Dreaming,

There is a saying (I think it’s a 12 Step Program one), Expectations are premeditated resentments.  If you want sex for your birthday then tell him.  As a guy, I would appreciate to hear what my intimate partner would want/expect for such a special occasion.

THIS IS ABOUT FRANK, COMPASSIONATE, HONEST, DIRECT COMMUNICATION!

Women tend to think that if they hint and assume with their mates then they will get what they want, i.e. “if he really loves me then he will KNOW/DO that…”  BS!  Intimacy is to be able to express our needs, feelings, wants/requests up front, frankly and compassionately IMHO.

My two cents.  This is a difficult paradigm shift which most people are not aware and have a tough time to transition to.

Take care.
