Glad you are getting out and golfing, with or without H. I say you practice up, and who knows, maybe you'll get really good and kick his butt during a match one day. How awesome would that be????
It does hurt when they act like they can't stand for us to touch them. Months ago when I still attempted to give my H hugs or kisses, he was soooo cold. He would stiffen up for hugs, not returning them. If I went to kiss him, he would turn his cheek. Mean.
Now, I am working on little ways to be affectionate. An arm pat here, a little rub on the back there. He has been very receptive to this, even initiating the same type of affection at times. I try not to think about the fact that my H hasn't kissed me in six months
Sounds like your H's work sitch is tough, but he also has to figure that out for himself. We all have stress (hello... Especially the LBS!), and have to learn how to deal with it. All these things he is trying will not change his job. Guess he has to figure that one out himself.
Hang in there, as always, and hope you have a good weekend
