What is her view of how sexual touches should happen within a marriage?


As infrequently as possible. I don't know the answer to this.

I used to wear myself out during conversations with my ex-wife, until I finally determined that assigning logic to her thought process or statements was a waste of time.

Now, I find myself thinking about Ms. Hairdog in a similar way. Assigning causation or fault to me as the root of our sexual or relationship problems is her modus operandi. I could be the "perfect husband"* and she would still find some reason to keep her distance.

Hairdog
* I am perfectly aware that such a creature does not exist. I think I'm a decent guy. I'm better behaved than most, I take showers when I smell bad, I make a steady and honest living, I am a good father to my children. I think I'm a pretty good husband, too. My patience with her unrealistic ideals, and with her overreaction, is wearing thin.
