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. Regardless of how I feel at my time of the month, my feelings are ignored."
"You appear to be married to an ignorant bully. It is not right for your husband to be angry over something your body does naturally.
