So dh is in the shielding category. I still have to go out for groceries etc so we are supposed to practice social distancing at home.
In all honesty we are not totally following it as I am still preparing his meals and fetching drinks etc as he can't carry stuff. But being very careful.
Anyway obviously all the kids personal care falls to me. 2 have additional needs plus housework etc etc so at weekends I am super busy and he can relax as his condition prevents him from doing much.
Anyway the wtaf moment came when I received a booty call text.
Obviously I know we cant carry on like this so looking at options for home delivery etc
but tbh this feels wrong on two levels.
One why the hell would you risk you health for sex.
Plus if you are too ill to help at all around the house than surely you are too ill for sex.
By hellp around the house I medn naybe washing up a few places or clearing up your mess.

I dont know what I think. I'm n one hand... eeeeew... but there's again if he's bored and lonely and in pain and fancies his wife bouncing on his balls for a bit then that would be a lot easier for him than working around the house and with the kids....

Don't you fancy a bonk OP? I'm on my own with my kids and I'd love a willing man to beckon me from upstairs right now 🤗

Trust me, when you are in pain with RA, the last thing you want is your wife bouncing on your balls. The mind may be willing, but the dangly bits certainly aren't.

My dh has ankylosing spondylitis - which gives him quite a lot of back pain, rib pain and neck pain. I don’t think he is in a really high risk group though- at least we assume he isn’t!

He does get sore doing things but he just gets on most of the time - I have no idea how this compares to arthritis - tbh he had the diagnosis a couple of years ago and other than painkillers we have ignored it.
