So, this is the second time I have been here. I was here a few years ago with a similar problem. This is now the second time my husband is threatening to leave me. The last time he claimed it was due to being "unhappy". There were a lot of factors that went into it and we went to counseling and be actually ended up leaving for 2 months. In the end he came home, we reconciled and our marriage became really strong. So strong that we decided to have our third baby. Life has been good until last week...

He came to me and told me he is just struggling with our lack of intimacy. He isn't happy with the amount of sex we have, and feels I am just not loving enough. His love language is definitely "touch and affection". And mine is not. I love him more than words can say but showing affection just doesn't come naturally to me. So I did what most woman in desperation would do and begged and pleaded. Which made him angry. So I stopped. Called my marriage counselor from the past and asked for guidance. He told me to ask myself if this is a lifestyle change I would be willing to make and I said yes, of course. So that's what I have been doing. Making love and affection apart of my life. He seems to be taking it in, he thanks me for kisses and hugs me back when i come in for it but he is not initiating ANYTHING. Which is not like him. It scares me that he is already gone. I can't decipher if its that or if he is just keeping himself in a protected place in case I don't follow through.

Everything seemed to be going ok. It's only been a week and he still talks about the future and makes plans and stuff but this morning told me he is still so angry and is taking it out on the kids and hates that. He doesn't want to be angry anymore.

I just don know what to do or say to help. And I'm scared I'm losing him minute by minute and he is just gonna pack up and leave.

If anybody can offer and advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
