Hi all, just advice wanted. Row started with partner. It’s due to me wanting less sex per week than him. I explained that on occasion I do try and get myself in the mood even when I don’t feel like it. He’s taken this as an affront. Saying I’ve made him feel not attractive etc as I “ am forcing myself “
to have sex with him. He then explained to me that he’s been keep a list of things I do around the house of things that annoy him ( he’s hugely house-proud). Examples are not emptying bin regularly enough etc. to be clear , the house is very tidy and organised and clean etc. he says he wants to end it. Otherwise we get on well and have a laugh etc/ shared interests. Any advice I’d appreciate

He can’t force you to have sex, he should respect your decision and want to find a way to work forward. He may also feel rejected and unattractive with your decision, feeling like he isn’t good enough for you so he may be feeling pretty upset right now. He shouldn’t be saying to you to force yourself but maybe he’s meaning that it should come naturally.
It sounds like he was trying to hurt you by saying those things. Arguments shouldn’t jump to someone saying they want to end it- that’s very immature.
I think you need to decide what you want from this relationship. You don’t seem happy, he seems to have a higher sex drive than you.
It might be best to take a break from each other to see how you really feel about your relationship. It will also help you figure out living arrangements. Failing that, it might just be for the best to end the relationship and tell him honestly how you feel.

Let him end it! Who wants to be controlled over the
cleaning? Also, it’s normal not
to always be in the mood!!
