Possible reasons for your H pushing HDW away.
I had a back injury in 81 and again in 86. Prior to surgery, the only place that I could get comfortable was on the floor.. With me sleeping on the floor by the bed, W took it as me rejection her. I was horney at times and tried to ML but paid a price afterwors by hurting for 4 or 5 days. During ML I felt perty good. When those sex hormones kick in, nothing else matters.

The point of my post is, for me ML had a price, back hurt so bad for a couple of days I had a difficult time getting to the bathroom. Later when I got horney, I experienced the back pain in my mind Before MLing and my erection would not last. Then ML became a frustrating event for both of us.
20 years later, Condensed version> now W is LD/ND. Keeps handing me the Anne Landers articles about how W's just want to be only held-no MLing.

My reply to her ( W likes Hershey bars ) next time you need a chocolate fix, take the wrapper completely off the Hershey bar and hold it for an hour. You can not lick your fingers no matter how much the chocolate melts. Every 2 minuets put the bar 2 inches from your nose and take 3 deep breaths through your nose. Do this for a month. At the end of the month tell me how you feel about Hershey bars. How frustrated might you be at the end of the month? Would it have been easier to just eat the bar rather than just holding it?

I find myself going to bed between 1 and 4 AM because of the frustrations in my R.

To anyone posting. Thanks for your posts I feel somuch better knowing I am not alone. W tells me a man of 60 should not be interested in MLing. "That is for making babies"
