to not want a quickie..

At 7am today when my husband has pretty muuch ignored me (sexually) for the last 3 weeks and then wakes up with a hard on and I just happen to be beside him.

This is an ongoing issue for us. He complains that I never initiate sex, yet NEVER comes to bed with me, preferring to stay up till 1am watching sport or whatever happens to be on the tv. I have told him time and time again over the years that if he were in bed at the same time as me from time to time, then I would find it easier to get in the mood.

I am not against quickies per se, but he was away on a lads holiday for 4 nights, came home from that, I suggested we go out to dinner, (and usually as a date night that would mean sex) but he said he wanted to watch the footie when we got home. So I let it go. Then all last week I worked night and day helping him with a business issue, he was really grateful, but still never went near me, and then finally, he wakes up with a hard on, and oh look, I just rememebered I have a wife!!

And to all those who say why dont I just jump him or tell him what I want, well the thing is, I dont want sex anyway when I am being taken for granted like this, and he knows damn well becuase I have told him a zillion times that I need some intimacy, verbal connection whatever you want to call it before I can get turned on. So, at the end of a long day at home with kids, and having finally hung up the marigolds, I am not gonna suddenly feel like jumping on my husband, but if he came up to bed at the same time and maybe gave me a hug or some bloody sign of affection then I am sure I would get in the mood pretty quick.

So I am fed up. And would welcome any views, flaming, whatever...

How funny- my dh was a bit fruity as well this morning.
Didn't get anywhere.

So, is it fair to say that I am not being unreasonable then?

It won't sink in if you have given in in the past. Treat him and the situation like a toddler having a tantrum.

Irishchic · 19/05/2010 11:41

Fab, yes right there too, bloody hell though, I would have thought it would have sunk in by now.

OldMac I reckon you are right.
But here's the thing..we have had this discussion ad nauseum, I have "communicated" to him over and over again what I need and nothing has changed, ...so this morning I just thought, no, not in the mood, dont feel like it and this is why.

He wasnt happy.

You have to just keep saying over and over again

I will only want sex with you when you .....

OldMacEIEIO · 19/05/2010 11:38

I may be wrong, but I predict the word 'communicate' will feature heavily in this thread
