Dread Level 4: Begin conditioning your availability to your wife with her treatment of you. Your are busy now. You don't have time for a sexually disinterested, annoying, or angry wife. Take up another cause if you need to. This is a great time to join a martial arts club.

How many words to execute DL4? Obviously, availability is entirely actions based, but what words, if any, are used to drive this point home? It seems inappropriate to say something like "i have better things to do since you've been so sexually disinterested". That crap comes off butthurt.

Using no words and hoping she finally figures out that when we have sex i get attention seems like it could take months, years or may never happen.

When she is getting zero attention, there is no game, which means initiation chances have dropped significantly. now we're in the chicken or the egg argument.
