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?

Husband says he just wouldn't come home! Party pooper 😆

WhatAWonderfulDay · 29/05/2020 22:59

DH says alternate days for each option. Greedy!!

Sparklingplasters · 29/05/2020 23:02

I would love to come home from my massively stressful job to a cooked meal, sorted out kids. I’m great at masterbation. However I’m a woman

GreenGreenGrassofSloane · 29/05/2020 23:03

Dh has gone to bed but I think he'd say No1 - ride of his life every night - that sounds like our first year together - it was great but we were 20 years younger - now we just crave a good night's sleep.

bigfootfred · 29/05/2020 23:04

Hubby says it's not a fair question he's a neat freak haha but also every night is abit Mcuh lol

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 29/05/2020 23:06

He just grinned and said "who with?" Angry he's very pleased with himself for that. Good job we have rule of funny in this house.

When pressed, he's going for option 2.

Jashartsx · 29/05/2020 23:08

@ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun 😂😂 what a cheek. You should’ve responded with the MN classic ‘did you mean to be so rude?’ 😂 he would’ve been stunned into silence at such wit

SugarMiceInTheRain · 29/05/2020 23:08

I'm not asking him, but he'd definitely choose the former. I'd choose the latter. No matter how hard I might try, the former is impossible.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 29/05/2020 23:09

Stupid question. You couldn't have 'the ride of your life' every night.

Plus, ffs, it's not a fucking binary. Women aren't sex or cleaning machines. We're individuals. With thoughts and feelings. Anyone who could ask that question has a problem.

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 29/05/2020 23:13

@Jashartsx I replied with "you would say that to your wife on her due date?" To which he replied "yep and you can absolutely quote me on there" 😁 He's a sweetheart really.

donquixotedelamancha · 29/05/2020 23:15

He just grinned and said "who with?"

:-)

I would choose option 2 myself.

bonsaidragon · 29/05/2020 23:16

#1 as he's obsessed with tidiness

SecondTimeCharm · 29/05/2020 23:19

haven’t asked him but i know he’s choose the same as me; 1! sex not huge priority to either of us but as a sahm and a wfh dad our home and surroundings are very important to us and happy children make for a happy life!

Fckingfuming · 29/05/2020 23:21

He said the rogering sex, he doesn't mind helping out around the house.

NumbsMet · 30/05/2020 00:02

He said 1 Blush

SimplySteveRedux · 30/05/2020 00:17

As a man, the latter, but then I always pulled my weight with children and housework.

Stegasaurusmum · 30/05/2020 00:47

He said if he did the cleaning, cooking, keeping children happy, would I give him option 2 every night. Deal. 🤔😁

MouseholeCat · 30/05/2020 02:08

The sex one. He couldn't really care less about the state of the house and DIY dinner would mean him eating junk food every day which would delight him.

Pinkypie86 · 30/05/2020 06:01

2nd for mine.. Although he did ask if he could have the first but, still have blow jobs!! Blush
I've been too good to him.

Modestandatinybitsexy · 30/05/2020 06:06

DH puts up with the latter without the sex atm so I'd be confident in saying he'd definitely choose 2 Grin

Elephantonascooter · 30/05/2020 06:13

My dh asked if there was a middle ground where the clothes are in the process of being washed and the kids are happy but he has to do the rest before a mutually enjoyable shag?
Fair play to him, he's very fair!

SoberCurious · 30/05/2020 07:11

I would love number 1 / DH would love number 2.

LowBatt · 30/05/2020 07:34

I bloody knew I was right

DP went for the former, I thought most men would go for the latter.

FWIW, he’s option 1, I’m 2

doughnutmuffin · 30/05/2020 08:22

Obviously 2. OP didn't say a dirty house but a messy house, IMO there's a difference. Also in no.2 the children are specifically unhappy just in no.1 they're happy. And personally a relationship without sex which has previously had sex involved is not something I could live with never mind my husband! No.2 sounds much more like real life (ok not every night) and enjoyable than living like a Stepford
Wife thanks, and my DH would definitely agree

Mucklowe · 30/05/2020 08:29

The first option. He's a major clean freak.
