I don't want to try, yet again, as you suggested NOP, and place my ONE need in front of his face. I don't care if I have sex, and I don't care if I don't. I don't want to read another frickin' manual.

I am glad I didn't give up on my wife. I came close, but I am very glad I didn't and that she didn't give up on me.

This morning, she sent me an email. Contained therein was a short list of things that she has been wanting from me. she has made it pretty plain previously, but (huge sigh) I missed them. So, she had to send me a concrete reminder. I am trying really hard, and I recognize the items, but I still let them slip... There was no malice, they just didn't make it to my list.

To be perfectly honest, in some ways, they make me feel stupid because the simple list is so far beyond by normal personality, that they become difficult. Much like a LD spouse and sex.

My lovely wife is working on the hard parts for her. I will work on the hard parts for me. This is why relationship work is hard work, but absolutely necessary.

From what you have written, your husband loves you. He is probably a smart guy, but he is like anyone else in a relationship, and that is partially blind to the other spouses needs.

I hope that he can come to a point of wanting to directly address issues in your marriage. Until then, YOU will have to push.

If you get to the point where you can't push anymore, then reserve at least a bit of yourself before you give up, enough to tell him WHY you are giving up. He deserves at least that much.

Here is a big hug from me;

And a slap on the a$$, now get your butt back in there!
