Today, I came home from working twelve hours straight. Feeling rather frisky, I attempted to seduce my wife upon arriving home. She said that sleep was better than sex and proceeded to go directly to bed. It was only 6:30 PM. FML

Rejected.

Maybe you should be better in bed?

Or maybe it was just one of those days for your wife?

Idk, lots of explanations, but unless you haven't gotten any for weeks this really isn't an FML.

You should cheat on her now. We'll see her post next week

you must be awful in bed

Oh, boo hoo. Sometimes sleep IS better than sex. It just depends when and where! I guess your wife was tired. It's not a permanent commentary on how she feels about having sex with you. It just meant that she wanted to have her nap in peace.

#5 must not be getting any

bwahaha, the perfect username for this FML. Blue balls is the worst

Totally angry pirate her in her sleep!

muahahah @ #2

#4 is an idiot.

How long is your dong?

fail at seducing bro

Maybe she just doesn't feel like having sex every time you get horny? It's not the end of the world. x(

So take a nap with her, cuddle and whatnot, then fuck when you wake up.

i hate it when people make lame excuses... if she doesnt want sex why not just say it

#4 is an idiot. She may not have felt good, or she could have been tired. And YDI for saying "frisky". If you said that in your attempted seduction then that would be why she went to sleep instead.

Get a new wife.

Oh, poor you, your wife doesn't always want to have sex with you every time you want it. Life must be so terrible. My boy and I both go through periods of time where we just aren't interested, so what? It doesn't mean we're dissatisfied with each other.

This comment has been moderated.

I'm just going to guess that you are the g-spot champion.

or

What, she didn't have 2 minutes for you?

you must not have a lot of married friends, or you can't have been married long.

most of the time women get tired of fucking when they're married.

actually , we get tired of it generally. married or not.

this isn't really an FML because this happens to everyone, it's not exactly a rare incident.

Ahahaha! Did you shower thoroughly and brush your teeth first? Or did you come up to her, harassing her all stinky, greasy, and nasty?

You didn't make her feel guilty for saying 'no', did you?

take the OT pay you got and give to a girl at Mitchell Brothers, you'll win.

YDI for getting married. Haven't you heard? Scientists have discovered a new type of food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%... it's called a wedding cake!

She could have been tired/not feeling well/having a bad day. Shit happens. Sometimes people just aren't in the mood for sex.

That sucks. Hopefully it's what 26 said.

Maybe she was tired/not feeling well, or even just...not in the mood? It happens.

I like #14s idea, but seriously if y'all have kids or anything she probably was tired, maybe go for in the morning or in the middle of the night?

This isnt a FML this happens to every guy, i say hit up the strip club with the bros, its the next best pick me up.

Take #14's advice he is a very wise man.

12 hour shift and you still want to fuck your wife after work. You must be one beast of a man.
(high five)



So......waht the fuck is wrong with her?



I wouldn't take it to heart, actually, whoever you are. shes probably just tired. But then....6:30 :/


FYL

A genius once said...

Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

-Peter Griffon

cockblock

Superman that hoe.

#36, how would you like it if you weren't in the mood for sex and somebody tried to force you into it? Not much, I assume.

OP, don't think she can be blamed for it, and especially if you were being really persistent she probably just wanted to get you off her back... even so, it does suck for you.

lol, #35 wins

I think it's completely understandable for someone to be really tired and not want to have sex. If she actually went to sleep at 6:30, then she probably was exhausted. It is not your spouse's job to be sexually available for you all the time.

monicamischief, you are an entitled ass. just because she's his wife doesn't mean he gets an all-access pass to her body. that's the same line of thinking by people who believe there's no such thing as rape within a marriage. (i'm not accusing the OP of rape, just to make that clear now.)

OP, it's not really an FML, i bet she was just tired. even if she stayed at home all day, she still could have just been tired. lol, it's like a magic 8 ball - try again later.

Thank you #40 and #19!

The rest of you are fucking morons, and I hope you get testicular cancer.

Maybe it was her time of the month.....it hurts when that's happening.....

wow. Are there things going on in your marriage that maybe you don't know about. You need to talk to her and figure out what is going on. But when you do talk...make sure it's talking, not blaming eachother and yelling.

It all depends if your wife is a chronic sex evader...or if this was a genuine excuse.

If you never get sex with her, FYL.

If she was just tired when you wanted sex, one time deal, Get over yourself.

