[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think women really underestimate the value that men put on sex.  Maybe he feels like you saying that you want to be away from him overnight is like saying that you don’t want to have sex with him that night.  [/quote]

That interpretation would be so much worse.  A guy pouting because he doesn't get sex one night for Mother's Day?[/quote]

I guess I was thinking more like a guy who doesn’t have sex very often because he has three little kids but is thinking that they will have sex on a holiday?  Or is upset that this isn’t something she wants too.  [/quote]

Mother's Day is just about the worst holiday for Dad to be having sex expectations.[/quote]

Agreed.  It’s just a different interpretation on why he was initially disappointed and maybe even why he wanted to hire the babysitter.  Maybe he’s not a lazy jerk who can’t handle being alone with his kids.  Maybe he’s a guy who wants to spend time alone with his wife.

If that’s what he wanted, he would have planned a date night, not tried to hijack the night to herself she specifically asked for. OP, you have every right to be annoyed and to tell your husband you don’t understand why he asked what you wanted if he was going to give you a hard time.

FWIW I still remember a couple mothers days when my kids were still so little and all consuming that breakfast in bed watching tv felt like a luxury vacation. Do NOT FEEL GUILTY. Everyone needs time away from their kids, if you were having your needs met other times you might not be requesting it now.[/quote]
