      hi Lauren, nothing to feel embarrassed about. ๐Ÿ˜„ Maybe your DH's love language is not physical touch. Also, some men do not have high sex drive, so they don't usually ask their wives for intimacy. But they show their love in other ways. I'm sure your hubby shows his love for u in other ways too.

      Laurenwkids:

      I am a bit embarrassed to bring this up but most relationships I hear about, the husband is the one who is 'chasing' wife for physical intimacy. For mine, it is kind of the other way round. My hubby will get very engrossed with work and even at home, he would be on the laptop working away.

      If I do not initiate, there will probably be no physical intimacy. I am wondering if there is anything wrong as it makes me feel rather stuck. We can get along very well but he seems switched off in that area.


      It is not easy to keep the passion flame burning through. Frenz of mine says hubby \"seem unable to release himself\" during physical intimacy, dunno what the reason. Assured her that it might be \"one time incident\", not to worry. :oops:

                    Hi Angelight,


                    Yes that is true but he just seems quite switched off in this aspect so I was wondering if it is normal. It has been this way since the start of our marriage.

                      Maybe so, I am quite assured that he is not fooling around outside but still I wish he will take more initiative in this area but I suppose I should be thankful for what I have.

                        Yes, every Friday night is our night out. ๐Ÿ˜„ We love to go to bookstores, used to love going to Borders but now the place feels 'empty' or we would go for foot massage at Kenkos
