[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not being "cool girl", OP. If you wouldn't feel this way with this arrangement with a male partner, it's a you problem. Yes, running a business is 9 hours of communication a day, why is this so shocking to you?[/quote]

OP: Well, it wasn’t always like this. We have had a huge decrease in the amount of sex we have since their communication ramped up to where it is now.[/quote]

I would maybe lead with this. Why aren't we having sex as much instead of attacking his business [/quote]

I am someone who has worked closely with lots of men throughout the years and have definitely had personal conversations.  I'd argue that every good business relationship does.  But what feels different in OP's situation is that the personal conversations have seemed to take over available energy and time for OP and their family.  So I start tons of my meetings with a short personal catch up for our team (and sometimes ends that way once we solidify the work).   It's great glue, but it and the idle chit--chat can never be so extensive that it actually keeps me from finishing up work on time to get back to my non-work life.  Otherwise there is too much cross-over in the personal and professional.  I saw it a lot when I worked a ton in my 20s but it wouldn't be right today.

So the comment from OP here is the thing to address.  I don't think I'd ask why aren't we having as much sex.  But instead, I'd say, I miss you.  I'd like more time and energy for us.[/quote]
