Dear Abby,
I am frustrated with my husband. We have been together for 18 years. When it gets close to my menstrual cycle, he gets into an angry panic for us to be intimate because he travels for work and is home only four nights a week. If we’re not able to, he pouts, then becomes angry and distant, and peppers me for updates to determine how soon we can resume intimacy.
