Quote: This is what I meant by a method that is too "warm" and makes me feel like a Stepford Wife. I am not an incredible loving being. I feel like a big faker if I try to be one. I am pretty much an ordinary loving being with a low tolerance for "mush". Hallmark stores give me hives.
That's really interesting, I think. That you would equate a sentence, 'incredible loving being that you are,' to mush. Yet you chose to interpret it that way. Huh.
Quote: I am frustrated because though I am happy that my H is now behaving in a more loving manner, that isn't really what I was after.
So you are frustrated at him because you did not communicate clearly? Maybe your husband is not the one who is having a problem establishing or communicating EC. Are you hesitant to tell your H that the roses are great, but you don't want them, you just want sex?
