making sure he knows exactly what it will mean if you feel less and less like his wife. IOW, what will he experience as a result of that?




As I start feeling less like his wife due to his lack of desire the following willprobably occur.(Some of these have already at least partially occurred)

1)I will stop initiating sex with him.

2)I will become less emotionally available to him.

3) I will do things like cooking for him only out of a sense of duty or responsibility , not with love or a desire for his pleasure.

4)If his rejection or lack of interest continues long enough, I will feel myself to be "unmated" and will undoubtedly send out that "vibe" to interested men.

hand him the responsibility for initiating, and let him know in no uncertain terms that you expect him to initiate 'x' times per week.




I've pretty much done this already. He knows that if we don't have sex twice a week, I will be quite unhappy. I am just wondering if I should be more clear about just how unhappy I will be and just how "unmated" I will feel.
