Re: I guess she didn't like the reality check she got...
DD...
EDIT: I discovered this is not the one who was cheating so what I originally wrote here no longer applies.
No. This is the one who's husband works too much and doesn't boink her enough as much as she wants, and won't let her drive his truck. i thought it might get interesting so I kept it open in another tab.
Here's the OP
First off I have been married to DH 6 months and been together for total of 2 1/2 years. He works long shifts 3 days a week then 4 days a week and works night shift and work overtime (common with holidays and stuff thats going on at work also has a hour drive to and from work) so he is always exhausted when he gets home. When he is off of work he is always trying to catch up on sleep. He will sleep for 13 hours some days. When he is home and not sleeping he likes to be out doing stuff and feel like he isn't just wasting his day. He hates laying around. Well his sex drive has slowly declined over the year and I know he is tired but what can I do? I feel like this is unhealthy for us not to be able to have sex as much as I would like. He is extremely cuddley and loving but Im I reading into it too much? I have tried talking to him and trying to initiate it more but he just says he is too tired and always falls asleep later.
Any suggestions? Sometimes he says he doesn't know and he just tells me he is tired and I think he is sick of saying he is tired. I do bring it up cause I feel like its something that needs to be discussed and a person close to me said for a man its a hard thing to discuss because they shouldn't have a low sex drive and it might come off as Im implying he is not a man or something?
Also I find myself constantly comparing myself to other marriages and how "happy" they look. A close friend of mine said "Omg my brother and SIL are so in love after she birthed her first baby they thought they were pg with their second right after" Which is sick cause I know your still bleeding at that point. ick. I find myself saying marriage should be perfect and think it should and I get mad about little things when I know marriage were going to have fights and disagree. Some one give me a reality check.
Here's a follow she posted immediately after the OP
example uno::
Dh took my car to work to save money on gas. I told him I was maybe going to go out with a close friend. He insisted she should pick me up because I don't have anything to drive. Well he did leave his brand new truck there but continued to say he didn't want me to put the first scratch in it. He has had it for 4 months and really? its a nice truck worth 60,000 but I felt that was a low blow. He realized he was wrong and did appoligize and said he felt like crap and it was uncalled for. But I couldn't get over the fact that that was his first reaction? I feel like its just a materlistic thing and should not mean THAT much. Is this valid or Im I nuts ?
