we went without any intimacy for seven months

To men intimacy means sex....women need to feel loved and cared about in a tender way. That means listening to her, showing her respect, looking into her eyes - really caring. Saying words like, "You look pretty today" doesn't count. Anybody can say that to anybody. Give her the 'intimacy' she wants and you'll get the 'intimacy' you want - otherwise, we'd just be a bunch of sluts with low-self esteem, wouldn't we?

I think that is one of the major communication glitches we have in relationships.

I want so badly to reclaim what we once had, but I cannot do it without his help. But he doesn't want to help me until he can reclaim what we once had. :(

In a previous FR thread, there was a statement made about the secret to a happy marriage that really stuck with me. Pardon me if it has already been posted, I only read the first page, and now the last.

The secret to a happy marriage:

For the husband to listen, really *listen* to the wife for at least 15 minutes a day.

For the wife to have sex with the husband at least once a week.

It seems pretty reasonable.

Yeah? I defy you to say that... to Hillary!
