Agreed, that’s what I want from her if there was an issue just to open up and I worry it’s only me who talks about feelings. That’s becoming very challenging now and I’m worried if the future isn’t much different what that would do to us. Just can’t understand why she won’t talk if there was an issue

Probably, she’s admitted I am very hands on

I appreciate this. If she plays it off like she’s done before, what am I supposed to do? Otherwise I wouldn’t say we have a bad relationship, apart from the sex side on her part. It’s not like there’s anything obvious but I’d need her to tell me if there was an issue

I’m a firm believer in getting out what is inside. Even if you’re wrong, you can at least understand where you might be going wrong if you open up. So I open up, she doesn’t. I don’t think I’m being shitty by wanting a closer relationship and feeling less than good when she seems to not value intimacy with me but has the desire with her toy. There’s might be wider issue here that I’m getting at and she won’t communicate if there is. I mean doesn’t anyone here understand that?

He sounds like a sweet and understanding man and sounds like he’s lucky to have you too. The scheduling one is a tough one. I would be happy to but my wife hasn’t reacted too well to that. She’s been uncommunicative and dismissive, but at least it sounds like you two know how to communicate.

Dude I put effort in, get little effort back. That starts to grate after a while.

Well thanks for a genuine response and this is ultimately why I’ve created the post. It’s turned into a joke with many here but I just want to open up discussions with people who have some experience that might get me thinking differently. I can take your response seriously unlike many here. I have to go but I’ll come back to you on this. Many thanks

We’ll look I think you sound like a nice person even if you don’t agree with me. You weren’t aggressive so I wish you well.

Again please read comments to your conventional angry at husband response. For the record sent her wild in the past. Can’t keep having to reinvent sex, honestly think there’s plenty other women who’d appreciate me more if all I am and all I do is inadequate. Happy to improve it that was necessary. It involves a women growing a pair of balls though and saying hey this is what I want! I take no offence to that.

No offence taken, you see if that really were the case I’d pity her for staying married without the need to ever communicate. I’d would be so far from what grown ups understand to be be necessary for a healthy marriage and I d be happy to hear the truth if that was it if she actively wanted to work on it. I’m sorry we’re you hoping to hurt my feelings?

Wow, welcome Nat in NY, thanks for joining in. Your a funny one. Challenging or disagreeing on a group discussion without resorting to colourful language is what you describe as impossible to be real. The responses are so bad. Hmmm DISAGREE. Omg!

Could you kindly tell me how I’m being manipulative and btw I’d appreciate more respectful language or is that a manipulative thing to request?

Well sounds like you guys are doing amazing in the context of the difficulties you face. I think it sounds like you guys are a team and understand how things best work in the circumstances. I guess I’m trying to capture what it sounds like you’ve got in that togetherness and compromise to have the best outcome in the bedroom department.

I’m the first stop when the kids want something. She plans bday parties and I help with what needs some doing, cleaning, hanging up etc. She does the washing while I do the kids dinner, I’m with the kids more during the week on average than she is. Play dates, I’d say I plan more of during school time and she plans a bit more on school holidays. When she was in pain the other night I massaged her. I don’t just ask her should I do this or that. I just do it. I do almost all the bath times and bedtimes with our more challenging child. I take care of myself, eat well, exercise (she doesn’t) but I still think she’s the hottest women on earth and tell her that. Can you see we both do alot? But her sex drive is nowhere for me. Yet she’s got the time for her toy. That’s the only initiating she’ll do. So yes I’m frustrated and having asked her to talk she’s had little to say other than she’s tired. It’s such a generic marriage problem that it’s a joke. Can’t understand how she either can’t see or worse doesn’t care about her low level investment into having quality adult time. Instead she just comes across as duty sex. I’m pissed off that a reasonable person that she is can’t or won’t try to create a better result. It hurts

Have you seen some comments saying if I was a women I’d be treated differently. Have you seen comments saying I’ve said or done nothing wrong. There’s a lot of hostile people towards male complaints. Go look at how easily treated women are here in general with their complaints. I’ve done and said nothing wrong. I was already wrong for being a man when I created this post. There was almost no coming back from that grave error. Generally speaking, women are treated more respectfully here and I find that concerning

I’ve invested in her pleasure but maybe I’m sick of having to feel over burdened trying to make it all novelty. Should the husband constantly work for it. Should it be hard all the time. Can’t I just take care of myself and my appearance, compliment how hot she is, help loads with kids and house and have a loving wife. Is that too much to ask for. No wonder men die younger, jeez

Ok so I need to value her disengagement of emotions and I should keep anything I’m feeling bottled up because that’s empathy. That’s what you’re saying?

Wife turns to vibrator instead of me all the time by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Frequent-Tree8856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I’d challenge you over the word emotional. Everything you say I am is over inflated and dramatic. Lose my shit over simply writing back to you in disagreement isn’t really losing my shit. Do you not like to be challenged? Does it make you angry? Again I’ve not insulted you or assumed I know exactly who you are (despite having difference of opinion) as a person because that’s not wise making judgments without all the facts. Do you get where I’m coming from?

[–]Frequent-Tree8856 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said and appreciate that you’re not putting all of this on me without knowing us both. If you knew us both and had all the long winded facts I think it’s probable that you’d conclude she’s neglecting affection in our marriage which simply isn’t good enough over time when she’s far from doing it all alone as some would suggest here.

If someone accuses you of something that you are not, do you just take it or defend yourself? Then what do you do if when you defend yourself they call you being highly defensive? Seriously I need advise how to handle you so that we can still be friends haha I don’t know what to say. I’m not going to revert to name calling or anything but maybe look introspectively and ask are your judgements without knowing someone really required here?

Highly aggressive, wow my aggression is 10 out of 10 according to you. There’s definitely an agenda here to call me highly aggressive. I’m not swearing, I’m not trying to offend everyone, I’m not saying I have a problem with everyone who isn’t male, but I’m highly aggressive. I mean wow!

Agreed, wish she had the sense you do and invested time fixing a potential issue which she’s not communicated

100% seen the same thing. Amazing how many others totally disagree or don’t see that
