How does your H/SO act when

The two of you havent had sex in a while?  (your while could be a month, while others' while could be a week...so I'm keeping it vague).

 

H tends to get short with me and make passive aggressive comments.  Like, I'll be in the bathroom brushing my teeth and he will say something under his breath as he's leaving the room about it.  Or he will just generally have a look of pissiness that needs no explanation--when the man needs to get some he's not too good at hiding it.   I'm getting really annoyed at him being childish about it.  Most of the time we are on the same time frame sexually, so this isnt a constant issue.  But when it is, he's a bear to be around.

Re: How does your H/SO act when

  • He just whines that we never have sex anymore. 

    The longest the man has gone without sex since we first started having it is probably three weeks a couple of times in the last 12 years, because I was on antibiotics for one reason or another and they negated my birth control.

  • He gets a little more "touchy/feely", but other than that I don't think he acts differently. Honestly, I'm the one who gets cranky when it's been a while.

    Ditto.  

  • H gets kind of sad and distant.  I think for him it is less about wanting the sex (though he definitely does) and more about that being an important expression of intimacy for him.  I think he honestly feels unloved when we go for a long time without.  He is such a physical person and I am totally not, so it is hard for us to strike a balance a lot of the time.

    Oh god, I am your husband.  I KNOW that's ridiculous and it's not a lack of love, but if we have a fight or something, I positively need that to feel like everything is ok and we're back to normal.

  • H and I just aren't seeing eye to eye on sex since I got pregnant.  He wants it like every other day.  My sex drive is like non-existent right now, but I've been conscious about making an effort.  I'm usually a 2-3 times a week kinda girl, so I get why he's frustrated.  But there's no reason to be a diicck about it.  I explained all of this calmly last night and got a less than positive response.  Maybe I can blame this on the heat? Lol.  I'm really going to nut punch him and hand him some damn lotion though.

    Same.

  • DH gets a little bit more moody and more irritable, but he also will try to be more cuddly with me. There have been nights where I will be in a dead sleep and he' pulls me close to him

  • DH is a little more grabby but for the most part will just ask for it.
