Maybe. Contrary to popular opinion, that's pretty much how it was in my marriage ... everything else *was* fine but I wasn't getting my sexual/touch needs met, for reasons that had everything to do with my husband's upbringing and personality and nothing to do with the relationship between the two of us .... when that finally became an issue of contention, it started to bleed into other areas.

That's fine as long as you don't begin to think, "Well, it's just sex, why am I complaining so much and risking the wreckage of an otherwise sound ship?" If it's a big deal to *you*, Storm, it's a big deal. Don't let anyone -- not even you -- convince you otherwise.
