very behavior - including infantile behavior - is abusive if it bothers you, you asked the perpetrator to stop, and he won't. Childish behavior is usually an attempt to avoid responsibility, accountability, and, above all, intimacy. "Abuse" is when the behavior is causing harm to another person, whether it be physical or mental abuse. If this childish behavior is harming someone, then it may be considered abuse. If they are simply being selfish, you may not like it but it probably isn't really harming you.

No. Abuse is only the result of the choice to use an abusive tactic. In any situation, abusive behavior is a choice, and non-abusive behavior can be chosen at the same time. The frequency of sex in a marriage can not cause abuse, but abuse can definitely impact the frequency of sex in a marriage.
