Quote: I agree completely with NOPkins - your wife is obviously freaked out. This is what I was trying to tell you earlier.
Me too. That's what I was getting at when I talked about the heel-digging contest. This is not the time to be putting distance between you, physical or emotional.
Quote: I think your wife wants you to take care of her, but is not able to bring herself to trust you to do so. What will it take for her to respect and trust you?
Again - me too. That's my point about accepting what she has revealed to you. You need to let her know that she is more important than sex. You need to decrease the the things on her stressor list and increase her comfort level. Until you do that, she's going to stay spooked and you'll never make any progress.
