How did you get your H to drop his defensiveness, work on his own stuff and listen to what you need? I've tried to tell him what I need and that hasn't worked. We haven't been together since April. This week I tried kissing him to see if we might start again. He went from my gentle kiss to a tongue-thrusting face-scratching mash immediately. Clearly leaving him didn't make an impression.
Thanks for your post. It is nice to hear from someone who has a similar experience.
