Having sex won't convince him, all by itself, that you love him. But consistently refusing to have sex for an extended period of time with no medical cause will go a long way to convince someone that you don't love him. Obviously, there are other things that need to happen, and things that need to generally not happen, to establish a feeling of being emotionally connected.

(by the way, if communication was only a FEMALE need, why are there so many males on this board, including the one that claimed that the very thing he was doing on this board was only a need of females?) [/quote]

Thank you..i needed to hear that. This board has been helpful..but when you ahve a low day with the spouse and you read some of the negative posts...well it just makes you feel worse and angry. Good point about all the males communicating on this board. I guess they are addressing their feminine side.

As for me..just a bad day or week really. I am going to start the 5LL this week since my H is out of town...then when he gets back I can suggest he read it so we can take the quiz. It will be a non threatening thing since I will have already read it and the purpose will be to quiz each other and see how we do.
