I posted to your earlier post. Hope I didn't upset you in with any of my comments.
Supposedly women need emotional closeness to have sex and men need sex to have emotional closeness. I don't know if that gender difference has actually been put to an empirical test. It seems to be true for my husband and me. For me sex comes more easily if the emotional closeness is there first. I accept that my husband needs the physical first. We're just different. I am feeling a little shortchanged since I'm working on getting his needs met, but I still don't have the emotional closeness I need. I try to remember my spiritual beliefs that encourage me to seek first to understand than to be understood when I start to feel a little sorry for myself. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. Everyone wants to be understood. It' human nature. I do have some concerns about becoming a "Walkaway Wife." I don't really see myself getting a divorce, but I do understand the giving up part of the walkaway wife.
