Albu re sex expectations

For context we've been together 15 years and have a 4 and 1 year old. I work 25 hours, dh is full time.

Dh has a low sex drive. I used to have a high drive but not anymore. We haven't had sex for a month.

I was on late shift yesterday but wfh from our bedroom. During my 30 minute break at 19.30 dh comes in and lies next to me on the bed. I'd done 8.5 work by then. He looks at me and says 'do you want some sausage'. Mate. No. He was put out amd didn't expect me to say no. I said I appreciate you initiating it but after sitting in a chair for over 8 hours with 2 hours left to go I, 1) needed a shower 2) sex was the last thing I wanted.

I said we could have a nice night tonight, it's a rare day we're off together. He then says 'oh there's a county cup final tonight, I want to go to that' so off he pops. He comes home and we go to bed. I come in the room second after going for a wee and he's just laying there naked. Like wtaf. I'm so sick of just feeling like something he has at his disposal when he gets the urge.

I love sex, I really do. But aibu to hold out for better sex given our life atm? It's just so clinical and like 0-100mph.

Some sausage? Confused

That expression alone would put me right off!

CovidVaccinatorintheMaking · 04/06/2021 22:56

Sausage? I’d have said yes please, with chips, peas and gravy

Raindropumbrella · 04/06/2021 22:56

Urgh gross. Yanbu

Sounds like you've got the ick

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 04/06/2021 23:02

Some sausage?! Jeez

Gottagobuffalo · 04/06/2021 23:03

I don't think it's the ick. I do want to I just want better at the same time.

Yes exactly everyone. Sausage. I'm actually vegetarian which makes it worse. Who said romance was dead ey.

I may have asked if he wanted his sausage battered if he asked me that!

Disclaimer I obviously wouldn't

Howshouldibehave · 04/06/2021 23:08

Yuck-I hope his foreplay is better than his way with words!

HerMammy · 04/06/2021 23:08

Does he always suggest sausage??
I’m not sure why your wtf at him in bed naked? does he need permission?
You sound like you don’t like him very much.

Gottagobuffalo · 04/06/2021 23:17

Ah no I don't mind him being naked in bed at all, he just never is unless it's to make his intent for wanting sex clear. He normally sleeps in boxers.

Nope, no foreplay since I can't even remember. He just wants to get on with it. This is why I've turned him down. I want the natural progression of just being together, then kissing, then foreplay, then sex.
Even just once in a while would be nice.

No, he doesn't usually ask for it or use that phrase, it's usually me that initiates.

Mismatched libidos ... it’s never a good place ... and I’d imagine most such relationships are doomed. You’ve possibly got much bigger problems.
