Can you ask your husbands/boyfriends a question for me?

And settle a discussion with me and DP.

Ignore feminist principals for a minute

“If you had to choose between coming home from work to an immaculate house, dinner cooked for you, washed and ironed clothes and a lovely pair of smiley happy kids but NO sex ever again OR you can come home to a messy house, DIY dinner, a pile of dirty clothes and you have to sort the kids out but you get the ride of your life every single night for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Don't have to ask, he'd choose the latter

NoParticularPattern · 29/05/2020 20:48

We’d both choose the latter. No doubt about it. Tidy house is great but no sex?! Nah. Not for us thanks.

Thegreymethod · 29/05/2020 20:49

Yeah don't have to ask, it'd be number 2. Number 1 sounds good to me though!

Raera · 29/05/2020 20:49

Latter

DrDreReturns · 29/05/2020 20:50

The sex. I can do the other stuff myself, I can't shag myself!

Takingontheworld · 29/05/2020 20:50

Not even gonna ask. He gets the first and definitely wants the 2nd. .

Sex life is dead thanks to those smiley kids.

Justmuddlingalong · 29/05/2020 20:52

DP says No1. He says he'd get bored with having the ride of his life every night.

GindependantWoman · 29/05/2020 21:11

My poor DP gets neither. Poor me too i suppose.

He says the latter. Surprised me. Oops.

TerfTerfTerf · 29/05/2020 21:14

My twat of a DH used to dream of the 2nd but even when he got it, he still did the 'disappointed face' if I didnt do the 1st. Eventually that face made me never want to do either. Be careful what you wish for..Sad

Myneighboursnorlax · 29/05/2020 21:16

Second without a doubt

Mylittlepony374 · 29/05/2020 21:17

He says sex. I'm not surprised.

FecktheBoss · 29/05/2020 21:18

He said option number 2, but not every night, he's not sure his knees are up to it anymore 😉

wedding2021 · 29/05/2020 21:21

Number 2 without a doubt, he didn't even think about it for a second. I'm glad he picked that one GrinGrin

NewLevelsOfTiredness · 29/05/2020 21:24

Honestly when my girlfriend was pregnant with no.3 she really couldn't do anything but the hormone lottery landed on "horny all the time" so I pretty much lived No. 2 anyway.

VenusTiger · 29/05/2020 21:25

I don't need to ask my DH OP.
Here's my thoughts though - the first would be like living with your mom and the second your partner.

VenusTiger · 29/05/2020 21:26

*although, I might add, I do cook every night etc. etc. but my house is a bit of a tip at the moment tbf!

underneaththeash · 29/05/2020 21:49

DH and I would choose 1.
Who wants to live in a shithole just for 20 minutes of sex?

Dollywilde · 29/05/2020 21:54

He picked the latter but I’m only pregnant with DC1 so let’s see whether he’d pick the same in a few months time!

SciFiScream · 29/05/2020 21:57

I asked my DH. I thought No 1. He said No1 because he doesn't think he'd have the energy to have the ride of his life every single night!!!

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 29/05/2020 21:57

I don’t even need to ask him. The latter obviously!

He’d order a takeaway, doesn’t “see” mess Hmm and when I start tidying he says “don’t worry about it. Leave it and we’ll do it tomorrow”

He also doesn’t see a problem with rewearing his t shirt even if it has gravy down the front Grin.

In reality if it was a serious choice - he’d probably chuck some money at it and get a cleaner to do all the housework to make sure I had the time and energy for the other stuff.

DrDreReturns · 29/05/2020 21:58

Meeeee!

@VenusTiger

Yes this! For me the one thing that differentiates a primary relationship from any other is the sex. Pretty much everything else you can get from friends, family, JustEat etc Grin
PrawnSacrifice · 29/05/2020 22:01

I'd take either, but if only one were available, the latter.

ShowOfHands · 29/05/2020 22:01

DH says it's a stupid question and what he wants doesn't exist in a vacuum.

CrazyToast · 29/05/2020 22:02

I knew he would but he said 2 and wonders why anyone would choose 1. He's not the tidest of chaps. I would love an immaculate house but would choose amazing sex over it!
