[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm the only one who is clueless to what OP is talking about?[/quote]

OP thinks her husband basically does nothing to help with the household or the kids and, instead, depends on her for everything. Despite this, her husband wants to have sex with her. She believes her lack of attraction to him has to do with his failure to accept an appropriate level of responsibility as a husband and a father. So, she resents him as a life partner and, in particular, very much does not want to have sex with him.

That's my take anyway.  [/quote]
... but, instead of immediately DIVORCING him like she should, she stays because he is a provider of sorts; and (as a woman) she is entirely capable of living without sex, meanwhile she takes pleasure in complaining to friends/family about her ManChild, while projecting a happy household whenever that's a more beneficial story line.

Another cliche DCUM marriage. Just so you know, men don't go long periods of time without sex. If not you, then elsewhere.
OP, if you aren't OK living with a ManChild (who is sleeping around every chance he gets) please take the necessary action to end your marriage right now. Otherwise, accept your fate and stop complaining.

In case you actually wanted advice: 1. Lower your household standards.  2. Outsource everything possible. 3. Involve the kids in doing more for themselves. 4. Redistribute "everything else" so you are not resentful. 5. Explain it to DH like he was 5 because he unfortunately sounds clueless but if you present Option A (he does all this stuff but the marriage is saved and you'd be up for regular sex) versus Option B (divorce) then most men will get onboard the A program[/quote]
