Is this the end because DH hates our sex life

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'll give it a go

Dh and I have had a massive argument as he hates our sex life. Says its boring. He could do so much better elsewhere etc and it's all my fault

In all honesty sex isn't the important thing to me. Would rather have a cuddle and fall asleep like that. We do generally do the same things most of the time. He tries to introduce new things (toys, porn etc) all of which I'm not interested in

We have 2 young children, both work full time and have busy lives

He moans if I am wfh and he has finished work before me (works 6-1 most days) and I won't come out of the office space to join him in bed

Moans that during the week we don't get a lot of time to do anything when he's up at 5am and u don't have to be up until 6am

Constantly tells me I'm fat and he coukd do so much better, the kids (9 & 3) have also started making comments about me being fat as well.

Just feeling very lost right now

Thank you everyone for the replies.

You were right. It's a dh problem

Things came to a head the other day. Tried to talk about the argument we had the day before turned into an even bigger argument where I was shouted at. Told I'm useless parent. Useless at everything. Not trying hard enough to change. Went on for an hour at least. Accumulated on dh standing about, throwing stuff (didn't hurt Mr and kids in bed)

This was Sunday. Been thinking all week but I know it's over.

Just need to work through it all now. No idea where to start.

No one deserves to be treated like that OP.

Do you have real life family, friend support to help you get out of there?

My parents are local and know some of whats going on

I'm not leaving the house. It's in both of our names and I put more down as a deposit over the years (I know technically that doesn't count for anything and it'll be split 50/50) but it's the principle

I need to speak to a solicitor or someone to get advise I guess

Yeah, that sounds very sensible.

get your ducks in a row, and seek legal advice.

I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Yes he’s revolting and you’re doing the right thing. You absolutely deserve a life free from this POS hassling you for sex and shouting at you.

Crikeyalmighty · 19/03/2025 18:51

Honestly @Obviouslyclueless he’s clearly sex obsessed and needy and the fact he calls you fat etc is truly awful - he thinks he can do better so I would let him get on with it- clearly going to be a special kind of person who wants to hang around in the day being pestered for exciting sex when working etc!!

First post I had some sympathy towards your husband - by the time I got to this little nugget:

"However this does mean the second I show any signs of movement on a Saturday morning DH is there 'waiting'" - this doesn't sit right with me.

Sex isn't a thing you 'give'. It's a thing you share. For the sake of your marriage your husband needs to remember this

What part of him calling the OP fat made you feel sympathy for him?
