However, I never--repeat, NEVER--made uncalled for remarks to rectify my male ego. I was loving and attentive in every way I was capable of at the time.




I'm sorry if I offended you. I thought you indicated in one of your posts that you had taken some of her comments on the problem over the years as criticism and reacted defensively. I didn't mean to imply that you were rude or cruel to her but I have to imagine that anything you said when you were feeling "defensive" might not have gone over very well with her. Many "excuses" can easily be interpreted as "blame transfer". For instance, if you said "I'm too tired. I've been watching the kids all day.", your wife might have heard this as "It's your fault we're not having sex because you left me alone with the kids all day." etc.
