I agree that plenty of wives give their h's that "gift". I cannot think of ANY who don't ever do that. Literally.
When my dad died, I lost my libido. We didn't stop ML. I wanted the intimacy even if I didn't get "my cookies". It wasn't all about that. I felt comforted. H wasn't neglected.
Similarly when h's mom had cancer and she died, I was there for h whether or not I was "in the mood". It wasn't about ME.
It's called LOVE. Love is a verb that requires action. It's not merely a feeling.
