see: Woz, FBGPerhaps as a man if you do way too much you become viewed as some cowed person, less of a man.
If you have honestly pulled more than your weight so far and not getting any, I would take the opposite approach. Do less and tell her to pick up the slack more. Go do things solo that you like to do. Some (perhaps a lot) married women can view their husbands who do too much as less masculine. You've got to be alpha and stop being a Woz, walking on eggshells and doing everything. If she wants a man servant then she should hire one. That's not your role.For this lady to be pulling this junk in her 30's good luck with her down the road, she sounds like a barrel of laughs...All this garbage about what YOU need to do as far as chores is a bunch of garbage. You need to take out the trash, do all the housework AND work full time to pay most of the bills and maybe if you're a good boy you will get a treat later. Whatever!! Id drop this lady so fast she would get whiplash. Thats how i roll, i dont play...We've discussed it before, even recently, and she claims that she has just lost interest in sex. From the research that I've done, it's not uncommon for women to experience this at all. It's wearing on me to no end though. I don't think a healthy marriage can survive without sex.
This.Honestly, be the man and don't allow your wife (or gf) dictate the relationship.I just dont allow woman to dictate how many tricks i have to do in a day to get a treat...Yes, he knows how to equate money with sex.

Don't listen to Chaka regarding women. Seriously.I have ladies from all parts of the country calling me up to fly out to see them. Sending me nudie pics, They want a piece of the Boom...No but I hope your point was that you end up home alone masturbating after most of your dates.Did i stutter?You don't allow them?I just dont allow woman to dictate how many tricks i have to do in a day to get a treat...Yes, he knows how to equate money with sex.

If she's going to act like a girl then no problem calling her one.Well then I feel really bad for you because there is nothing as humiliating as being called a girl.I don't think he was talking about you.New?do we have a new female member?It's not about chores it's about feeling appreciated and not feeling like an afterthought until he gets horny.I think you are missing the point. I believe the point is... what does sex have to do with chores?
If that's what it takes to get expontentially more sex than you married dudes (as clearly evidenced by this thread), it's a trade-off I'm happy to make.'Walton Goggins said:see: Woz, FBGPerhaps as a man if you do way too much you become viewed as some cowed person, less of a man.
Yeah, it's pretty awful.20ish years of practice/training and everything is dialed in perfect. Talk about a nice setup. Would hate to break someone in constantly. I don't know how you single guys do it.Can you blame her? After 16 years I can't imagine wanting to have sex with the same person over and over either. I can't last but 3 or 4 years without getting bored. I don't know how you married folks do it.

Good luck.This thread has me calling marriage counselors today.Wife and I have averaged 3-4 times a year since our son was born six years ago.Haven't had the secks in the last 8 months which has included her birthday, my birthday and our 10-year wedding anniversary.To continue like this is just insane, my mentality has always been, do whatever you have to do for the family, the kids.

Are you actually suggesting that people concern themselves with the well being of those they love and promised in front of G-d and the world that they would be true to?PfftToo much work. Just dump her and start over. Oh and on the way out be sure to let her know that it is entirely her fault and what a horrible person she is for not servicing you on demand. Smacking her around is optional.I dealt with a similar situation years ago (except for the marriage part). Was living with my fiancee and she switched to Paxil after being on Wellbutrin and other drugs before.My advice: Get her off the meds. Seriously. And I don't mean switching her to another one like Lexapro. (You'll have to consult with your doctor how to do this safely as quitting these cold turkey can have bad results in some people.)She's responsible for her own happiness. She needs to learn how to control her anxiety without drugs. And you can help her with this.Learn how to meditate together. Go to yoga together. Work with her to change her thought patterns from negative to positive. There's a ton of good info out there explaining how to do this (The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy is where I would start). Start eating a healthy diet. Work out together regularly. Etc.The bottom line is that trying to get her to change her behavior without getting her off the pills will almost surely be unsuccessful.

