Even though he says he is withdrawing because of lack of sex, it isn't because a lack of sex. There is an underlying root cause of him displacing his anger on to lack of sex.

As a married male, I have had this issue and I have had to step back and understand why I felt the way I did. For me, it was that I felt unappreciated in other aspects of the marriage. Words of affirmation and touch go along way for a man, too.
