I'm also a good Catholic boy accustomed to denying myself. How do you think I have survived so long in my marriage? That good Catholic husband of yours needs to Take Care of His Wife. He needs to deny himself what he gets by withholding his love from you.
To my understanding, in the Catholic Church the family comes first. It's all about keeping families together, come high water or worse. If his training is causing him to shirk his responsibility toward you, then he needs to rethink his priorities.
