Just a thought because you often say how sleepy and what a couch potatoe your h. is.
My family doctor (before the divorce) did blood tests on my h. because this was happening to him - and it was a noticeable change. He was 46 at the time.
The doc was looking for low testoterone, men go through something distantly similar to menopause in women, called andropause (you can google it for into) or ask your family doctor.
My doc told us that he had many of his male patients, post 42 - 45 or so and up, on testerone patches. Work like a charm, he is off the couch and into your arms again. They get their energy back.
In my h. case it was clinical depression, but that was just him. Worth some investigation perhaps.
P.S. Could the shove be a way to initiate touching, sex perhaps, (a wild guess here - sorry if waaaaay off base). Lots of guys will be playful this way, I must say I love to wrestle around on the floor with my lover..... he may not know how else to get to you, try pinning him against the wall next time, with a big kiss ? Ok - tell me I am all wrong.....
