Do you like your husband more when you are ovulating?

Random thought. My marriage isn't great, nothing dramatic but we generally have a lot of tensions, I've been thinking about counselling. We manage ok as a tag team / co-parents. We've stopped kisses etc. My default emotion is annoyance or resentment. Anyway husband has made a couple of light hearted advances and for some reason today I'm minded to respond, be affectionate etc, and what do you know, have also noticed I'm ovulating. Is this coincidence?

Yeah, we're lunar :)

Sadoldbagpuss · 25/09/2018 17:00

No I luves him much more when ovulating, two weeks later he drives me nuts 🤣🤣

Themidnightcircus · 25/09/2018 17:02

We seem to only have sex when I'm ovulating. Usually its him making the advances so it must be some sort of natural sense
.. he certainly wouldn't know otherwise.

JennyOnAPlate · 25/09/2018 17:07

Well it seems to be the only time of the month i want to have sex with him Confused

IJustLostTheGame · 25/09/2018 17:17

I like a bit of him more.....

ShoutyMcShoutFace · 25/09/2018 18:20

Glad it's not just me. Also having inappropriate thoughts about DS swimming teacher who must only be early 20s. Shock

Yep definitely. I’m due my period tomorrow and he irritates me just by breathing next week I will be all over him like the proverbial cheap suit until after ovulation then he will bug me again.
Even he notices this is the pattern. I do love him all the time but there are clear times in my cycle that I love him even more.

10bobandapickledegg · 25/09/2018 18:26

Yes. I am a different person pre ovulation Smile

ihatethecold · 25/09/2018 18:29

Yes definitely.
Sad really.

Myusernameisunique · 25/09/2018 18:30

I get this too! I have pain when ovulating as well and there a sure fire way to get rid of it.....Grin nature is such an amazing thing!

ShoutyMcShoutFace · 25/09/2018 18:35

I was aware of him being extra infuriating a few days before my period. I've never realised it works the other way too. I'm now wondering how much of a hypocrite I would be if I tried it on Hmm

Now I think about it...this explains an awful lot! Feeling the love for DH at the moment but two weeks ago I could have smothered him in his sleep.

I do have a tendency to blame him and his "rage" for any quarrels we have. But maybe I should just check the calendar before dumping all the responsibility in his lap...

sabrinathethirtysomethingwitch · 25/09/2018 20:24

Yes!! Grin

theoriginalpineappletart · 25/09/2018 20:51

Yes. I even think he smells different.

Electrascoffee · 25/09/2018 20:53

I'm not married but have arranged hook ups when ovulating and then couldn't be bothered when the day rolled around.

Thatstheendofmytether · 25/09/2018 20:53

Yup for a few days there all I wanted was sex, couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. We have a slighy strained relationship. Have never noticed it before now.

Thatstheendofmytether · 25/09/2018 20:54

I also felt as though I liked him more not just about sex 😂. I wonder if I was insulating when I first met him 😂

C0untDucku1a · 25/09/2018 20:57

Lol ive actually said this to my dh recently. I have no patience for his behaviour when im not ovulating.

I wonder if this is why divorce rates aRe now increasing for those approaching retirement. No longer ovulating, so no week every month of enjoying their husband’s company!

Dead lord.

dudsville · 25/09/2018 20:58

Yes, and sadly I notice all men more. V frustrating. I also look my best at this time. Hate that our bodies fluctuate so much!

Thatstheendofmytether · 25/09/2018 21:14

Insulating? Ovulating 🤣

fantasmasgoria1 · 25/09/2018 21:31

I wouldn’t even know when I am ovulating 😂

Sadoldbagpuss · 25/09/2018 22:54

It does worry me who I will actually be after menopause?!

LBOCS2 · 25/09/2018 22:57

I must be the odd one out. I'm extremely irritable around ovulation, so mainly I want him to piss off and leave me alone. I like him quite a lot more the rest of the month.

PlinkPlink · 25/09/2018 23:03

Guess I'm lucky that I only get 2 days out of the month where I feel annoyed and irritated by everything including inanimate objects. I particularly feel aggrieved that men don't have to put with menstruation, tampons, pads, liners, ibuprofen, insatiable hunger etc.

However, I must agree. At ovulation times, I'm like a woman possessed. Constantly trying to jump my OH (not that he minds 😂)... My sex drive goes fucking mad!! It's all I can think about!

Rainatnight · 25/09/2018 23:05

I'm mostly gay but definitely notice I fancy men more when I'm ovulating.
