Um, no. You simply need a woman who actually values her marriage enough to prioritize even 60 minutes per week for intimacy. No nanny, surrogate, or plastic surgeon required. Just a wife with a shred of loyalty to her marriage vows. |
#1 - the way he speaks to me and ignores my sexual preferences. #2 - Yes, still attracted to plenty of men. #3 - Bad communication and his priorities (ie - my interests aren't high on his list) #4 - kinda |
100% agree. Why do so many women think being a good mom and being a good wife are mutually exclusive? You took VOWS to your partner. Stop treating them like an option, an afterthought, or a bank account!! They are so much more than that! |
Vows - wtf? I missed the part where I vowed to have sex 1 hr/wk.
|
| Then go back and review what it means to be married. It is a sexual relationship. And if you can't prioritize even 1 hour per week, you probably should not be married. |
| He can't seem to tear himself away from stupid phone games or whatever he is doing on his phone. Drinks beer and falls asleep on the couch. I have been doing most of the initiating, and he easily gets turned on, but I'm going to see how many days/weeks it takes for him to come to me. I wonder if he'd be sad if he knew most nights I was lying in bed thinking about having sex with him, but he can't put down the phone. |
What did you vow then? |
Bullshit. There are plenty of men complaining about once a week. They complain that bedtime routine takes 1 hour, poor little bunny doesn't get attention every night. Plenty of guys won't screw their wife if they gain 20 lbs. The expections put on wives is to make 50 % of the money do 75% of the housework, do 75% of the child rearing, manage all family relations and to have sex like a porn star and to look like a model. A small percentage are in sexless marriages. Many men describe their life as "sexless" even though they get sex weekly. |
And if he can't even prioritize one date a month, neither should he. The sense of entitlement is really fucking offputting, guys. No woman wants to be seen as a foregone conclusion. If you treat sex as an expectation, so will we. You want us to keep it sexy? Keep it sexy! |
Apparently math AND reading comprehension are hard for women. 1 hour a week is NOT "24/7". There is plenty of time to troll DCUM in the 167 hours of the week when I'm not having sex with the wife. |

I think the "Pervy Perv" poster has valid points, but maybe that's because sex is a top priority for me. Women with a high sex drive go through the same thing. I speak from experience. I talked openly about my need for sex. My exes swore they were also high drive. Then one day, they just weren't.
PP, the shared habit of both of my high drive partners was they both routinely woke me up in the middle of the night for sex. It was a high priority and it didn't fade. I wasn't able to maintain a relationship with one of those partners. Our personalities clashed too much. I'm still happily together with the other. |
This. |
This. There is no *type* of woman to look for. Sporty, not sporty. Fit, not fit. That has nothing to do with it. There are some women who are very into their appearance and want to be pursued, but they don't necessarily have a healthy view of the role of sex in a marriage. Same with men, by the way. The best thing to do is to talk and try to get a sense of how a potential future spouse views sex in a relationship. That's the only way you'll know that, whatever happens, you will always be able to work through things with your spouse and trust that you and your spouse are on the same page as far as expectations and priorities and how to navigate tough times. |
Woman here. I think that's an unfair generalization. |
He is a lazy, selfish, unskilled lover and has gotten fat. I can't be bothered. |
