This is what I think you should try. Send your wife an email.
To: Mrs. Hairdog Fr: Mr. Hairdog Subject: RE, convo from last night
Here's a memory of weirdness from last night:
I went to bed around 10pm. You came in about midnight. This is what I recall from a brief conversation.
You: "How's your girlfriend?" Me: I don't have a girlfriend. You: You must be going bonkers, then. Me: Why do you say that? You: Because I read an article today about men, and that, on average, they think about sex 60 times a day. Me: Uh, that's about right, I guess.
Understand that I was deep into sleep when you came in, and, although the subject was very interesting to me, I wasn't ready to engage in the conversation in my sleep saturated state.
Now, I'd really like to continue the conversation with you. Yes, I am going bonkers, but it's not because I'm thinking about sex...I am feeling emotionally isolated from you because I love you, and you keep pushing me away. I don't want a girlfriend, or an affair, because it's against my moral "code." But I also won't live my life out in a celibate marriage, because, why would I want to live with someone who doesn't appear to desire me, and who doesn't even try to meet me half way in creating physical intimacy?

I'd scrape, paste and send. It'll at least get the ball rolling...
