I am just judging by my nasty cold reactions that I should shut the heck up when she looks so incredibly beautiful to me.

Rookie mistake on my part so now I am saying nothing and learning to wipe that stupid grin off my face when I see her. Women!


Yeah, this is the sort of stuff I don't get.


My wife needs me to touch her, to kiss her goodnight, hold her hand, hug her. But I can't tell what the balance is now.

It used to be romantic (and is still what ALL her friends see when I do anything like that in public, they get vocally jealous), but now it's perceived as clingy?

I can be patient with my wife. I can stop being honest about how I feel, telling her she's pretty, buying her jewelry and flowers. I can't stop cooking for her or she won't eat, so how do I approach that? I can't sleep in another room because she hates that, so what do I do there?

And how long do I wait? My wife is not having an affair. She's just gone distant when I brought up how hurt I was and tried to communicate that we're in a sexless marriage after being married for 7 months and the sex was great and once or even twice a week before marriage.


How do I find the balance between looking like I'm ignoring her (which essentially I am, I just can't have her think that?) and otherwise just living my life without needing her in it?
