MrsCAC4,

Did you see this post? CAC4 is saying that it is stressful to be trying to think of the exact right words to satisfy you without denying his feelings. I think CAC4 gave a great clue toward better communication. Your Statement to him with a question mark on the end was putting words into his mouth. Try to ask a more open ended question like "How did you feel about our lovemaking last week?" or "I enjoyed when we did x last week; what did you enjoy?" (MrCAC4 please help!!!) and TRUST that he will come up with WOA for you. And MRCAC4 PLEASE use this as a chance for POSITIVE feedback!!

Last night, I wanted him to acknowledge last week's sexual encounters and say something like, "yes, last week was an improvement. I really felt closer to you, and I'd love it if we could have more weeks like that."
.................................................................

I wanted to say that, because I really do think that. But you didn't give me the chance to say it. And its not an answer to the question that you asked, which was along the lines of "wasn't it just everything you could ever hope for"...
2 possible answers...one would be a lie, and promote a cessation of progress; the other...well, it just put us deeper into a tailspin.