Sometimes, people get tired.

You worked for 12 hours and you weren't tired enough to forget sex?

Wow.

Either you're lame in bed (get help, FAST), or your wife is useless. I hope you don't let things go on that way forever, because that would be pathetic.

maybe you shouldn't immediately try to have sex with your wife the second you walk in the door. Doesn't exactly put someone in the mood when you walk in and the first thing you say after not seeing each other all day is that you want sex.

Sometimes you just want to sleep seriously. Guys really don't get this.

Oh and #50-so because his wife is tired and doesn't want to have sex one night she's useless?? Wake the fuck up, asshole.

# 47. Actually it is okay. In fact, we can do whatever the fuck we want. Maybe YOU feel the need to constantly please your boyfriend all the time, and that's your prerogative. I'm sure he loves you for that. But don't you dare try to tell everyone else what to do.

I happen to have a perfectly functioning sex drive, but if I'm not in the mood, I'm not going to do it. Period. So get over yourself, and stop advising the world on how many times a month it's acceptable to have sex.

Time to find a new wife, hot intern or prostitute.

#54, #47 might be a bit over the top, but she is right. My gf is like that & i love it. I work my ass off to make sure she is happy [getting her flowers, going out to fancy restaurants & ect]. b/c i know that she does the same for me & how valuable it is.


& Yes, having sex often [with your bf] is the best way to avoid being cheated on. I can think of a few times i would have cheated on my gf if sex was rare

This reminds me of another FML from a while ago where the girl texted her boyfriend that she wanted to have the sex and the boyfriend replied, "You have fingers, use them. I'm going to bed." Sometimes people are just too tired for sex, get over it. And for all of the people saying "Oh I would have sex even if I was dead tired!" are either 11 year old virgins or losers or both like #36. It has nothing to do with how the OP is doing in bed. OP - just wait a day or so...

Also, don't use the phrase "proceeded to go to bed." You're an adult. You should know better.

#56--um never listening to someone IS a lot different than not having sex with someone just because THEY'RE in the mood. They're really not even comparable things. I mean really, you can have a relationship without sex (not that I'm saying everyone should do this) but you really can't have much of a relationship without good communication (meaning you have to LISTEN to each other). #54 wasn't saying to just forget about sex. She was saying that if one person's in the mood and the other isn't then in NO WAY should the person who's not in the mood for anything have to just give up and do it if they really don't want to.

Ha ha im sry that rele sucks for u........maybe she doesnt want to have sex wit you anymore!! haha

And what 56 is saying is that if he's not in the mood to listen to her bitch all the time, he shouldn't have to. Many of my previous girlfriends have expected me to buy them things, take them out places, or do various other favors for them. In return, I would get nothing. The only thing that they're gonna get in return isn't more things or favors, it's being broken up with or cheated on.

#61--not everyone's relationships depend on sex. Some couples just don't do it very often because neither one of them wants to but that doesn't mean they don't have a good relationship or are "just friends." And what about older couples who can't have sex anymore? Do you think that means they don't have a good adult relationship?

holy crap ur peoples are being a big fat ass babies she was fuckin tired and and wasnt in the freaking mood jeez get over it!!!! =]

#64--Actually you WERE saying EXACTLY that it's basically a friendship if there is little sex. Going back to your original comment, you specifically talked bad about people only having sex once or twice a month. That would be little sex, not no sex. How about YOU understand your OWN point so I don't have to spell it out for YOU. And maybe you misunderstood me when I said some couples don't depend on sex meaning they show their love in other ways, TOO. (Meaning they do have sex, they just don't feel like they constantly have to have do it to prove that they actually love each other).

ahaha, sorry to hear that, but i really love my sleep so i don't blame her.

She was tired. Get over it.

Monica of course you have a healthy sex drive if you are 20 years old. Come back in 20 years i doubt you will be thinking the same thing. Not that i know from experience, i am also 20 lol but yeah.. anyhoo.. OP just go on a date with Palmala Handerson to hold you over.. xD

Someone earlier said it's SELFISH and RUDE to not have sex with their partner if they want it. Isn't it SELFISH and RUDE to try to force it on their partner, if their partner doesn't want it?

