It's interesting how he reacted to your text vs spoken stuff. he wants to have positive feelings from you. but not enough to ask you on a date like he said he would. Didnt he "agree" to do stuff with you once a week?
also.. you said that he wanted "more passion" (or as I put it, "fun and excitement"). SO.. What are you going to do about that?
I've written two posts now, and erased them. there's a lot of stuff I'd like to say, but...
i guess I'll just say that I think your husband is slipping away, and you are letting him. You've been way too passive. "receptive", instead of "aggressive". in lots of areas, not just sex. (ie: you should have already invited him to go riding, as something fun for you to do together. and if he didnt want to go, then go with some other friends of yours.)
It may already be too late for you to seriously change his mind. If it's not, I'm guessing you have one, maybe two days, to do something drastic and get his attention. Otherwise, i think he's going to plan you out of his life, for the next 1-6 months.
presuming he isnt already seeing someone, o course.
It's nice that he's still "noticing" what you are doing. it doesnt make sense that he would "move" his mail, but not take it.
