Husband says I suck at nurturing, and that it's "natural" for women

People can only love their children unconditionally. If romantic partner doesn’t treat you right I am sure you aren’t going to stay with them let alone keep loving them. It’s not how it works

A marriage is about partnership NOT nurturing

I am in the same boat as you are. Our marriage is on the rocks because of this as well as several more underlying issues. Basically, I am a bad wife and mother. I am not emotionally connected to my husband and kids and is more open and loyal to friends. I have been emotionally neglected as anchild and as my therapist and I have worked out, I can’t nurture when I had no proper “training” to nurture. My husband can’t seem to get this as he also had a bad childhood but came out of it emotionally okay. I am stuck as well and completely relate to how you feel.

Nurturing is not genderbased.It is a human virtue.Some of us may not have that side to us for different reasons.A marriage counseling may help you guys in making your relationship better.

What a ridiculous suggestion. HE has a problem and SHE should have sex with him and SHE should ask him how to improve?

How about he acts like a grown-up rather than like a selfish brat & tries to gets his own needs met, rather than someone else catering to all his needs and desires?

Alot of people are raised without a good nurturing role model. It is nothing to be ashamed of. I disagree that it is natural to women just as chivelry is not natural to men. If I lack in a quality my partner desires and they ask politely I will read a book on it and practice it. You can also ask them what specific actions they feel they are missing from the marriage. If they still aren't satisfied, well now I have a new quality about myself and they can go "nurture" themselves.