#70 is totally right :)

no, because relationships NEED communication, whereas people can go until they're married to have sex and be just fine. besides, if you're with your partner JUST for sex, then you're using them.

you people stil havent gotten over it yet jesus!!! okay so she was tired and wasnt in the mood to have sex the guys that keeps saying that hes not good at having sex how the fuck do you no that have you hav butt sex with him or somethn jeez and btw whoever said that is rude not to have sex with someone or something like that i bet you havent even had sex and your problay like 40 or something haha 40 year old VIRGIN haha!!!

to your #72 post-You're basically telling me that you really weren't even replying to my other comment then and now you're just arguing with yourself.
to your #74 post-wow, do you honestly think so many people are getting divorced because they don't have sex before marriage? I'm pretty sure that's quite LOW on the list of reasons why people get divorced. And you're just kidding yourself if you actually believe that a physical connection is equal to an emotional connection. True, some people don't/can't want a physical connection without an emotional connection, but they're not really the same thing. (And by the way, you previously were talking about the guy in the relationship not listening to the girl AT ALL except for once or twice a month, not just bitching and whining about the relationship. Don't change your story if you want people to take you seriously.)

#77--way to pull out a really lame insult for #75 and he/she's not even talking about this conversation, he/she's talking about other people with earlier posts.

hey #79 ur cool i like you

Um yeah actually I did address what you said because I was talking about how you were saying an emotional connection (like communication) is on the same level as a physical one. So that would be why I said you were kidding yourself if you actually believe that. So how about you read what I said.
You were the one who brought up the not having sex before marriage thing--I was not disapproving nor approving it, and I wasn't arguing for or against it. I was just saying that is not a major reason people get divorced like you eluded to.
And you keep changing your story=you're not really arguing against my argument=you're arguing just to argue, or arguing with yourself.

jeez people are asses on this thing im only 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#82-you basically just told me what I was telling you. That you ARE contradicting yourself. And what I've been saying is that an emotional connection is communication. You may want to believe that sex is an emotional connection, but it's not that is physical. It can enhance an already good emotional connection but it is not actually emotional, no matter how much you might think it is.
And to the first part, um, that has nothing to do with what I said. I was talking about your pathetic attempt at an insult by correcting his/her grammar. And the post was to other people's posts that weren't even about what we were talking about yet you told him/her they don't even know what we're talking about....well that's because he/she wasn't talking to me OR you, but to other people and in that context he/she DOES not what he/she's talking about.

correction-i meant he/she does *know* what he/she's talking about (instead of not)

FFS guys really! What the hell? Look you dont know that guy and the situation so you can only guess. Thing is he had his heart set on having sex with his wife after coming home from working all day and when he got home at 6:30 she would rather go to sleep. In any situation that sucks. Fact. Thats all OP is saying. He could be saying FML cuz its a regular thing or cuz he is only recently married and hasnt decided to accept the monthly sexual activity of married life yet. Quit having a massive debate over it. If you feel bad for him then go sort out someone to have sex with him, if you think hes whining and not having sex is not that big of a deal in a marriage then go back to gardening or collecting stamps or whatever you do with your free time.

This guy just wanted some loving, had built up to it all day, and didnt get it. FYL mate!


Try again tomorrow?

Everyone here is saying the same thing from different perspectives. If you are in a relationship and your needs are not being met, be those needs sexual, communicative, or emotional, then it is an issue and your relationship will suffer.
In a mature, adult relationship these issues would be discussed and you and your partner would decide what compromises you would feel comfortable with. Under absolutely no circumstances should either partner do anything that they are not comfortable with, but often, real love for your partner will make you more willing to compromise.
Now, the conflict of interest here largely comes down to, when the female partner is not comfortable under any circumstances offering her body to be used when she is not otherwise motivated (which, as a feminist I can absolutely identify with), does the male partner value the other aspects of the relationship enough to overlook that aspect on occasion? If no, the relationship fails. If yes, then they should use the stronger aspects of the relationship to come to an understanding and find ways for their needs to realign.
While I personally value the communicative and emotional aspects of a relationship higher than the sexual, I understand that they are not mutually exclusive, and that not everyone feels the same.
And I do have to disagree with monicamischef in that even celibate adult relationships can have a significant intimacy that can't be equated to friendship. Yes, that will become more intimate with a responsible sexual connection, but even without, it's not simply a friendship in many cases.

