For someone like you who is touchy feely you might be more likely to be more physical with your W out of desperation (trying to get her attention, you may not even realize you do this)....and that can unintentionally push her away because she will feel smothered....and/or feel like you are constantly rushing at her.

I know that I am definitely guilty of this too. But how on earth do you get around it? When I am "sex starved", my natural impulse is to push for it more and of course that just pushes my SO further away. With that said, if I don't say anything then nothing will happen either - it seems my SO will just assume I am happy with the way things are.

The whole self esteem issue being discussed is interesting too. My self esteem is very much related to the SSM issues and validation with my SO, and as a result of the problems we are having my self esteem is a bit in the dumps.
