It occurs to me while re-reading SSM, that my H wasn't real good at expressing interest in me just for me or providing good emotional support even when we had a good sex life. When some bad things started happening in our lives and I really needed him to be interested and supportive, this became a real problem for me. I guess it became more obvious to me. That's when our sex life started declining. I'm no longer sure that my continuing to have sex because he needs it is going to lead to the closeness I crave. He didn't have the skills for expressing interest and support *before* we stopped having sex. I don't think this kind of sex is going to teach him those skills. What do I do?!
