Steve, I can assure you these are two different stories and different people involved. I’m not your wife.

I’m sorry for the sad situation you’ve been going through. Please read CSS’s comment to this story and you’ll understand, hopefully, slightly better.

P.S I would have absolutely gone for the cuddles and hugs. I rarely refused that and on good grounds. My husband doesn’t initiates intimacy — which is different than sex. Intimacy may lead to sex but does not imply it.
