Wife of Super-Sensitive Husband

Dear WholeFamily,

I have one question that I hope you can answer for me - How do I tell my super-sensitive husband that he is not giving me what I need sexually without hurting his feelings?

  
  

Dear Wife of Super Sensitive Husband,

You are not satisfied with what your husband is giving you sexually. You know what you need and don't know how to tell him without hurting his feelings. If your husband is "super sensitive" he will most probably be sensitive to your needs and willing to satisfy them if he were to know how.

If you tell him what he is not giving you, his feelings may be hurt. But if you tell him what you do need, he will appreciate the trust you have in his ability to understand your needs and satisfy them.

I suggest that you approach your husband by gently and affectionately telling and showing him how to give you what you need sexually.

Good luck,

Dr. Silvet Sufar-Shalit
