It's such a circular argument. He demands, she withholds because he's demanding, he demands more, she withholds more...
Y'all need to learn to compromise. He doesn't get it every day, you pick up an extra shift laying back and thinking of England. It's not that complicated. |
This is such a fsckboi argument. "I put the tokens in. Why didn't I get a sex?!" If only men understood that most women will freely fsck you, daily, if they feel wanted and safe. Being told he expects it of you, like you're just some kind of machine, accomplishes neither. Idiot. |
I don’t withhold because he asks for sex. I just don’t have sex every time he asks because I don’t want it. We are still having sex twice a week and usually one more that includes service for just him. I think that’s reasonable when you have a 3.5 month old and an almost 2 year old. |
He’s a jerk. |
+1 Four times a week? No. No one is entitled to another person's body. |
You will be divorced within 2 years. |
OMG. 😳 He needs a Come to Jesus talk. He is acting like an AH. |
When you say demanding — how did he actually say it? Because “I really wish we could have sex more often” or something like that feels like a demand but isn’t really. |
He isn’t entitled to sex. |
Mandatory sex is very unsexy.
You can tell him you're adding it to your chore list. Or he can up his chore list. I find a man loading and unloading the dishwasher very sexy. If he folds laundry, he's going to get well pampered. |
If you have a 3 mo th old I'm impressed you have any. My libido was in the tank and I was super dry until I weaned the baby. |
I’m not breastfeeding. I gave up after 1 month of latch issues. I nursed my first but this one wouldn’t latch and I wasn’t about to exclusively pump. |
DH here: I was sort of sympathetic to him and thinking about more constructive ways to express his concerns until I read this. If you’re having sex twice a week when you have a 3.5 month old you’re some kind of sexual hero. He needs to get his act together and count his blessings, he’s making the rest of us look bad. Seriously, WTF. |
Twice weekly is not withholding. |
+1000 Splitting the care of HIS children when he is at home isn’t “above and beyond”. These are HIS children! It does kinda feel like he has the attitude he is owed, which isn’t sexy. Young children can be physically exhausting, even with some help. They are having sex 2x a week on the regular, which isn’t “withholding sex”. What are the ages of your children OP? Can you be specific about how much help you have with the kids and how hands on he is? |
