BusyMum, I think you are on the right track and have a good handle on what is going on. You didn't say much about his personality or how much you two communicate. I know coming from the other side of this equation that I might not react well/appropriately with this type of discussion. Unless you started it with the way you started your 1st post.
If the first words out of my W's mouth were "you're a great husband" and the discussion was framed around "us", I would be very receptive - even appreciative. Even if you feel it, try to avoid blame. Men tend to get defensive, go on the attack or just shut down with this stuff. But underneath, I think most of us want to do anything to make our W's happy.
MEM - that was an awesome post!!!
