so withdrawn that for two years, there was no physical intimacy. None. Zip. Nada. He'd moved to the basement and stayed there, leaving her feeling rejected, invisible, and wondering if this was just how things would be forever.
