sexting for the long term relationship

my FI and i have been together for 5 1/2 years and have two children together, ... things have gotten a little stale and i would like to try to flirt with him when i'm at school/work but honestly everything just seems silly, he stays at home with our kids while i am at school and work and hates being 'climbed on' after a long day of involentary piggy back rides and toddler boogers 

any suggestions? 

Re: sexting for the long term relationship

  • Sounds like the man might deserve some time to himself. I would take the kids out (just you and the kids) and leave the man at home. Take the kids to the park or somewhere they can let out a lot of energy. Come home make dinner and put the kids to bed. Tell him to relax and take it easy not to worry about anything at all for the day. A little bit of time to himself will help and he will turn around don't worry.

    This could be it. Also, I would be honest with him and let him know that you feel like your sex life has cooled down a bit, and come to a solution together. Strangers on the internet can only speculate, but your FI will be able to tell you what is really on his mind. Also, I think you are on the right track with adding some flirty text messages during the day- but what about setting aside one night a week for a date night? Get a baby sitter, get dressed up, reignite the spark.

    I was going to suggest the same thing.  Everyone needs a break from their daily routine - my H is a SAHD since his work is seasonal, and I make sure he has time for just him on the weekends when I am not working.

    I would also suggest you plan a kid-free getaway, even if it is just having the grands take the kids for you and the two of you stay home.
