Would sex everyday get a bit much

Been married for 11 years together for 14. My DH wants sex all the time. On holiday we managed everyday (when kids asleep). I find it too much when I’m working during the week I get tired and am not interested and I find it stressful having to firmly turn him down when I should be relaxing to get to sleep. I like sex but not when I’m tired or want to unwind from work and certainly not in the morning when there is loads to do before work
I think three or four times a week is enough
I find his keeping on is putting me off and making me feel sick, which is awful because I do love him. Any advice

Lol, I love sex, think my drive is reasonable, but after 11years with anyone, I'd say once a week would be more likely than once a day - he's unusual, so he should be the one compromising here and not pestering. Twice a week would be more than compromise on your part. 3 or 4 well, would be asking too much and way over -compromising .

My husband and I have sex pretty much every day, because we want to. So it's not "a bit much" for us. But different people have different libidos and you shouldn't ever feel pressured into sex. As long as you and your DH are happy, that's what matters.

Doesn't matter if it would be too much for others, it's to much for you and that's all that matters. I would generally be happy with every day but if me or my Dh initiates and the other isn't in the mood that's the end of it. No one should be pestered into sex.

At first yeah, a few times a day but after 11 years a few times a week would suffice.

Don’t have sex when you don’t want to. He has a hand, he can sort out his own penis.