The original poster failed on two accounts. If this happens often enough that his needs are regularly not met, he should:
1. Attempt to turn her on before you decide that it's time to do it. He mentioned no efforts on this at all. If he did try and it failed, and this is the case often, then refer to 2.
2. Get off the internet and have a conversation with the woman he loves about it. Clearly she needs something to be turned on that he is not offering. Be it physical or emotional.

The wife is not at fault here.

She may have had a long day as well and not in the least interested in sex.

Time to get A New Wife, LOL.

#84 is the stereotypical hopelessly romantic girl. Sex is an important means for communication on an emotional and physical level. What if your boyfriend told you "I don't want to have sex with you because I find you unattractive, but let's still talk" ? Would that not affect your relationship with him emotionally? Would you even date him anymore?

@monicamischief dont bother trying to argue something like compromising or sacrificing something for your partner. they dont understand the concept of doing something to make someone else happy. these are the same people who went nuts over the claim of girlfriends shaving for boyfriends, and defended inconveniencing crowds of people so someone could do something "selfless" like propose. theyre so self involved its simply beyond words.

dont worry, those of us who understand there is a world beyond ourselves get your point. not everyone here is a special needs kid.

weird how girls freak out when its the other way, while guys just make fun of this.
oh well
i agree with number 2

Look, monica, if the only way your boyfriend can relieve stress is to ejaculate into one of your orifices, he's got bigger problems than anyone on FML can address. It's not "frigid" for someone to maintain autonomy over their own body or to have a low libido.

Physical intercourse is not the only way a person can support and maintain a relationship. It is, in fact, a poor substitute for a true emotional connection. That's why so many relationships fall apart after the first two or three years - the physicality runs its course and there's no underlying connection. Don't get me wrong, I love sex and I consider it essential to any healthy romantic relationship *I* embark on (as opposed to, say, asexuals) but in the end, when my SO truly needs support or to assuage stress, I use my words first and my vagina second.

FYI, I thought the guy proposing in the theatre was asshole-y too.

OK, mostly I agree with the first part of #87 - lmmmr, but part of me also agrees with this monica person in a way (whilst also agreeing with the poster who made the point she was 20yrs old; of course it's not a problem for her yet).
Do I think that girls should sometimes make the effort to please guys when they're not in the mood? Yes, provided that it's a relationship where both partners make that kind of effort (in and out of the bedroom) and neither party is selfish and everything is balanced. But a lot of my opinion on this comes from the fact that most girls I've known who make that effort in a selfless way usually end up enjoying the sex just as much as the guy does, so it ends up being win/win, anyway. Do I think they should do this all the time? No, because given the difference in libido, it can be an unrealistic and slightly unfair expectation. Do I think that it's all right to cheat on a partner for not giving it to you enough? Definitely not. Do I think you should talk about it if it's a real issue? Absolutely.
ANYWAY! That's not the issue here. OP made it very clear what the issue was.
"She said that sleep was better than sex".
It's really very simple - if the sex was good, sleep would not be better than sex. Because when sex is good, there's pretty much NOTHING better than it.
Sorry, OP. Better luck next time!

Have a wank

I just find her attitude about the whole thing heartless.

"Sleep is better than sex."

and she proceeds to crash. How inconsiderate. I find it odd that people would side with the woman regardless of who was playing the roles here.

She should have done something, not necessarily sex; even just picking her words more carefully would have made all the difference. Offer to cuddle, explain your hard day, something. There is some lack of communication going on here and I completely understand why the OP feels hurt in this regard.

Your partners have been lucky to have you monica. Cheers.

Sometimes people dont want to do stuff at the same time you do. It's normal to feel upset, but at the same time, understand what might be going on for them. Also i"m not sure what you working a 12 hour shift has to do with wanting to bone, unless you're trying to say she shouldn't be tired because she wasn't the one working?

Just think about this. If you're in the mood, and they're exhausted, and not in the mood... would it really be worth it if they consented anyways? I'd rather wait until they want it just as bad, becuase otherwise it feels forced.

Seriously, put yourself in their shoes and calm down, not getting laid isn't the end of the world.

"Sleep is better than sex" and off to bed by 6:30pm? If this is a one-time thing, no biggie, but if this is how she's been for a while, she sounds depressed.

Maybe instead of complaining "FML", you should be wondering you how could help the woman you love to feel better, so that sex can be good again for both of you? To those who suggested cheating or dumping her, shows how little marriage means to you ppl, or how little you value those you "love".

