Ladies I need your help...
hello Ladies...Im new to this bored and only married about 120 days. I came to this bored because I have noticed that our sex sife has taken a dive dramatically. Please understand that part of the problem is that we work opposite schedules Sun-Thurs. So we only see one another when we are passing the keys off to one another. (he works nights-I works days) On Friday when I get home from work he is still sleep. By the time I am ready for bed he is wide awake. Then on Saturday when I wake up ready for the day he is sleep because he just went to bed. I am loosing MY MIND!!!
I am in need of some spicy suggestions to spark things up a bit. Something out of the ordinary would be great. TIA
Re: Ladies I need your help...
Plan a weekend to actually be together and awake at the same time.
What about a nap instead of a complete 8 hours of sleep when you are both home? Maybe then you would have time for sex and could fall asleep together afterwards.
Plan a weekend getaway when you could both be awake at the same time.
What about a nap once in a while instead of a full night of sleep when you are both home? Maybe then you would have time for sex and could fall asleep together.
Psst...that's board. You are bored with your sex life; this is a board for those with Sex and Romance Q's and A's.
Date nights are a good suggestion. So is taking advantage of the moments when the both of you are around -- tell him you're headed to the shower and he can very kindly join you. Or you jump in with him. Let nature take its course.;)
What you have to do on opposite schedules (as its happened to DH and I a TON!) is some days, you stay up way too late and some days he stays up way too late. MAKE the time to spend with each other. Sleep is important (I'm a nurse, I don't want to kill my patients for lack of sleep) but so is your relationship. I used to end up "napping" with him when he was sleeping and him doing the same thing with me. Its nice to be skin to skin in bed...
We like to drink wine and watch movies and get handsy.
Maybe out to eat a for a fun breakfast (since I'm night shift thats dinnerish) or a dinner (for a night shifter's breakfast) and fool around after eating.
Other than that, we didn't get out of the ordinary too much because one of us was feeling the need to sleep in the next few hours. But everyone stays "up late" on the "weekends." For night shifters up late may be til 1pm or 2pm or something. And your weekends could be Monday and Tuesday. But breakfast can be super sexy...strawberries, mimosas, sex in the daylight.

I second the idea of taking naps. Or alternately, when you come home on Friday and he's still asleep, slip into bed with him and wake him up with your mouth ;P
My man and I had this issue for a while, and one of the PPs is right -- sometimes you're going to have to stay up later than you'd like, sometimes he's going to have to stay up later than he'd like. You've only been married a few months; you shouldn't be at the point where you'd rather sleep than spend time with your husband (yet)!
