But what did your wife do? Just start having sex with you again so you wouldn't leave? How does that work?
When she realized I was serious about leaving if things didn't change, she agreed to a minimum of scheduled sex (weekly), with the possibility of unscheduled of course.
Scheduled sex sounds so unromantic, but it helps a lot because it means I am able to handle the times she rejects my advances with much more grace, meaning less pressure on her, which just improves things all round.
I am not necessarily encouraging you to make such an ultimatum, unless you are actually ready to leave. It could backfire.
