LG,

I understand your questions, but one of the things I said that I forgot to mention is that I don't want ml as a box to check, I want to feel wanted and loved and her actions make me not feel that way. I also used one of your lines (thanks for it) that I thought she wanted to be a great wife in every way and wanted to have a great marriage, just like I want to and so I owed it to her to tell her how I saw us being able to do that. the last thing I want is "duty sex" and there has been too much of that both offered and accepted in the past. I am not going to accept that any more.

She really does have her period (let's just say I am 100% sure).

As far as talking in general...my w is more the traditional male and I am more the tradidtional female in that I like to talk and express feelings and she is perfectly happy not. For example, when we have an argument at night I want to "talk through it" until I feel like I have gotten everything into the open. If I don't, I go to bed frustrated and the next day wake up even more frustrated. She, on the other hand, can go to bed and wakes up the next day as if nothing happened. I am the sentimental romantic and she is not, the list goes on and on...

I am going to focus on the intimacy stuff and see if she really was listening the other night. I think this is especially important when there is no chance of ml (neither of us is into period sex, btw).
