Thanks, This whole issue has been the elephant in the room for a long long time. I think I might have made some head way this morning when I told her that she made me want to cry. When she asked why, I said, "we're going to go through the rest of our lives like this because you're not willing to address this problem." and,..I was crying too. Her reaction was much more of a willingness to be affectionate and without my saying anything more. I hope this is at least a starting point.
My wife of 42 years is only affectionate if I initiate it
