Quote: I am tired of being hurt when you dismiss my feelings about this issue using terms that frame me as dysfunctional.
While I wouldn’t call my thinking "obsessive", I will admit that I am rather "focused" on improving intimacy within our marriage. By "intimacy", I mean both physically (touching, kissing, hugging, making love), and emotionally (words of affirmation, emotional support, sense of common purpose, shared values and parenting styles, and the ability to voice our thoughts and opinions without fear of retribution or undue criticism).
Don't forget about these words... make sure she heard them and addresses them.
