Possibly TMI or too personal but I have a sex question!!!!

Witchys_Woman · August 2010

I can't believe I am writing this and might DD but I am going to tear out my hair. Our sex life has come to a virtual stand still/very quick before work "well hellos". It's a pain and I know we both want it but we just seem to keep missing the boat on each other. We've been working oppisite shifts for almost a month and by the time we see each other we're exhausted or catching up on chores and junk. It's brutal. How do you make your sex life a priority?

There's no harm in scheduling it. Make a "date night" at a set time that's not just all about sex. Make it about connecting.

I am no help at all. ?DH and I have literally had sex one time all summer. ?Poor guy. ?:( ?

You are not alone! DH and I used to work opposite schedules and when we were together we were totally drained. We tried to schedule date nights, or at least have sex every Saturday. It's crazy to think about 5 years ago when we got together and basically had sex every day of our lives. Now we are the old married couple who would rather snuggle on the couch and watch bad cop shows haha.

With gaining weight, I lost interest in sex. I am trying to lose weight and have in turn had a sexual peak. Maybe try getting new lingerie or a sexy outfit/shoes to get you in the mood. So something good for yourself and you will be more likely to be "in the mood" when the time comes!

H and I are on complete opposite schedules and have been for months now. He goes to school f/t AND works f/t, so he's in class all day then goes straight to work until late at night. I do not get to see him at all Mon-Sat. I work f/t AND go to school part time, so I'm at work all day M-F (and sometimes Sat too) then twice a week I'm in class and don't get home until 10pm or later. We truthfully see each other ONE day a week on Sundays and that's it. We've just gotten to the point where if we want to spend any time together, we know it has to be on Sundays. And since that's also the only day we're both home, its the only day a week we can reconnect. Yeah it sucks, but we know things will change soon. I agree w/ pp that its not a bad thing to schedule time together to reconnect (whatever that entails for you). We have to and its truthfully the only we can work our schedules out for now. I feel for you but trust me if you put the effort into it, you can do it. GL!

DH and I have luckily never been on completely opposite schedules, but we have gone through peaks and valleys in our sex life. I'm also not a big fan of "just making yourself do it" like some women's magazines recommend.

I think the date night idea is great if you can fit it in, or how about some nice lingerie to put yourself in the mood? Sometimes a good, erotic story or some p0rn can get you in the mind set before DH gets home, and a good sexy text to him can prepare him too .

Sorry, pregnancy had made me a complete horn-dog .

Sorry, no help here. Either we're too tired, on different schedules, or would rather have a few beers (which means DH is kind of a no-show). I think it's just a phase, and am not too worried....
