OK, that is quite different from my situation. If my wife had said that, I would have jumped on it and listened to what she had to say very carefully.

Interesting contrast. We have a good relationship, but no sex. So the sex part is the only thing that's missing. So, I can sort of see how that puts me in the position of being an ass -- the only thing that's missing is sex, and so because that's the only thing "extra" I want, that makes me an ass in my wife's eyes, especially if I say I want to go out and get a girlfriend for just that part. What a logical conundrum. Catch 22.
