To sometimes get sick of being nagged for sex?

please tell me I'm not the only one.

Roughly 2 weeks every month I'm very up for a shag 3 or 4 times a week, but then getting towards Aunt Flo's visit I get more and more tired, achey, grumpy and just don't fancy it. Then during blob week it just seems mankey.

So basically DH has roughly two weeks of wayhay, then it all goes a bit flat for the next two.

We've been together donkeys years, and he's truly lovely in every other way, and does try to do extra to help when I'm getting PMTish. But however much he tries to help me get more rest,etc, it doesn't make me feel like it. He knows this and it's always been the way, so why does he still try it on and moan that he's frustrated during those times?

It usually ends up in a row at some point and it's like ground hog day, always going over extactly the same argument.

So AIBU thinking he should sort himself out until I'm a willing partner again, rather than trying to nag me into doing something I'm not up for?

It really pisses me off that this is one sticking point in an otherwise really good relationship Sad

I really appreciate all the replies and suggestions. And I'm thinking now that tonight, despite me being in my 'up for it' phase, rather than just jump on him when the children are all safely in bed Grin, I am going to have a conversation about what usually starts to happen in a week or so's time, and what we can do about it....
