Drawing helps me a lot. I scratch letters and shapes into my legs, and have found pen works instead sometimes. Otherwise, I try and make sure I am...

biAnnika said it really well - maybe she actually thinks you don't like her at all!
Think in the end my husband only cared about sex, didn't seem to about me much (and that was before I told him). Something to do with catholic...
