Weird Emotions...

Hey ladies,

 I usually hang out over on the Destination Wedding board, since my fiance and I are currently planning our wedding for January 2014 in Mexico!

 Here's the story... my fiance works away from home as a truck driver. We're both young, fit and very sexually attracted to eachother. When he's away we send photos, talk about our fantasies, all to help the other satisfy themselves when we're apart.

 When he comes home, he immediately wants sex. Which I can understand because we've now been talking about it for a week, and I want it too. I just get these weird emotions bubbling up. It's like I'm so lonely when he's not there, that when he is there it's overwhelming and distracting. I can't get my head in the proper mode to really get into the sex the way I do when we're together more frequently or for a longer period of time.

He's obviously not forcing me to have sex with him when he gets home, I want sex too. Just wondering how to get myself into that mind set and not feel too emotionally overwhelmed to have good, satisfying sex.

 

Hopefully that wasn't too much rambling!

    They are simply wired differently than men.:)

    It's great when you want a quickie -- to just get yours and go...:) but most of the time you're in the mood for foreplay.

     I think maybe we just need some "face time" before sex. Even taking a showe together and "reconnecting" a bit be

  • I'm like this. I need to sit holding his hand our with my feet in his lap and have really close connected time to reconnect before I'm ready to tear his clothes off. We get there, but I need that face time first. I think it's normal. Try telling him that
  • I understand totally where you're coming from. My husband is also a driver and is gone 3-6 weeks at a time.  I don't handle quick change well and need a bit of an adjustment period.

    His most recent home time was that he delivered early this

  • You also might want to dial back the sexual messages and calls. Keep things a bit lighter and see if that helps.
