Asking for a sexual hiatus..good or bad idea?

Hi guys, My husband & I have a strong relationship & a strong sexual relationship as well. We both love sex with each other & I will always agree to doing anything he wants..within healthy reason of course; ) However, I am asking him for a sexual hiatus because over the past several months he has forgotten about some of my personal needs & has gotten lazy about meeting them. He's a great man, but sometimes just falls into a place where (I think) he, maybe subconciously, doesn't feel that he needs to change anything he is doing (or not doing) because I put no pressure on him to adjust his actions. I've been reflecting on this & wondering what can I DO now, (not say) in order to get through to him? It's hit me lately that things aren't going so fair in our marriage. We've had talks & he's graciously agreed to meet these simple & reasonable needs, yet will forget our conversations & go right back to his habits within a few days. I got to thinking that maybe it's partially my fault & maybe I am enabling this. I am always 'ready' for him at a moments notice...I love sex with him & want it as much as he does..I also take care of him in every other way, he has no complaints, (I've asked him.) So I've continued to be a good wife, always, always meeting his needs, but without getting the proper reciprocal attention lately. I told him I want to take a sexual break & explained why. He understood me & respected my wishes. So he knows what I'm thinking, although he admitted that it won't be a punishmement for him & that he won't connect the two things ( not meeting my needs= no sex.) He asked if I minded if he jerks off- I don't mind. But will taking this break & me not meeting his needs until he takes me seriously & tries to meet mine, even be successful?? I know taking care of oneself doesn't come close to satisfying the emotional connection of sex with your SO, but I worry that he'll be satisfied enough to not care that much that we are taking a break. Any & all thoughts are totally welcome! Thank you! Posted via Mobile Device
