Masturbating wife

195 replies

SomeGuy · 21/04/2009 19:40

My wife used to like regular (at least daily) sex (before we were married and had children, who are 6 and nearly 2). In the last few years not so often.

Anyway, I have bought her a few vibrators over the years. Sometimes she uses them after sex, I think she needs more clitoral stimulation than she otherwise gets (sometimes we have oral sex first instead).

I work on computer from home and tend to work most at night (after midnight) because there are fewer distractions. Anyway, last week came back from a long walk with family. She told me she was going to bed. Her phone went off so I brought it to her, she had got her vibrator out and was about to masturbate. I asked her what she was doing, anyway she wasn't keen to have sex, but eventually said told me to go and have a shower and then come back and have sex. I did so and came back, she said she was finished already and was only joking about sex after shower, and in any case we had sex only yesterday, and she was premenstrual and just wanted to use the vibrator to make her go to sleep. I got in a mood and left and worked till about 4am. The next morning she seemed to ignore the fact I was still trying to sleep, waking me up by leaving the bedroom door open. I made a point of ignoring her for several days.

Eventually we went away for the weekend on Friday, came back yesterday night on better speaking terms (we haven't actually discussed any of the aforementioned).

This afternoon, she told me she was tired, I said 'yes me too'. Her response to this obvious hint that we should go to bed, was to tell me she was going to bed, and not to forget to pick up our son from school. When I went in to our room later, she was asleep with vibrator under her pillow.

I didn't indicate that I'd noticed, but told her that I wasn't going to cook the dinner (she'd asked me to cook before she went to bed), and she's noticed that I'm in a bad mood with her. I don't object to her having a low sex drive (although obviously it would be better for us if she didn't), but I don't think it's reasonable to eschew sex with me for masturbation. Am I being unreasonable?

yes, don't take it back at all, as you're responding in a childish way yourselves with a total lack of empathy

which of course is different from sympathy -- I'm not talking about sympathy I'm talking about helpfulness

Wigglesworth · 22/04/2009 11:17

Erm is this thread a piss take?

screamingabdab · 22/04/2009 11:21

Threadworm Exactly!

boredwithmyoldname · 22/04/2009 11:23

this troll/bloke needs help

imagine he's real

what do you think he'll expect from his wife after being abused so soundly on this thread? he'll expect exactly the same

so it's hardly likely to make him try is it?

BonsoirAnna · 22/04/2009 11:24

LOL at the OP. Your DW doesn't have a low sex drive - you don't satisfy her sexually, so she resorts to vibrators. You need to improve your performance!

TrinityIsLovingHerLittleRhino · 22/04/2009 11:25

eschew sex with me for masturbation - ROFFLE

and 'I made a point of ignoring her for few days' - you twat

I haven't read the rest of the thread
I'm not going to because I think its a wind up
BUT if it isn't

dont be so immature as to ignore your wife (doesn't solve or help anything)

and masturbation and sex are two different things- get with it

boredwithmyoldname · 22/04/2009 11:25

and by "needs help"

I mean seriously needs help, he has no idea or maturity at all about his relationship

this ain't help

anyway i think he is a troll but a very weird one

howtotellmum · 22/04/2009 12:20

He needs help whether he is a troll- needs to get a life- or if he's real.

OP- where are you now? You've gone very quiet- Ihope it is because you are having a meaningful chat with your wife, or have found something more useful to do with your day if you are not genuine.

SomeGuy · 22/04/2009 12:32

I am here. We had sex last night and this morning (the latter interrupted by DD unfortunately), so I'm not feeling bitter any more.

Need to decide what to do with a shoulder of venison then take ds to tennis lesson after school. I will also try not to sulk in future (much easier to say that now mind you). We haven't discussed it, I guess it seems less relevant now.

BettySwollux · 22/04/2009 12:37

Oh come on!
Own up, who are you really?
Fab wind up.

Threadworm · 22/04/2009 12:39

Yes, the shoulder of venison is a detail too far. Very convincing otherwise.

lowenergylightbulb · 22/04/2009 12:41

I bet your wife could find something to do with the shoulder of venison....

howtotellmum · 22/04/2009 12:41

I do think you are a troll!

shoulder of venison? Most impressive- did you shoot it yourself?

""I guess it seems less relevant now.""
well, it might be for 48 hours- but if you are genuine, have you actually listened to anything that we have all said?

Just because you have had sex twice ( and therefore you are satisfied) does not mean that the problems have gone away, or that your wife is happy.

Sorry, but for me, this doesn't ring true- you sounded very agrieved yesterday, and yet today after sex you seem to think everything is fine again.

Have you asked your wife is she is now happy?

You need to try harder to convince us you are not atroll.

BTW, I think shoulder of venison is best either roasted or cubed and casseroled.

Threadworm · 22/04/2009 12:43

My deer, my deer, I purchase the finest bullets, read you wonderful recipes, I roast you with the most delicate herbs -- and yet still you are not happy with the meal!!

orangina · 22/04/2009 12:46

stroganoff. that's all I'm saying.

Obviously you are not a man.

Make sure it's fully cooked -- or it will be a little eschewy.

SomeGuy · 22/04/2009 12:50

She wasn't unhappy yesterday, it was me that was upset.

I'm thinking pot roast. We had mutton curry yesterday, it's a bit hot for a normal roast I think.

noddyholder · 22/04/2009 12:50

he sounds ok lots of over reaction here.the vibrator is no reflection on whether on not you satisfy her there are not many men who can do what they do!It is something totally seperate.maybe she is just knackered and wants a quick fix as it were. Venison lovely with mini roasties broccolli and a redcurrant jus!Bottle of nice red and the rabbit will be in the cupboard for a night or two

OSG!!! You guessed- I am not a man!

But that is the whole point- you are having problems because you are thinking all the time like a man, and not taking into account that your DW is a woman!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, have a read of the posts again- 2 shags does not equal a good marriage or a great sex life, when the issues you had are still there- just because she has had you and not her sex toys today does not mean all is well.

I am just SO exasperated with you now- no more posts from me.

Enjoy the venison.

Threadworm- you are my new MN crush

Threadworm · 22/04/2009 13:01

Ooh goody. I don't think I've been an MN crush yet.

Rhubarb · 22/04/2009 13:22

Well! I like to think that I gave some rather good advice on this thread earlier on, advice that has been completely eschewed by the OP!

I shall depart from this thread forthwith and converse no more!
