I feel like my husband is uncomfortable with true intimacy. I love that we always joke around and laugh together. However, once In a while I would like to go sit at a park bench together, or listen to music and gaze into each others eyes. Today when we were laying down I asked him to look in my eyes, His response was that I was forcing him into something that should come naturally. It hurts my feelings that he would use the word force just Bc it's something that doesn't come natural to him...well there's a lot of things that don't come natural to me as his wife, but I do them Bc I know it's important to my husband and I genuinely enjoy making him happy, even if it's at the expense of my comfort level. How do I encourage my husband to engage with me more intimately and not find my ideas cheesy or dumb?