5 stars.Maybe shave the beard? :avatarjoke:
my take on this after 22 years with the same woman and 4 kids: if you want your wife to respond to you sexually you have to do certain things beside show up from the bar or golf and say i'm horny lets go. First and foremost, be a man. That means don't spend more time on your clothes and hair than she does, it means do man things like fix #### aroudn the house and yardwork. When she gets kind of whiney for no apparent reason tell her to knock it off, stand your ground, don't let your wife guilt you into all types of submissive non-man behavior. But being a man also means you are attentive to her desire to be listened to, you are there emotionally for her to lean on, you are there to help raise and discipline your children, you back up your wife against your children when they whine about mom being mean, you help around the house, you set aside quality time for your wife and your children. In between all of this, you have to find little moments where you come up and grab her, or whisper something sexy in her ear, tell her she's hot, tell her you're going to treat her like a whore later on, send her a dirty text.. something, anything that plants the idea in her head. this is good to do in the morning before you go to work, when you come home as long as you're willing to follow through, a lot of times you'll get more than you bargained for. Because like all things in a long term relationship, it can all become mundane and routine, you need to throw some curveballs in once in a while and keep it interesting.'desert rose said:I'm not married, and I'm not in my 30s. But from everything I've heard, women get more of an appetite in their 30s and 40s, while men decline a little in theirs. I do think that for women, who are already in a committed relationship, a lot of being in the mood has to do with the emotionl domain. If she feels emotionally connected to you, she'll be more there.Just my two cents.

With maybe the FBG Uberwife exception, I think many marriages are in the shades of gray area of this assessment. We men are just wired to want it more, and from my perspective sex in marriage is more than the physical act but more like an intimate connection you share with your partner. At times I've felt the way D and the OP has stated, and am working my way through the 12-step program in a sense. We're in our mid-thirties, have two young children, both work and are generally fit and successful and love each other a lot. We've recently started a mandatory date night a couple times a month, spend quality time doing other things we enjoy, both with the kids or after they go to bed, and in general have made some effort to connect more and have talked about our differences in viewpoints on sex. I've really tried to get my head around the fact it's not all about me and that having ulterior motives for messages and so forth is counterproductive. These smallish changes have made some progress towards more fun times and reconnecting with each other. I have accepted that I will be the initiator 95% of the time and it's not because she doesn't want to have sex, but she just wants me to get the ball rolling. Is it fair? Not really, but it is what it is. I'm not completely satisfied but we're making progress in our busy life to have a happy marriage where all parties get most of what they want. I married a good woman and if once/week sexy time is the burden I bear then I'm willing to do it. And it sounds like there are others who would trade for that kind of frequency, like I would trade for those that get it more frequently. Life is always busy and the focus shifts from each other to kids, and it takes a lot of effort to fight for the husband/wife territory out of all the other stuff.Men focus on the main course (inserting Object A into warm, wet area B). Women, at least in my experience, are all about the "appetizer," the dinner conversation, and the dessert. Men want steak. Women want to be wooed, want to laugh and enjoy some great conversation, want that delicious side dish/appetizer, and that rich chocolate at the end. I can get my wife to climax without ever having "Object A" go anywhere near "warm, wet area B." In fact, I think that is often-times a lot easier getting to that point! For me? Nothing beats "steak." But it's not all about me.
My problem after 13 years of marriage is similar to the OP though. It's rarely if ever about "me" anymore. She expects the sun, moon and stars from me, then "returns the favor" about 5-10% of the time. She's very selfish that way...only if I call her on it?! Then the Jedi mind-tricks begin related to me being selfish for focusing on my own needs rather than hers. I think sex and marriage is like a 12-step program. You deny that your sex life has forever changed (especially after having kids)...sometimes for years/decades. Then you finally accept your fate. Then you get angry. Then you finally focus on figuring out how to try and make "lemonade" out of the lemons you feel life has dealt you. A lot of guys never get past denial or anger in that whole process. Anger also including the "I'll show her!" and/or running around chasing skirts on the side/D-L.
The thing I don't like, however, is how marriage is suppose to equal fidelity...but how many women seem to equate that to chastity. If men want to have sex, and their wife doesn't want to and/or uses it as power/leverage in their relationship, then men are toast. Don't do anything about it? They're angry/unfulfilled most of the time. Try to do something about it and their wife isn't receptive and/or realizes the good thing she has going? See: Don't do anything about it. Cheat on your wife?! You lose WAAAAAY more than half your stuff, your kids, and get to live in some flea-bag motel while your wife and attorneys bleed you dry. All because of sex. Seriously...how many marriages out there end in which a couple's sex life has been happy/healthy? Probably not too many. My guess is that sex is what breaks up a VAST amount of marriages.

I don't doubt that this approach has worked for you, but "mandatory date night" just becomes another part of your routine that will likely seem forced over time.We've recently started a mandatory date night a couple times a month, spend quality time doing other things we enjoy, both with the kids or after they go to bed, and in general have made some effort to connect more and have talked about our differences in viewpoints on sex.
The common theme I seem to notice in a lot of these threads where the married guys complain about lack of sex, especially when they're honest with themselves, is that their wives are freaking bored out of their minds.What do you want to do tonight, honey? It's date night! Chili's, I guess.
