Hello Pinhead,
Just following your story. Your wife ML with you and you're pretty sure she enjoys it and wants to. That's surely a good thing? I'm surprised at what she says about kissing, though. You've certainly come a long way from things as they were at the start. I hope you two can piece things together. She sounds to me like one very confused person. the DB book says not to set too much score by what's said by the "unloving" spouse, personally I'm clinging to that and watching the actions. If she felt no attraction at all for you and given that she's been wont to tell you in clear terms what she's feeling (at the minute), would she have been a willing partner? Mind you, I have no judgement on that score, my H ML to me (he initiated as much as I, even more) about 3 or 4 t/week, right up till the day before he told me it was over and he couldn't "bear" me any more.

Bravo on being a new man where PMS is concerned. Your W is lucky she can tell you about such things and that you try to be understanding. My H just used to ask me if I was having my "period or something" whenever I disagreed with him or was tired or worried, fairly nastily at that.

I'd be with those who tell you to surprise her in some way, shake her out of her torpor.
