Re: HP I know my husband is willing to listen to me say what it means to me, but I'd better be honest and include the physical part or he tunes me out. He sees it as a ploy. Do the wives do this too? Yes BB does.
Last night I watched a sex myths program (sex is bad for people with heart conditions) and there was a heart Dr. on talking about normal, once a week sex and the general health of a man. If sex was twice a week, the men lived 1.6 years longer and if sex was everyday the men lived 8 years longer. BB said it was crap men disseminated, and just some trick so H's could get more sex. Then I said (resentments about little or reluctant sex lessens life span, causes many health problems, etc) how I feel and we continued some more this AM. I don't konw if I made many points. Time will tell.
HP, I don't have any knowledge what other women think, but I run into the ploy attitude often. I think it comes from the other person's expectations/dreams not being realised often enough, according to what they think their expectations/dreams should have come true.
