It also sounds like the job is giving him a sense of entitlement and he is getting caught up in what he deserves. Now before we all castrate him for this, let me say that I am (was???? cripes, I hope I'm getting over this ugly habit) prone to this. I think, Man I am a good lookin woman..how DARE he not want to have sex with me! Does he KNOW how many other men would give their eye teeth...blah blah ad NAUSEUM. (emphasis on the nausea part)






I was thinking about "entitlement" regarding this issue too. Isn't it completely a value judgement? Mr. Corri thinks he deserves to be "blown to completion" because he works so hard. You sometimes think you deserve a man who desires you because you look so good. I used to think I deserved a hug when I tried to be a nice wife. I think when we talk about "deserving" something we are talking about our perception of sexual economics outside our relationship. Of course, talking about sexual economics outside our relationship is only useful if our spouse shares a similar view (doesn't think most people only have sex twice a year.)wants to be in a relationship(doesn't have romantic vision of hermit living like my H) and believes that outside sexual economics matter(unlike Mr.HP who knows HP will never divorce).

Does Mr.Corri live in a world where he can get what he wants for the price he is willing to pay? I think Corri surveyed the women in order to answer this question. What price is Mr.Corri willing to pay in order to get what he wants? This is the question she needs to ask him.
