What have I got to do to get regular sex?

Answered 3 years ago

Hoping for some advice from the ladies. My wife is intimate with me once maybe twice a month. I have a fairly high sex drive.
We have two young kids and she’s always too tired. It’s great when we do but I need more. I cook most nights clean do the night wake ups with our young child.
I’ve brought it up a few times but always turns into an argument

That's hard. I was like that with my husband years ago. My sex drive was non existent, I wasn't in a good place for quite a while. I was diagnosed with depression and now I look back it was clear as day. I started on medication and the real me came back. We don't have alot of sex but generally once a week now (I've just had a baby 4 months ago) and were both much happier. If we don't have sex we watch a movie, cuddle, or shower/bath together. Alot of people will say don't ask, take care of yourself but I can near on guarantee if it was a wife saying her husband won't have sex the conversation would be different. Sex is healthy and it's important. I hope you can both find a healthy balance for yourselves. X

It took me until our youngest was 5 before I felt normal and healed again. Definitely don't feel like I used to, but do have the libido now. But my husband refuses to get a vasectomy and I won't Destroy my body with contraception anymore, so no sex for him.

I feel for you. I was in the same situation but did every WRONG. If I could go back in time I would have communicated with him better, I would have been more vulnerable and stopped my own shame from getting in the way of our sex life. I would have worked on our intimacy rather than just nag him for sex.

I’m pretty much the wife in this story....but have four kids
I’m terrible, my libido is dead. I feel bad for not wanting sex with my husband, who is great with direction around the house, with the kids and work etc.
but I just am not interested like I was years ago.

It sucks. Sorry I’m no help

Yes. My advice told him to come to the party in the partnership & do half if he wants to get more of what he needs.

It's advice. Take it or not. It's how it is in my house. My H thinks he does half too, but leaves the entire mental load to me so I'm not inclined to care about his physical needs.

Look up the 'mental load' and actually think about the millions of unseen things your wife does, how exhausting that is & take on half. Focus on what YOUR WIFE NEEDS.

After being touched, grabbed and attention demanded by kids all day, a husband wanting his sex needs be met like just having another child. Not very sexy.

If your wife feels you are a partner in the family & doesn't have the mental drain & resentment of having to think about everything, all the time, on her own, you might be surprised what happens. Although that's not a guarantee & you can't expect her to match your sex drive, feeling equal & respected goes a lonnngggg way.

Just be patient! Putting pressure on her is the worse thing you can do! Maybe also see if you can arrange for a relative to look after the kids for a night and then take her out on a date somewhere?

I hate this, leave her alone until she’s ready to come to you. Stop with the pressure it’s a passion killer. Take care of yourself in the meantime. It’ll get better, just be patient. Last thing she wants to do is sex when she’s finally made it to bed.
