Dh, kids and I are on holiday with my sister, her husband and children. It’s been lovely. Villa abroad. The kids occupy themselves and the adults get to lounge around the pool/play tennis/take it in turns to go out and about. No one is stressed as it’s pretty easy and relaxed.

Anyway, today I saw DH being really great with the kids - he just sorted everyone out today with breakfast and making sure the kids had all the stuff they needed for today’s big activity. We were ahead of schedule and just milling around.

I was just wanting to show my dh some affection if you know what I mean. So to get a bit of privacy in the bedroom I told dh his mum (who lives abroad to us all) was FaceTimeing on the kids tablet in our room and I couldn’t bring it to him as it was low battery and needing charging. Anyway, he got really annoyed and rejected me when he found out I was making the phone call up and just trying to get a few mins with him alone. Am I crazy that most men would not care AT ALL that I white lied in this scenario.

We moved past it but I just feel really rejected

Imagine the scene - he's psyched up to talk 'live' to his mum & then gets jumped 😁 the two are opposite ends of the scale. He's thinking about his mum & you want a shag 😁😁

Honey..your mums on the phone..wink wink😉😉😉

yeah, bit weird.

That

He would be so confused and by the time I explained again "NO NOT YOU MUM, SEX! WITH ME!" we woulda both shriveled and dried up!

JayJayj · 13/08/2025 19:57

I wouldn’t have started to try and have sex with my husband by talking about his mother!

There are so many ways in which you could have got his attention to what you wanted without the fake call.

Also maybe he wasn’t in the mood?

SkylarFalls · 13/08/2025 19:59

Like he wouldn't get it

Mainly cause it's such an unlikely and weird premise for meet me upstairs for sex.

He would probably keep saying things like "but won't my mum hear if she's on a call here?, don't we have to say good bye and end the call?

And I would probably end up shouting (not aggressively) THERES NO CALL! NO. CALL. NO MUM! NO CALL!

he would be so confused

Thats a bit of a weird rouse. 🤣 It would have confused my husband. He would have got over it quickly though!

I’m certainly not saying “he is a man, I offered sex therefore he is obliged to reciprocate”. Not at all. I will turn down DH when I’m not in the mood. He is entitled to do the same.

I just thought him not being interested on account of a white lie was a little weird

But are you absolutely sure it was the fact that you white lied that led to him being not interested, though, or was it the fact that your ruse involved bringing his mother to mind? As a general rule it's best to keep direct blood relations out of all matters carnal - even in (most of) Lincolnshire that sort of thing is frowned upon these days.

TheMAFSfan · 13/08/2025 22:21

Maybe he’d already done it himself 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn’t necessarily refer to it as luring. If dh has said I’m not in the mood that’s fine but to take exception with the white lie was a bit odd.

i tried making eye contact with dh and directing his eyes upstairs but he just didn’t pick up on it.

Edited

Why not just say, I’ll meet you upstairs in a mo.

Horses7 · 13/08/2025 22:39

Yes - it’s the Mum link that he couldn’t get past !

So you got horny watching your DH with the kids and thought you'd lure him into sex with talk of his mother? Hmmm..

😂
