Being refused

[hamsterwheel]

I have offered up sex to my husband on many occasions (inudinv tonight) only for my my offer to be refused. Should I take this personally? We are both 43 with a 5 year old who doesn't always sleep so well, but even so, a lady wants to feel wanted right?!!

what is his reasoning for.... declining ? does he give one...

A man is just as entitled to turn down sex as a woman. I often turn down sex with my husband, it's nothing personal, just don't feel up for it. Unless there's been a significant change in your intamvy recently I wouldn't See it as a problem. Have you spoken to him about it? If he doesn't feel like sex is there other ways he could make you feel wanted?

Have you asked him op,before asking here?

Have a conversation with him about it like a grown up.

Anyone can refuse sex for any reason, it has to be something you both want at that moment in time for it to happen.

Everyone had the right to say no to sex.

I agree with having a conversation. Doesn't have to be a confrontation. Could just be something of this sort: "I notice you turn down sex at times. I am concerned that something could be wrong. Do you mind if I ask if everything's alright?" This way you're not putting any blame. It could be any number of things. If it's a consistent thing my first recommendation would be for him to have a complete check up. Sometimes physical things can cause a decrease in libido.

Would it be an issue if you turned down sex? No.
He is allowed to jot consent to sex for whatever reasons. As are you.
