If you think she's doing it to get your goat, do you think it might be that she's looking for attention from you?

I know for me (and many other women from what I've read on these boards) is that in order for me to want sex I need to be emotionally connected to my husband. When it comes to sexual drive, it goes into high gear when he compliments me often and is loving (kisses, cuddles, sweet emails, run out to help unload the groceries). That's really the difference between 'I guess I can get into the mood' when approached and feeling in the mood when he isn't even here, because I miss him and want to be close to him and thinking about him just gets me going.

Date night once a week, working out together, etc. has really made a huge impact in connecting us and relieves a lot of stress to get away from the kids, housework, bills, work, etc.
