when a partner will never make a move, or hasn’t made a move in a long time.
That’s how I’ve ended up in situations like the OP. If she’s shot me down the last 20 times I’ve tried to initiate anything I’m going to stop doing it. It’s on her to let me know when she’s in the mood at that point. I’m not gonna just keep dealing with rejection and feeling like I’m pressuring her to do shit she’s not interested in for whatever reason.
Yep, that’s my experience too. After a series of getting shown the door, she has to announce when it’s ok again. This is a basic curtesy to expect from a partner (regardless of gender) that was not in the required headspace for sex for a while.
