I got an email the other day from a woman complaining that the only thing her husband ever initiates is sex. She longs for him to initiate a special night out or plan a weekend away or even ask her to take a walk - but despite her requests for those things, he has yet to come through.
Maybe her pleas just aren't registering - maybe he's being obstinate - or maybe he's waiting to get what he wants (sex) before giving her what she wants (special time together). Are you and your partner caught in a standoff - each waiting for the other to change first? If so, you're both going to be waiting forever. You risk making yourself vulnerable when you take the first step toward meeting your partner's needs, but you also take charge of creating change. Isn't that better than remaining passive and powerless?
