Examples might be "would fix the back door so it doesn't squeak" or "would put your dirty socks in the hamper instead of throwing them under the bed" or "pay the bills on time" or "would stop trying to kiss and hug me when I am on the phone talking to my mother." Then, where you are able, start doing those things (or stop, as the case may be) So often problems in the bedroom, or to put it more generally, feelings of being unloved, are a reflection of the other person feeling 'unloved' because the person's expressed wishes were ignored. My advice is about ordinary things, but following it might bring you the results you seem to be wanting, if I understand you correctly.
Thanks to both of you. I didn't add that I have done things to damage the relationship which I recently came clean with. I feel I had to come clean but it set us back big time. She is visibly saddened and upset by what I did but I don't think it was a deal breaker, we'll see. She lets me hug, kiss and she is talking to me. I just hope she isn't keeping things civil until the papers are delivered. I make everything a catastrophe and have a hard time stopping my brain from taking things to extremes.
