Q.: My feminist wife has recently requested that I do not look at her naked, as it makes her uncomfortable. But she gets upset with me when I apologize for accidentally seeing her unclothed, saying that it's not a problem.
We sleep separately as she is a light sleeper and I am an incurable snorer, but are in a loving relationship and have a child.
I crave intimacy, and she says she does too, but there is always some reason it doesn't happen.
I don't see a way way out of this catch-22 situation. How can I broach the subject without looking like just another [dumb] male?
POLL: How can he talk about this with his wife?
| 56% (1005) | He can't. They both need a third party -- like a therapist -- to wade through this mess. | |
| 0% (10) | Give it time. | |
| 16% (299) | No sex? Separate rooms? He's hardly married. Get a divorce! | |
| 1% (28) | Blindfold himself in the bedroom. | |
| 24% (441) | Maybe if he stopped thinking about this person as his "feminist wife" and started thinking about her as "his wife," that'd be a good first step. |
