Yes, I noticed GEL's husband's take on the "can't take this indefinitely" comment. And his negative spin. Very similar to my W's reactions.
I have found that backing off of the "I will not live in a sexless marriage forever" statement has improved her mood very much, and seems to be helping our day-to-day interactions.
I'm still not getting laid, but, damn, I feel good about it.
Just kidding. I'm still working on it, and I'm going to work my damndest to make this marriage a pleasant place to be.
