Spouses of Intimacy Anorexics (Alone in Marriage) | Married to An Intimacy Anorexic | Dr. Doug Weiss
Intimacy Anorexia is a real issue that many couples are dealing with. It is the act of withholding spiritual, emotional, and sexual intimacy from your spouse.
The characteristics of an intimacy anorexic include being too busy, blaming their spouse frequently, withholding love, withholding praise, withholding sex, and them feeling more like a roommate than a loved one to the spouse.
If you are experiencing this, you are the spouse of an Intimacy Anorexic and are dealing with real pain and trauma from the lack of love and intimacy. The trauma of being married to an IA is the same as those who experience infidelity and sex addiction. Being subjected to negative memories and thoughts, feeling isolated and depressed, and lack of sex is quite degrading.

However, you are not alone in your struggle. For over 30 years, Dr. Doug Weiss has been helping thousands of men and women heal and break free from the effects of intimacy anorexia. We have many different resources to help including books, DVDs, support groups, and counselors that can help you.
