[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back again...

[quote=Anonymous]Maybe you guys need to just take the pressure off right now and have affection and intimacy but not  worry about intercourse.

I recommend you slowly try to be more physically affectionate in ways don't necessarily lead to sex. Kiss her randomly in the kitchen. Touch her arm or back more when you guys are talking. Cuddle her on the couch and put your arm around her but don't try to advance it.[/quote]

So, this is exactly the strategy I've been pursuing.  In fact, I've shifted my shows of affection to be exclusively those that she says she likes, and pretty much don't do the things I personally always preferred to do (the ways I've enjoyed touching a partner).  That "no sex but cuddle/affection" is pretty much exactly where we are now, that has resulted in the situation.  It's not working.[/quote]

You've got a baby and a toddler. It's a tough time. Keep it going and give it time.[/quote]

Just to reiterate: I'm fine with waiting - I'm not climbing the walls due to lack of sex.  I'm not cheating and I'm not going nuts because we aren't doing it.

What is happening - and the reason I'm not taking a wait-and-see approach - is that my wife is starting to have more and more upset/anger at me because I'm not chasing her tail around all the time.  This might all work out better if I were still a 17 year old horndog and happy with duty sex.  [/quote]
