married question. Can skin hunger look like plain lust from the outside? I ask every time. I stop when she says stop. I’ve tried working late, running until my legs shake, sleeping on the far side of the bed, only touching her hand when I pass her a glass. Doesn’t work. It isn’t everyone. It’s her. If she thinks I’m disgusting, I can stop. If she asks why, I’ll answer. Please don’t tell me to leave her. Anything she wants, I’ll give her. Including the person writing this.
