to feel insulted by a comment from DH

Hi, i'm a long time lurker, but this is my first post. 42, married, 2 kids, 1 of each flavour. contemplating writing a blog about said family (cos things have got a bit....weird?), but I digress... DH (see i'm using the terminology :-)) and I adjourned to the bedroom yesterday for a bit of 'afternoon delight'. We have an averagely active sex life, usually 3 or 4 times a week. Anyway, during the act, hubby says 'I forgot how horny you make me feel' considering we had sex the night before, i began to feel a bit insulted. we've been together 23 years, and yes, our bedroom antics have, shall we say, calmed down, but,still... I mean, if we hadn't done the deed for a while i could understand it.... am i being over sensitive? I'm not sulking, or angry with him, so i don't see the point of bringing it up. i just wanted to get other opinions on how you lot would deal with this... many thanking yous.

I wouldn't be offended at that. I'd take it as more of a 'every time we are together you never cease to delight me' type of comment.

I agree with above poster. Yabu

Surely he was complimenting you. Confused

FinallyHere · 22/06/2015 13:47

Absolutely, I'd take it as a massive compliment. Enjoy.

Morporkia · 22/06/2015 13:56

I did take it as a complement at first, but have also been feeling a bit ignored by him lately... i suppose i've been worrying for a while that he doesn't actually fancy me anymore and the 'i forgot' comment sort of reinforced that. anyway i have decided that when he comes in this afternoon i am going to jump all over him and give him something to remember, lol...

3 or 4 times a week doesn't sound like he's forgotten. It's just a way of phrasing it, I think.

Theonlylooninthevillage · 22/06/2015 14:03

I can see how you would be over thinking the comment but I wouldn't take it as an insult, just badly phrased.

I think you have an impressive sex life, dh and I are lucky is we dtd once every few months :/

Yes nothing to get irritated about IMO.

It sounds like he is really in to you. 3/4 times a week, pretty good going with two young children.

AdeleDazeem · 22/06/2015 14:10

Sounds like it was because you'd had sex the night before that he made the comment. Like, 'last night wasn't enough, I want you again'.

Surely that's great? Better than 'that was nice dear, that'll hold me for a while.'

Morporkia · 22/06/2015 14:12

Lawks! I would be blue in the face if we dtd once every few months... so would DH.
note to self stop whining about perceived slights. thanks guys..

Bloody stealth boast Grin

scarlets · 22/06/2015 14:44

He sounds like a nice guy to me.

BolshierAyraStark · 22/06/2015 15:00

Eh?? Surely it's more a compliment than an insult.

God what an arse

he is a nice guy scarlet.. atm i'm feeling a bit insecure.. i had an iud fitted a couple of months ago and i have put on about a stone in that time. added to that i've just finished my first year at uni, am worrying about finances, and although we still have an active sex life, when we're not being intimate we don't really make time to just talk and communicate the way we used to. my MIL described us as 'being in a bubble of love' a few years ago and i think i'm pining for that time :-( lolling at Maras2 with her stealth boast.. my best friend is a single mum, and dont tend to discuss sex lives with my other friends so i'm assuming everyone has about the same amount of sex i do... well i did until i read loony's post!
