My husband told me he had stopped initiating sex because he wanted to see how long I could go without noticing that something was wrong in our marriage. I thought he was joking. He wasn’t. It started on a Friday night when he tried to get intimate with me after a stressful week. I told him I was exhausted and wanted to sleep. He kissed my forehead and said, “Okay, goodnight.” I didn’t think twice about it. The following week, he didn’t initiate anything. I assumed he was busy or tired, just like I had been. Two weeks passed. Then three. He was still a good husband. He paid bills, helped around the house, asked about my day, and never complained about anything.
