Happy New Year. Just wanted to mention that I feel a lot of empathy for you getting "set up" with the - maybe comment followed by touching on another occasion with no follow through. I am learning that while being touched or hearing sexual innuendo over the course of several different encounters is a "build up" for me - makes me feel more and more iterested they seem to be discrete events to my H. They have no connection. They are mere sound bytes to him, not parts of one tune. Just some thoughts. BTW - I agree wholeheartedly about the anxiety that your W seems to experience. It comes through in many of your posts. My H seems to have a lot of anxieties around sex too. It is hard to empathize with the anxiety while standing firm about your own needs.
