ORIGINAL: tsatske i have never understood why this question gets asked over and over, when it seems so obvious to me. Draw your wifes baths. Give your wife backrubs. rub her feet. Buy her gifts. Make her dinner. bring her breakfast in bed. bring her flowers. take her out to dinner. Make the bed. Light candles. Go rent a movie you know would be to her taste, pop popcorn and snuggle up on the couch. Clean the house. ask her if you can brush her hair. when you draw her a bath, go all out. light candles. set out a glass of wine and a book, put on soft music. When you make the bed, go all out. sprinkle flowers on the sheets, light candles and play soft music. When you make dinner, go all out. set the table with good dishes, candles and flowers, play soft music. when something you do as an act of service makes a little mess, make sure YOU clean up the mess - vacuum up the flower petals, clean the bathtub after her bubble bath, wash the dishes. Do all this for several months, slowly increasing and being of more loving service to her. as she becomes used to you being of service, the time will become ripe to talk to her about your other needs. explain to her (only after several months of willing, cheerful, thoughtful service) that it does not all need to be physical, that she can have your service regardless of her health, that this is the way you are built and need to express your deep love for her. does it not seem that she would be more amenable to hearing this, that way, once she sees that you mean it for six months are so? Wow, you are clever, tsatske. Probably not the way most men think and certainly not the OP. His is a more selfish whine, I believe.
