I should clarify that his cr*p behavior is what I believe to be his "offense is the best defense" approach to avoiding sex with me. __________________________________________________________
I have experienced this too. My H's form of offense is to pre-emtively talk about how "tired" he is or to deflect any of what looks like desirous behavior on my part - HP refers to this as "wax on/wax off." I detest the reality that he does this stuff to deter me from wanting sex with him. The thing is that I have resilient sexuality - I can often get past any initial pissed feelings that would keep me from wanting sex. You are this way too. I wonder if your H gets extra crappy because you are so naturally resilient. One of my big difficulties in my M is that I find myself hiding my "enthusiasm" when H does show a little extra affection - I do this for fear of "scaring him off." Like you, the biggest area at issue is the part that occurs between life and sex. While I would like H to be more experimental etc...I could live with the actual sex as long as the desire and sexual negotiation piece went better.

PS Did you want to have sex during ovulation just because you are extra horny then or are you trying to get pregnant? Is your H on board with the idea of pregnancy?
