@gingerw.... Ginger, I do appreciate your input. This has been our scenario of late. Hope I am not too graphic. After Jeopardy is over, we go to bed, and he finds a comedy on his ipad. He holds the ipad and I snuggle up next to him, just gently hugging him, touching his face and upper chest, and kissing his shoulder. After two programs, he falls asleep. He never touches me, but enjoys me touching him. I think if he would want to caress me, even in a non-sexual way, I would be content. When I tell him just what I am telling you, he reluctantly says okay. Then I don't want him to with an attitude like this. If we try to discuss it, he keeps telling me he is sick (yes, he is sick) and just doesn't feel like this. I am not gross or overweight and also very clean.
