Well, generally when he would come right out and say things along the lines of "life is too short" or "I can tell you're not attracted to me anymore" or "I want you to be into it" or "Do you know the last time we had sex? Two weeks ago!" I would make excuses that I felt perfectly justified in making, or I would cringe inside and fume even more furiously feeling extremely unappreciated and misunderstood, sometimes I would stand up and bite back, and sometimes I tried to be as rational as I could and see that what he was telling me was out of sincere disappointment and try to see things from his point of view. It all depended on the surrounding factors.
My husband is ANYTHING but a typical "nice guy." As a matter of fact, he seems nice enough on the surface but does not like me to be too dependent on him or ask him for too much, I'm certainly not a spoiled princess and I definitely am not allowed to wear the pants. Early in our relationship, his phase of "taking me back" created in him a hate for groveling and he sometimes will say in anger, "I'm not going to kiss your azz!"
