I have this issue constantly. Basically, if I say I'm not up for it, he throws himself around in a huff and sighs and will be in a foul mood with me and the kids.
I have a 7 year old and 3 year old twins. I worry about things like money (we all do) and I'm a stay at home mum. I find it hard to want sex. Sometimes I get on with it and end up enjoying it. Often, I feel cheapened.
We have sex roughly once or twice per week, but this changes when he's gone in a huff, because that's just a massive passion-killer.
His reaction in itself puts me off. I've been completely honest with him. Even telling him that sometimes I have sex with him when I don't want to. He just says he can't help his reaction.
I love him, he's a good Dad and husband and I fantasise about us going away for a weekend, no kids...and having sex.
What can I say/do to help him realise his behaviour is unfair. Do I need to take up drinking to get through it?!
