As a person who has had CPS called on me by an abusive POS relative who I refused to allow my infant son to know (for obvious reasons) - go fuck yourself asshole. CPS isn't there for you to deal with a problematic living situation that happens to involve a child and a bitchy ex.
God, Sad Grads problem is like looking in a mirror. I think Dr. Nerdlove has a good approach. The amount of sympathy I have for her is outstanding and the best truths I can find are these, despite the answers sucking.
I might agree if the wife truly thought it was normal, but the wife's post on reddit paints a little different picture. She makes it clear that it's a recent slowdown and only temporary (well, temporary until this spreadsheet) due to the fact they just bought a house that they are renovating on top of her work laying…
I think the spreadsheet is a good idea, but he shouldn't have just emailed it to her. He should've printed it and shown it to her in person, and discussed his need for more sex in the relationship like a mature adult.
Option #1. talk to your wife because you feel that your sex life is lacking. discuss issue.
The fact he did it with a list shows he's a passive aggressive nutjob who is using every time she turned him down as "ammunition" for his argument. Like every time she turned him down she "owed" him sex. This is the problem. Seems to me dude needs to stop trying it on when his wife is watching TV or just back from the…
The thing is, it's presented in a way like it's her responsibility to have sex with him and everytime she doesn't (or her "excuse" isn't good enough), she's the one at fault. It doesn't really matter what her reason is, she doesn't need to have sex with him if she doesn't want to.
I have said it before, and I will say it again, she is probably on birth control, and after a while, that shit can just sap your sex-drive to nothing. And the sad thing is, you don't even know it is happening until your partner brings it up. You walk around not ever thinking about sex, and feeling like your idiot…
Why should she apologize to him? That's not what a partnership is about. If something is reducing her libido—like medication, or depression, or physical illness, etc. etc.—her husband should be understanding of that. She doesn't need to self-flagellate to be a decent spouse.
What on earth would give you the impression he's a jerk? Just because he charted everytime he tried to initiate sex, and sent it to her in an immature email like a petulant child throwing a tantrum, doesn't mean he's a... yeah, never mind.
Or maybe she's just fucking tired from cooking and cleaning for him, while holding down a job that got stressful for her, and she's dealing with some personal body issues that probably required some sensitivity and understanding from her husband? Oh, and they apparently just bought a goddamn house?
I just noticed she also cooks for him, cleans the house, and does his laundry. Maybe she's just tired from playing mommy. Damn, dude, household chores are an equal responsibility.
Or, as she says in the post, she's working a lot and very tired. And "I'm exhausted," "You're too drunk", and "I'm a little tender from yesterday" are damn valid excuses. The type of person who passive-aggressively makes excel charts and flings it in someone's face before they go on a business trip is probably not the…
Some women just have a low libido or maybe the husband is really bad in bed.
Also, if he was really down, he'd know this is a dumb way to go about things. And she probably wouldn't post it online if she were down.
While I agree that both of these people made bad decisions, him to send this spreadsheet (which DS is helping to make go viral, which almost assures that he will eventually find out, which may exacerbate their marriage problems), the actual Reddit post mentions that she tried to call him on the way to the airport and…
and sends it to her work email where IT can possibly read it (happened to me a few times) and declare he won't miss her for 10 days because she hasn't put out as often as he would like. I'm sorry but it takes emotional stimulation as well as physical to enjoy sex for some people. If this us a window to their…
Perhaps he should try initiating sex before she goes to the gym? Maybe in the morning before work? Being married means being part of a team, you're not trying to one-up the other person. These two are being petty with one another. That's the exact opposite of the point of being in a romantic relationship.
I want to see her follow-up of the 6/10/2014, 6/27/2014, and 7/12/2014 events with the duration of intercourse and a column of whether or not she was able to orgasm.
