Hi Burgbud - we just recently talked about taking turns intiating sex (my idea) because I have bearing that burden for far too long. He was afraid too because he didn't like feeling rejected. Apparently, it was okay if I felt rejected!

I like the idea of scheduling intimacy too though. I will bring that up. Thanks!

A true "schedule" is tough for us because we have so many outside stressors - and I'm not trying to make excuses. Most people, when they hear what I'm going through, wonder how I'm still standing. Anyway, I'll try the idea of taking turns with intimacy. I hope he goes for it. I would love to shower together without expectation of more.
