What would you really like to tell your spouse or partner but can't or won't?

I've got to weigh in here - my husband, who I haven't had an orgasm with in years, is well-hung. My lover, who I can't get enough of, is not. It's not the package. It's the interest in me, the feeling that I'm the only one in the world...........
I don't want to be his wife, I just want that feeling.....

I would love to tell DH that I lost respect for him. He makes excuses for everything he never gets done when the truth is he is just lazy. That I don't even want to have sex with him anymore because even that seems like it's too much of an effort for him. He's out of shape and huffs and puffs about anything even remotely physical and I can't count on him to take care of even one administrative thing for the kids (for example, calling the school to confirm X, making a Dr.s appointment for Y, signing kids up for various activities) it's always "I didn't get around to it" yet he doesn't do anything else.

That I am only staying with him because of the kids and he's a generally nice guy and we get along - it's just I have to do everything.

I waste hours getting high and watching porn.

You are either a woman or the most evolved man ever. My husband doesn't want to please me - he's only 50, but he grew up in an Ozzie and Harriet household - women asking for something, you've got to be kidding. We can't have a conversation about what movie to see, let alone whether I'm happy in bed. I know that I am choosing to stay in this situation, but it's a lot more complicated than an orgasm.

If only I had know this before I had the two most wonderful kids in the world.

I'm the PP who said that and I'm not that evolved. I simply know the frustration of suspecting that DW isn't getting as much as she can out of it but has a hard (if not impossible) time of telling me what she really wants. It's like I'm supposed to know exactly what she needs, where, and when. I just want her to scream, "touch me there now, with your foot, dammit," but she's far too passive to articulate anything.

Sorry, PP, that sucks really bad. My DH can be like this, too.

Mouth taco or between the legs taco?

Um, teeth. That was enough to turn me off, so instead I rolled over and read a book. Seriously, she doesn't care enough to brush her teeth before coming to bed, yet wants to kiss?

Wow! Bingo! +1

That even though she was away on a business trip last week, none of us (H + tween kids) was particularly thrilled that she came back, which she cemented by spending the first few hours bitching about her meetings and texting her friends on the phone.

We fuck regularly, but there are at least three people in the bed because in order for me to cum I usually need to fantasize about somebody else ....

Wow! I have felt this many times.

Why would you not talk to her about this? Stand up for your son at a bare minimum.

I'd ask him if he remembers foreplay, because I barely do.

That if she would be ok with me sleeping with other women, I would be the most devoted loving husband ever (and she can sleep with other men too). It would remove the elephant in the room of our sex drive disparity.
