I would just say something like “ it is clear by your actions that you want space so I am giving it you”.
Refresh my memory. Are you having sex?
No sex since October.
When we went to MC last fall, it was problematic that I was pressuring her for sex. We were active about once a month, I was hoping for once a week, W thought I wanted every day. My pressuring was mostly trying to get her to be honest with me about what she wanted, because I was confused by the dissonance between her words and actions.
So we agreed W would be the one to initiate sex. October was the last time.
I should also say...
No ILY (from her) since Feb No kissing since I can remember Just a daily hug most mornings
Affection got super-weird between us. Really frustrated that MC1 could not help us work through it a little bit, but maybe it's a sign of how broken our communication in general is.
