If you think you can do that, then accept the "just sex" option.
Nop:
The problem I see with your advice is that no "just sex" option was ever offered. People here are referring to it as an offer, and HD has listed it as one of his options, but look again at her email to him. Here's what she said:

I might be able to grit my teeth and force myself to do this if it's what you need to stay married. But it is not making love, just as cleaning the house is not making love, and it certainly won't make me feel very loved or loving toward you.
Does that sound like an offer to you? I mean, I legitimate offer that she would actually follow through on? Not to me, it doesn't. It's a mind game, designed to intimidate HD and get him to back down. Can you imagine her reaction if he told her he wanted to accept her "offer?"
Hairdog: Okay MrsHD, I've decided to take option #3. Please climb into bed, remove your pants, and grit your teeth.
MrsHD: Where did I leave my handgun?
Just my opinion. Sex with MrsHD is not an option at this point, gritted teeth or not. Anyone agree?
