Kmadhav,   
      
   I can't speak for all women, but I have personally been "informed" that I   
   should manipulate my husband in order to get what I want. Women often aren't   
   taught that meeting their husband's needs will meet their own needs in the   
   long run. Men aren't stupid    
   and they aren't brutes. You guys *want* to do for us. The problem arises when   
   we react to the way that we treat one another. Please see my hub "Showing Your   
   Man Some Love" for more information!

   I'm sorry that you're experiencing that. It sounds like your wife might have   
   borderline personality disorder (or something similar). I cannot imagine how   
   difficult it would be for you.   
      
   I take the standpoint that we, as women, expect our husbands to love us   
   unconditionally. We don't feel that we should have to earn your love. So why   
   should you gentlemen have to earn our respect and the right to have us meet   
   your needs?   
      
   Please keep hope in your situation. I understand how you feel (I'm not getting   
   any at the moment) in as much as possible (being female), and I hope for the   
   best in your situation!   
      
   belief713, I am currently working on a series of articles for women about   
   improving their marriages. The deeper I get into it the longer I realize it's   
   going to be. I might be contacting the staff for guidance on how to accomplish   
   everything I'm trying    
   to do with the series. It might interest you, especially given some of our   
   recent discussions :)   
      
   I was looking for a topic to write about today (since I try to publish a hub a   
   day to keep myself going) and you just gave it to me. I will link it from this   
   hub when I'm done, but please watch my profile for it. An article about my   
   personal experience    
   with sex and emotions.   
      
   Taram, I appreciate your comments and am inclined to agree with you. Initially   
   I had planned on not writing a great many hubs for women but using my   
   "women's" hubs to promote my own site. I have changed my mind and as I said   
   above, plan on writing an    
   entire series for women on how to improve and save their marriages!
