Husband sulking over sex

DH and I haven't been having sex regularly, our marriage is suffering at the moment for a few reasons. He made moves earlier whilst our DC2 was napping but due DC2 needing to wake up or else not sleep until an ungodly hour tonight, I said we should wait until this evening. DC2 was finally asleep at 9ish and I go downstairs to find DH is snoring his head off on the sofa. He has a sleep condition amongst other things that have put a strain on our marriage and although I admit I have my faults too, I really made an effort tonight. I nudged him on the sofa multiple times to wake him which roused him and he fell asleep again. I watched some TV and just before midnight, for the last time I tried again then I'd had enough and came to bed. He finally woke up and came upstairs wanting to make small talk in an effort to have sex and I told him to leave me alone as I was annoyed about the situation.

He left annoyed and has gone to sleep on the sofa. AIBU? Should I have just accepted that tonight was the night even if he woke up hours later?

My (now ex) H used to do this.

He actually told me there was something wrong with me and that I needed to go and see my GP because I didn't want to have sex with him.

We've been separated nearly a year. I still feel physically repulsed when I think back to how he used to treat me.

You deserve better. Thanks

There is nothing less sexy than a man sulking about you not having sex with him. It's like a magic fanny dehydration spell.

He needs to be doing things that make him sexy to you if he wants you to want sex with him. Falling asleep on the sofa and then whining = probably not your sex trigger.

@ThePlantsitter VAGINUS DEHYDRATUS!!! Grin

Joking aside, my ex used to be a complete disgusting slob and still expect sex. Then wonder why I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon. Think wearing the same underwear for three days, showering twice a week (manual job), not washing his hands after going to the loo, leaving shite marks in the toilet, expecting me to pick up his dirty stinking clothes. Fucking disgusting excuse for a man.

If his sleep condition is sleep apnea, then if untreated, it can be extremely debilitating. Yabu for sulking about sex, but he is bu for not getting it treated.
