A couple of weeks ago my wife and I got jiggy for the first time in five years. After our third kid she just went completely off it and we’ve been in a dead bedroom situation ever since, she told me how she felt and despite my frustration I understood and respected her wishes. A couple of weeks ago I just opened up about how I was feeling unloved and then blam! It happened out of nowhere. I was in a daze and couldn’t believe it. Now I’m scared it’s going to be five years before it happens again.

I know this is just a thread to vent, but I really want you to focus on the fact that communicating how you felt helped the situation so much. Please don't wait 5 more years to try that again.

From the way I read his comment, Im sure he communicated plenty.
