It's a Mars/Venus thing. Men think sex=love, and if you won't have sex with them you don't love them. Women need to know they are loved outside of sex. Therefore, no sex=love. Unfortunately, I don't think many men understand how to be intimate without having sex. Also unfortunately, I discovered the nature of the problem but was not able to come up with a solution soon enough to save my marriage, so you might want to be careful taking advice from me.
;^P
Seriously, though, if you haven't read the Mars/Venus books, you and your husband should. They are very good at helping you identify communications problems, and hopefully you will make it to the solutions.

It's tough to put youself in the other person's shoes, but I honestly understand why he feels the way he does and I am honestly not trying to punish him by not being with him. It's just a combination of fatigue/disappointment/resentment that drives sex to the bottom of my priorities.

Yeah...best book in the world for a man that wants to learn how to be his wife's best girlfriend.
