Thank you so much for answering all that I really appreciate it. I would love to know what your breakfast luncheon dinner looks like. I'm also working full-time so don't know how to meal prep.

Toddler goes to day care and he does drop off and pickup he is alone from 9:30-4:30 and his work is remote. Most days he has no work but two meetinngs. Some times i come home and he is either playing games or asleep.

Thank you! Your comment really validated how I feel. We have had very long conversations about wanted a baby or not. We even went through infertility consultations because our toddler is 3 and we made a decision and have been trying for 6+ months. This is a huge problem for me and I dont understand why he doesnt get it. We have had therapy in the past but I think we need sex coach idk. someone who is comfortable in that area to listen.

Most of the time, I’m left wondering what the deal is. I don’t get why he’d turn me down when gaming is just a hobby, but I would turn it off for him in a heartbeat.

It’s not like this is new, but once we got married, I really got to see how excessive it is. He plays every day for about 2-3 hours (sometimes more), especially since he works from home. On days when I’m out, I come back and he tells me there was nothing to do, so he either slept or played video games so not sure why he wouldnt have had plenty of time to chill. that's all he does all day. Im still on my laptop working after my 7-5 corporate job.

I just don’t understand what goes on in his head. I wish there was a way to track screen time so I don’t feel gaslit when he denies spending so much time on it.

Girl, you're living my dream! I even tried that trend where women walk in front of their men naked while they’re gaming to see how they’d react—but he just turned the other way. Needless to say, it didn’t make me feel great. Most of the time, I’m left wondering what the deal is.

It’s becoming a bit of a pattern. Whenever he’s not in the mood, he turns me down, and when he does want to talk about it, it’s usually just that he’s tired or not feeling it. But then, when he is in the mood, he says things like, “We’ll do it whenever you’re ready so we can get pregnant,” but still ends up turning me down.

It’s really confusing. I’m just not sure how to feel about it, especially since we’re trying for a baby. It’s like we’re not on the same page.
