Tell him, "sometimes, I just want to cuddle without sex. I want you to respect that."
I think I've explained that to him before, but perhaps it wasn't accepted as well because of his anger/frustration? I know he has felt denied by me for a long time, so at this point he's not going to pass up a chance that we might ML by not giving it the old 'college try'! Then, I just totally freeze up! I feel like he's pushing me again! Ugh!
The poor guy is probably just so excited right now by you initiating that he's thinking "WHHOOHHOOOO . . . She's BACK!" and is trying to make up for lost time. Just that alone should tell you that he's been hurting and longing for this for a while regardless of what he's been telling you.
I'm sure he's doing cartwheels around the classroom(he's a teacher)!!! Only thing, I'm still the same inside. I still don't feel that overwhelming desire I think he might be hoping I feel... I'm going to let him down totally when he realizes it, and is he going to think it's just a 'ploy'???
