Quote: That's a good point. I think there can be a fine line with mercy-sex. My W begrudgingly got undressed after I initiated but I didn't read her approach as "mercy"...but "crap...whatever". I felt that her heart was in the right place because she has clearly "heard" me and understands what it means to me. I had faith that it would be better in the long run to accept it and I was right.
Just curious. What is your reading of your wife's state of mind after these kinds of encounters? Does she seem closer to you? Does she seem glad to be done (kiss, kiss, "g'nite, honey", roll over, snore)? Does she seem, on the balance, glad she did it? Like she got something out of it for herself aside from just making you happy?
