I know what you are saying TulipAngel. That does tend to be the case many times. You don't really know what you are real passionate and feel strongly about until you are not getting something. When that one thing or more things are missing in your relationship or marriage-that is when you know that it is not just a like; it is a kink, true passion that you feel strongly about.
Yeah that might have been what happened to Iris, she didn't realize how greatly she loved and had been so intensely passionate about tickling-until it was missing. That makes sense. That is understandable. I am sorry TulipAngel that sadly your husband does not share the intense love and passion for tickling that you do. That is indeed a very sad and tragic thing to hear. 
I feel for you. Just know I am here for you and here for Iris too if ever you both ever need to talk or want someone to listen, love to be your friends. 
I understand what you are saying TulipAngel with you saying you did know he did not share love for tickling; but u did not realize how deep and how passionate your love for tickling had been at that time for you until after you and him were married. Really sorry to hear this. So what you said makes total sense to me what you are saying.
Yes, sadly like I said before this tends to be the case and happens too many times in many relationships and marriages-whether it be not sharing love and passion for tickling, or not receiving much affection and love, or not sharing similiar passions and desires and fantasies, or emot or sexual incompatibility or having trouble emotionally communicating clearly or distancing emotionally and ect. The list goes on and on.
So I know exactly what you are saying TulipAngel.
Just know I think you and Iris are great women, very strong and wonderful women. Both are real inspirations. 

 Defintely going to keep a close eye for both of your great wonderful threads and posts, love reading what you both got to say. Have a great day. Hugs to you both
