    Deeply sorry for her

    Not because she's not having sex--I went three years celibate once, not by choice, but it was a good time in my life--but because she has massive, massive father and control issues. I hope some day she finds real peace, because the "peace" she has now is external.

    And I wonder about the man she's now pinning her hopes on. While I don't doubt that a man can choose chastity, I suppose I've heard too many stories of relationships that start out that way and finish with the woman discovering that her relationship was sexless because her partner was gay--and she was just a beard.

    Good luck to you, Dawn. You need it.
