Anyway, I don't agree that's true. If a guy were to be all those good qualities, but dress up in a debonair suit and take me out to a romantic dinner one a month, with flirting and handholding, I'd be good to go. Nothing turns women off like men who just don't try at all and take them for granted. Never stop wooing.

You can be the suburban James Bond, but still might not be enough.
To the OP
it is hard.
As one who crossed the line.
You have to be able to ride out the brain chemistry.
Once exposed to rational thought of the real world cheating rarely looks like the best option.*

The double standard for genders is amazing.
holy cow this thread is all over the place.
Being a couple mean that you have to communicate your needs.
the two of you will need come to an understanding on the frequency of intimacy.
Compromise.
because if you are not intimate with each other (emotionally and physically) what are you? Friends?
Good luck

1) The husband.
2) The wife
3) The one who wants sex most
4) The one who wants sex least
5) Other?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that neither partner "controls" sex.
This. The couple should discuss it and figure out where both parties stand and how to make it work together. Revisit as needed if circumstances (health, other stressors) change.
Him: "I want sex."
Her: "I don't want sex."
Him: "I want sex because it's healthy and it's what married people do."
Her: "I don't want sex because I don't feel sexy."
Him: "You look sexy."
Her: "Maybe if you did lots of chores, took me out, did a bunch of stuff I think needs done for the kids."
Him: [Does stuff]
Her: "Hmm, nope, still don't want sex."
Him: "I still want sex."
End result: He did a bunch of stuff she wanted done and they still didn't have sex. So the person who wants sex the least has an incredible amount of leverage.
Thanks for the laugh. This is true until you call them on it, as which case you might not be getting sex, but you will at least be honest with each other.

Maybe not... but an eye for an eye...
I'm sure I'd be so pissed that I wouldn't care if anything good came from it or not.
An eye for an eye until everyone is blind?
The only time one should think about this is if health/safety (and a neutral 3rd party doctor would agree with you , not just well I think.. kind of thing) reasons come into play.
I can also not be full blown depression, but a lesser form which does not present as what most people think of depression.
The first step in any solution is admission of a problem, Until then nothing constructive can happen.

Children need to learn to deal with disappointments in life. Instead of criticizing your DH for a mistake made while taking care of your child, use the experience as a learning experience for her. Kids are resilient. She will survive her lost lovey a lot easier if you do not feed into her tantrum. She is probably picking up more on your anxiety than the actual missing object.
In a calm voice, tell your daughter her lovey is bye bye but she can have the other lovey if she wishes. If she choses to throw a tantrum, don't react and go about doing other things. She will calm down when she sees her tantrum is not getting the attention she wants. She will also learn not to fall apart when life doesn't go as she wishes.
As far as your DH is concerns, let it go. Being overly critical over any mistake is a great way to ensure he will avoid such tasks in the future.

Thank you...
At some point when you get blasted for not doing things the "right way", (still getting done) guess what??
you quit doing things. Because at some point it is easier to not do any thing than to get blasted.
The alternative is to stand your ground but that is easier said than done sometimes.

Stop posting here and call that number.
This go get help, please.
all depends on whether or not it has been discussed.
Out of the blue, expect all the hostility that is on display.
if it something that has been talked about. you definitely will get a better response.
Also since it is not a pair of shoes, do a LOT of research before buying it.

Don't let your house turn into an episode of Hoarders.

But it hasn't always been the case.
This concept of renewing a marriage is a good one. Especially to those that don't have kids.

The cake is not elaborate. Just cake and frosting.
As a guy this seems normal and in context
