I was thinking HP that my H never is able to give me a hug when I most desperately need it...it's as if he is afraid of my neediness and puts up a wall. He does much better at the hugging thing when I don't need him, lol.
I am trying to think of a way that you don't feel so starved at nite. I can see how he would balk at the 10 minute suggestion. How about something that puts it more under his control, like saying, " I need 2 or 3 hugs a day from you right now...it doesn't matter when, but at some point in the day." I realize that it's nowhere near what you want, but I do feel you need to remind him about your being on his list again.
I do think modern culture really makes things hard for new moms. I was reading a book called "The Red Tent" which is a fictional though compelling story about biblical times, and it emphasized how the women would come together in a clannish/tribal way during periods of stress, especially when a baby was born.
I'm hoping H has more time for you over the weekend...hope everyone is feeling better there!
