BBJ..I want to apologize for not getting here sooner. I know you came over and asked earlier..I do not know what his problem is. I would love for a woman to to those things for me and offer a back rub. Do you think he's just so stressed out with work, farm, blood pressure worries, MIL/FIL that he just constantly retreats to his cave? He has serious communication problems with you. It's apparent that he has an easier time talking to other people and a tougher time when talking to you. I wish I could offer advice or make something better but I can't really figure out what his problem is. I know when I was dog tired I never offered any type intimacy to my STBX..I just wanted to be left alone to veg..I'm sorry this is happening..please continue to post and I'll try to follow and offer up what I can.
