Sex in MarriageSexual problems are common in many relationships. This section is for discussions about sexuality. Please limit discussions to those asking for help with a problem and those offering advice. Any other threads may be deleted.
If your wife is also overwhelmed by life's responsibilities, there is no wondering why she isn't in the mood for sex. I'm a good wife, sex is the last thing on my mind, and I'm glad that I have a patient and loving husband.
We both work full-time and equally share all the chores and responsibilities. We're both equally stressed but we're happy to have each other and our kids. She loves me and respects me a lot but when I touch her, she immediately removes my hand. Ten years ago she would get aroused by my voice on the phone. I'm so confused.
What kind of feminist movement would have their supporter cast away femeninity? This sounds more like a nunnery than a simple rights movement.
Like any socio-political movement, there is a very wide spectrum of ancillary thought among those that embrace the basic ideals. Not all of it is pretty.
Uh, if this is real, start putting out some sex positive feminist writings. Annie Sprinkle, Camille Paglia, Pat Califa, Ellen Willis etc. It's possible to be both and really feminism shouldn't affect your libido.
I also disagree with ames as I'm at home, I work from home and am home carer with a toddler and I'd be pissed as hell if I didn't get sex. BS caring husband. Posted via Mobile Device
Pulling away from you and not wanting to have sex with you to the extent of suggesting you satisfy your desires with another woman suggests major rejection. You can go on pretending she loves and cares for you but action speaks louder than words. Don't kid yourself! I think you should insist on marriage counseling so you can get to the bottom of this and figure out what your wife really wants. She has already checked out of the marriage so you either need to get it fixed (counseling) or go your separate ways. You probably have experienced what happens when you disregard the symptoms of a problem with your car. It doesn't fix itself. It only gets worse.
This is like my marriage. But unlike you Mr. Selfish, my husband understands that a woman doesn't feel like having sex when she has to take care of two pre-school kids, maintain a full-time job and several household chores.

Wow. I don't think your husband is as understanding as you think, no one gets married to NOT have sex... he just doesn't push the issue because he doesn't want to get turned down. And the OP isn't selfish.
I work full time, have two kids, take care of the home, hubs works 12 hours days 5 days a week, I just found out I have a 9 inch diameter tumor on my ovary that needs to be removed yesterday and yet....sex is still amazing.
Priorities. Sex in a marriage is a priority. Sex in marriage is part of being a good wife/husband.
Someone who's I love with you is not going to deny you your sexual needs. I'm I'm love with my husband and I can not imagine not having sex with him. I'd divorce him if he had sex with someone else. I'm sure he'd do the same for me.
Man, do I sympathize with you! I thought I was in bad shape; you make me look like I'm in high cotton, although I have my own issues! Demand marital counselling! If she continues to refuse, divorce her. I think she is lesbian because she obviously has zero hetero sex drive--at least for you. For years, my wife refused to go to counselling. Only when I gave her the MC or D choice did she go.

1x/wk @ 20-30 minutes = 21-26 hours/yr......i.e. losing 30 minutes of sleep a week or missing a tv show...... Really asking so so much??????
Does your spouse help around the house, play with the kids do chores.......
Yes the young children years are difficult, and can easily expect a dry spell and diminishing sex, but the OP only has 1 child and 4X in 5 years!!!!!!
