AIBU regarding sex

My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have sex on a regular basis, probably at least 2-3 times a week on average (there are times when it's everyday, other times less than once a week). If I have had a long day, I'm tired, sore and on my period, AIBU to not have sex or give my husband a blowjob if he desires it? My husband thinks I'm being unreasonable as sex is his love language. He also thinks that despite the above, we should still be intimate because it is for both of us, not just him (even in this scenario). AIBU to think he is being unfair?

Abused women often protect their men and make excuses for them. He may be great in those other areas but it it doesn't outweigh how he's shit.

People who do bad things aren’t Disney villain characters walking around wearing black capes with warts on their faces and oozing evilness.

They are people who can show many sides and be nice sometimes and have good qualities. But none of that excuses the shitty qualities.

Thank you for your replies. Just to be fair, my husband is a good man, he is the breadwinner and does a lot for his family. This is the main thing we argue about but the distance caused by it can be prolonged, painful and in my view, unnecessary.

all people are ‘good’ some of the time. Even murderers.

he is not in any way shape or form a ‘good man’ and I am so sorry for you that you don’t know this.

Being the bread winner and doing things for his family "which he should do anyway"does not entitle him to on demand sex acts from you.

A lot of serial killers are also breadwinners and do a lot for their family. But they are still serial killers.
