stu,

I'd prefer if he wasn't passive when he wanted sex. Yes, I've brought it up, we've been to counseling. He admits that he gets passive when he wants to be active but is afraid of rejection. I think that I have inadvertently (sp?) rejected him when the kids were little and I was too exhausted to have sex. I think it's that we've just gotten into a pattern that we both don't like (him passively wanting sex, me not knowing he wants it, him MB'ing, me discouraged that he doesn't seem interested unless I initiate) pathetic, eh? LOL!
