[quote=Anonymous]I've been married for almost 20 yrs.

Sex was a chore when I was super tired, young kids + work, and I felt that DH was half-a$$ing childcare.  Yes, there was some element of "Not doing xyz well enough".  Some of it was my high expectations, but some of it was indeed his half a$$ing parenting.  I was also very resentful of something that he would not listen to me about for years.  Also, he isn't that great in bed.

Sex no longer became a chore when my stress level went down.  He finally heard me about how I felt regarding that resentful situation.  Also helps that the kids are much older.   We had sex yesterday, in the middle of the day, with both kids at home. It is the first weekend in a long while where we had down time.  Kids are teens and can occupy themselves. Much harder to do this when the kids are younger.

I don't know about OP's wife, but for me, it was a combo of stress + resentment + not that great in bed.

He's still not that great in bed, but I feel emotionally more connected to him now, so it's no longer a chore.[/quote]
