That last description made me feel like crying. Maybe that is where I have gone wrong with H. Any sign of interest on his part has caused me to grasp too hard, try to hard, push to the next level. During sex when things are "just not working out" I have been able to up the eroticism so that that strictly speaking things "worked" but maybe that has been at the cost of H's confidence....
What about you Cemar - this is your thread. Do you think you have held on too tight to the little bits of interest your W has shown? Have you pushed her instead of laughed and moved on when something wasn't working?
