Quote: There are so many times that he initiates sex that I really don't want to have sex. But because I know it is important to him, I make the mental and physical effort to not only have sex, but to enjoy it with him. But I certainly do not, after sex say, "well honey, in this instance you had all the say about us having sex because I didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway, for you, because I love you."
I don't say that because it seems very cruel and disrespectful to say something like that to someone you love.
Excellent work biting your tongue on this one. While my W has never said this, I have perceived her telling me this with her body language after ML. And it HURTS. It sends to me the message that "I take pity on you" and it takes away about 99% of the enjoyment of what just happened. What I miss as much as the act of ML is the desire for me that my W used to have.
