I have stopped by this site after an absence of several weeks, and noticed your post. I think that it deserves more responses than it has received.
I would like to answer your question with an unequivocal YES. I think that, in general, you will get different responses from the women here, but toss that up to the differences between men and women than any *right* or *wrong* aspect to your inquiry.
I have decided that, since my spouse is unwilling, or unable, to at least meet me halfway on this subject, I have to go. No hard feelings (pun not intended), I just have to make my own way now. The issue cannot be underestimated in a marriage, even if the other aspects of the marriage are fine. You have to honestly answer for yourself: are things really otherwise decent?