#22, that sucks. I'm sure glad I found a man who loves me unconditionally and makes sure I am always satisfied. I do the same for him, and guess what, we're still happy together and have a great sex life. A little self-sacrificial love, a lot of consideration for the other, and creativity in the sack goes a long way.

The more and more I read these comments, the more and more thankful I am that I don't have a sex drive.

Yeah, I went through that for 9 years STRAIGHT then 10 days after our 9th anniversary she moved out because she wasn't happy anymore. No warning, no fight, just not happy. And a guy she met at work. Be careful what you wish for my friend. FML too.

Im a sexy, hot teen girl. I am looking to talk dirty so comment back bitches (=

awes that sucks....
do you like suck in bed er something?
er is this just one of her days where she doesnt want to ...

Who cares dude have a couple beers and fall asleep on the couch

YDI for saying "proceeded".

DAMNIT 17th FML i moderated so i could write "#1 COMMENT :D" but no :( #106

damn - it happens. you hottt?

Why did she "proceed" to go directly to bed?
She didn't
she went directly to bed

will people ever learn?

if me yesss if somone else fuck off :P :P

clearly you dont know how to handle your dick

wow 12 hour shifts you said that like its your frirst time. ive been workin 12s 4 to 6 days a week for almost a year now. as for not getting any owell

Yeah, I said useless. Tired at 6:30 in the evening? What, is she like 80 years old? No? Then yeah, she's useless. Look, I work overnights, six or seven days a week. I average three hours of sleep a day, and yeah my job is fairly labor intensive. When I get out of work, I take my) son to school. When I get home (I don't live my gf, we're moving in together next month), I have to cook for myself, clean whatever mess my room mate has left for me, do all the normal routine crap like shower and check my email, and at some point during the week I have to do food shopping, pay bills, and hopefully find time to entertain myself. But when my gf needs something form me, anything (i.e. she has to work early or late and can't watch our son) I have to stay awake and suck it up. I have to go three or four days sometimes on coffee and cigarettes, but if she even in the slightest shows any enthusiasm towards anything, I'm there for her, because that's it's all about. I wouldn't be so adamant, but damn, she didn't even tell him off properly, just 'sleep is better than sex?' boring. People like that... well, I don't think I can even say that without starting a whole new war. But there's a place for them. I think it's in Jersey somewhere.

Nobody is that tired.

She's just avoiding sex.

If you don't have kids, divorce her now. She is just living off you. I'm sure she 'cares' about you, but not like a wife should.

Damn that sucks maybe you should learn some new tricks. hahahaha or just wait for a better time. And if you did get blue balls i feel bad for you.

basically... that just sucks. either ur horrible at putting the wood to ur ole lady, or she's sleeping around.

uhm, #87, since when is "I attempted to seduce my wife upon returning home" NOT "attempting to turn her on before you decide its the time to do it"?!! Reading comprehension *Fail*. However, being a guy who's not really been in a real relationship yet, much less married, I gotta say FML has given me some indirect pointers on what questions to ask before proceeding in any relationship. What she did was a tad bit disrespectful IMO, not even an explanation as to why she was tired at 6:30???!

#61

Are you telling us that asexual people cannot have romantic relationships? Romantic relationships are about the emotional connection, not just about sexy time -_- .

If someone was that interested in avoiding intimacy with me, they'd get what they wanted. I recently broke off a long distance relationship because it wasn't getting any shorter and I realized that I was drinking because I felt unloved and emotionally unsupported. Whisky had become my "liquid hug" and I needed to stop.

If your girlfriend or wife blows you off like that with no regard for your feelings, you can either quit her and find someone who gives a crap about you, or start drinking.

sorry! unless you're 90 years old and you also eat baby food for each meal, your life totally sucks!

Oh welllll :]
It just shows that she really does love you! If she's still with you AND she married you even if you're crap in bed, it shows that she's willing to put aside a shitty sexlife to be with you.

Though the way she presented that is a little bit blunt, lack of food (people don't eat much whilst working), lack of sleep (like you say) and hardwork makes people ratty.

No problem here :)

Damn man that SUCKS!
You know how women can get.
Biiiiiitchy :)

I think your wife does not love or like you anymore. How often does this happen?

You got home after being at work for 12 hours? Did you shower first? Next time shower and bring flowers. Just a suggestion.

Why would you marry someone like that?

go to the strip club instead. she won't notice.
