Keepin' it real about sex

Let help our H's keep it real about expectations in the bedroom. I know there are a lot of different situations -- some people are TTCing, which might skew the poll up, but then again some moms might skew the poll the other way.

The poll is anonymous! (I'll vote after one or two other people do)

[Poll]

Re: Keepin' it real about sex

  • I'll put a face to it and fess up!  I voted once every other week, and that's being generous.  We've had sex once this month, and that was me guilting him into it.  The man lacks a sex drive and it's starting to get on my nerves.  In fact, during one argument about it, I told him that I'm thankful we're doing the IUIs now because I don't have to force him to have sex with me.  I feel like I have more of a chance now because we're not missing my window because he "doesn't feel like it".  Like he has the hard or uncomfortable job in this situation.

    On a good note though, he's started a diet and I'm hoping that him losing weight will help his sex drive.

  • I kind of skewed the poll and maybe should not have responded. Being KU has really put a crimp in things. We have only had nookie once since the BFP, buuuuut I was put on pelvic rest two weeks ago so that will be factoring in as well. Poor dh, but I will say that I keep telling him once I feel better and get the green light we are SO getting back in the saddle and he looks a little freaked out. Why do men have to get so weird about pregnancy?? Ugh

  • Don't feel bad, we're an every other week couple too.  Part of it is our work schedules and being tired after work, cooking dinner, etc. 

    Hope the diet helps increase his drive, Tania.

  • Pooks, I wish my husband was that way when I was preggo.  He was more you know what then, then usual I felt, lol! He said it was because he was getting it less. But we are back into the every other day category.

    Wow I am jealous, good for you guys! Every time I tell him some 'developmental' fact about the baby (or he reads it) he gets less interested saying random things like it weirds him out, or it just can't be good. Tongue Tied

  • I will put a face also to me.  We are once a monthers and that is generous.  Living with my parents has really put a crimp in things.  Though we are trying to take advantage of any possible time now.  I know our relationship is much better when we are having more sex.  I know/hope when we move out finally things will go back to the way they were when we were every other weekers at least.
  • I am glad i am not the only one who only does it every other week... if that:) I just dont have any energy for it... sometimes if DH is lucky he might get lucky.

  • We usually do on the weekends. I get home late from tutoring and after we eat and I clean up I am tired. DH works long days too so weekends are our time.

  • I will admit that we are one a weekers, maybe twice. We always tend to do it on the weekends. We are just too tired after work, and the gym.
    I heart Ben!!

    Jess I'm jealous. 

    Pooks, if it makes you feel better as my belly got bigger Andrew was more not into it at all. I remember having a crying fit one night because I was tired of him rejecting me every time I tried something. 

    We are usually about 2 times a week on average. These past two weeks have been bad though, only once. I had a stomach bug and then some flu like symptoms and then a miserable migraine that required pain killers. That just wasn't in Andrew's favor. It's not a lack of want with us, its a lack of energy by the time the day is done. Xander goes a 150% until his bed time at 9, and by the time we put him to bed I'm exhausted.
