I know you do. That's why I think you should embrace the bunny and not disdain it. That's no better than some of the men on here trying to kill their puppies. All animals in moderation is probably a smarter way to go.

That isn't what I meant. I don't see this as a vulnerable situation.
For example, (and this is just the way I'm describing it to make a point, I'm not saying my assessment is correct), I saw you messing with Soldier Guy as a hissy/pout, and it darn near landed you in some very hot water. I think (?) you'd be dealing with a whole different H right now if you had done anything physical with Soldier Guy and then told your H about it.
As it was... you told him how close you were to going out and doing just that (major 2x4 to his head), but hissy/pout was gone. You were just flat out honest and serious. He believed you.
I keep thinking back to Honeypot, and her hissy/pouts not only didn't get her anywhere with her H, it actually made things worse. When she lost her sex drive and gave up, and he finally took her seriously... things changed.
I don't think a hissy/pout will work for Karen. I think she needs to fck him silly, and make sure he understands that she really needs this from him... and when he lets the rope drop again... she can calmly say to him...
Karen: "H, I need $250."
Mr. Karen: "Why?"
Karen: (Pulling out Alternative Magazine)... "I want to order the male escort on pg. 25 to fck me silly. I figure if I tell you about him, and you give me the money for him, then you'll know that this isn't about our marriage vows or my love for you. You will truly understand how much I need a man to fck me silly so I can feel like a woman. You don't want the job... the least you can do is help me hire a replacement."
I know... WAY out there... but... coming at him in any other way than a WOMAN isn't likely going to inspire a MAN reaction from him.
So again... Karen could hissy/pouty her way through a lovely romp of sex with her H, but I don't think it will get her very far without the sex to buffer it.
I think Karen has a very strong nurturing side that makes her hissy/pouty come off as angry mother. That's why I think you have to do the hissy/pouty thing in small doses, used wisely, depending on your own sitch.
