So things are pretty rocky with my wife. Some days are better than others.

I am still getting out from under being an approval seeking bitch. Some days are better than others.

It's been about 3 weeks since sex happened. I haven't initiated until tonight. We were watching a movie together, I leaned over a few times and kissed her on the neck. No warm up, no trying-to-get-her-in-the-mood moves, no doing what I think would turn her on. I wanted to kiss her neck so I did. She didn't respond at all. I pulled back and maintained frame, i.e. not butthurt, being playful, enjoying the movie. Went in again with the same results.

No big deal.

I want to have sex with her. No, I want to fuck her brains out. Yes, her brains. It is my intention to keep our family together, though I have made peace with the very real possibility that it's going to fall apart any day now. Her brains.

Any tips on how to initiate, if at all, in this kind of situation?

I've been asking myself the question: what value does she add, and other than child care for my son, I'm coming up with a big goose egg.
