Empathy is seeing things from your partner’s point of view.
Role play put yourself in your partner’s shoes and consider how you would feel/react for example if you made a sexual advance and were rejected.
CONSIDER: ARE YOU BOTH WILLING TO CHANGE BEHAVIOUR TO MEET EACH OTHER”S NEEDS?

1. Try to do something that you know your partner will appreciate each day. Don't guess - draw on your memory, or from hints or comments of things you used to do to please him / her.
2. Identify what is already being done that is pleasing, e.g." I feel loved and cared about when you----", and let your partner know what other things would also be pleasing, e.g. : “I will appreciate it if you would”----or “I would like you to”----[not “you haven’t”]
3. Exchange the lists of things you would each like done, and discuss which of these each of you feels comfortable or uncomfortable doing for the other.
4. Starting tomorrow [!!] do at least one non conflict behaviour [that you know will please your partner] each day, - starting with the ones that are easiest for you.
5. Add more items to the list as they occur to each of you, and discuss them.
6. When your partner does a caring behaviour, acknowledge it with an appreciative comment.

These caring behaviours are gifts and not obligations.
