CeMar,

To her sex and affection are extremely low on the "emotional needs index".

What is higher up on her emotional needs index?

"acts of service person

Does she allow acts of service that involve contact. ie back rubs, foot rubs, massages?

I noticed on another thread you stated
I know my own wife is willing to have sex because I "need" it. I HATE this.

I wanted to ask you a question about this.
If you wife is a ND and she has sex with you to fufill your needs do you not look at this as a act of love?
Her want to fufill you even though it does not fufill her in the same manor seems unselfish of her and shows she cares enough about you to try to fill your love tank.
I understand that you want to feel passion coming from her to feel desired by her. But from that statement it does seem that she desires to make you happy. May not be 100% of what you want but is this not a attempt to meet you in the middle? Just curious.
