[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's why my DH thinks I'm "low drive"-- it's his behavior.  He cooks dinner, which is nice, but then watches ESPN on his phone while we eat.  I try to use dinner to talk with our two kids, teach good table manners, etc..   He undermines this with bad table manners and his phone.  I watch him wipe his mouth with his hand-- do you think I want that inside me?  Then we both do some chores and he half-assedly plays with the kids while still on his damn phone.  God forbid we ever have an actual conversation about anything, ever.  Then I get ready for bed.  After staying up later than either of us should, I hear him in the bathroom.  I can tell he doesn't brush his teeth, or even wash his hands after pooping.  Then he paws me to see if I'm willing to have sex.  Surprise, I'm not!  I actually prefer morning sex, but since he won't cooperate with me getting enough sleep, I usually don't feel like it.

The many times we've discussed this, he tells me that he doesn't think his hygiene and table manners are bad and that I'm a snob for caring.  He expects me to care about his sexual needs, yet doesn't even care that I don't want to get an infection from his lack of personal hygiene.  Most of all, I resent that whenever I try to frankly discuss this, he just calls me a snob and refuses to compromise.  So I've reconciled myself to being called "low drive" even though I'm really not.

So, OP, if there's any issue that your wife raised a few times some years back and you dismissed, maybe reconsider that.  And brush your damn teeth.[/quote]

Why did you marry him? People don't change that drastically.[/quote]
