Today, was my first day off in almost a month. My husband and I spent all morning arguing, then he left to his job saying he wouldn't be back tonight. Apparently I'm being neglectful because I don't have the energy for sex after being the only one working full time, cooking, cleaning, and running errands. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had the day off from work. I did all the chores hoping to free up time to spend with my husband tonight. When he came home, he looked around and decided that since there was no need for him to stick around and help clean, he'd head to the bar to watch the game with the guys. FML
Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML
Today, after an entire week of doing all the household chores, and feeling under appreciated, I suggested to my boyfriend that we go on a date night, to feel a little more connected. He has spent all day trying to get out of it. I offered to pay, because I just want to feel loved again. FML
Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML
Today, I got yelled at all day at work, only to come home and get yelled at by my husband. FML
Today, it took me two hours to put all the kids to bed, so all I wanted to do was watch TV but my husband, who'd spent all that time asleep on the sofa, started pestering me for sex like he thought he deserved it after I'd asked him for help 3 times before just doing all the work myself. FML
Today, after being tired of my husband acting like I’m invisible, giving more attention and affection to the dog than to me, and me going to spend a few nights at my sister’s house, he texted me, "You coming home to make dinner or what?" on the second day. It's now day 4 and he hasn’t said anything else since. FML
Today, I yelled at my husband for staying out till after 9 and not having done any of the chores. He turned round and yelled right back at me for letting him sit alone at the restaurant, getting sympathy from the waiters, because I clearly forgot today was our anniversary dinner. Whoops. FML
Today, my husband has been out partying all night. While my in-laws didn't ask him a single question, earlier I received more than six calls from them about when I'll be home to cook and clean. Where was I? In the office for the first time after working from home for past 3 years. FML
Today, my husband threw an epic tantrum because I asked him to put away the leftovers from dinner. Yeah, because I guess me going to the grocery store, then preparing and serving the food AFTER working a 10 hour day wasn’t enough. Thanks babe. FML

so why are you married to him still? you know you could just work fulltime, do all the other things and then enjoy your day off without arguing and having unfullfilling sex.

Protip for dudes: making a woman feel like sex is another chore on the list of shit she does for you will not get you more sex. Turn sex into a chore and you get none of it.

Divorce him. Problem solved.

No excuse for not giving it up on a regular basis

The one she gave is just fine. No excuse for him not cooking/cleaning/running errands when he’s working part time and she’s working full time.

As someone who has been in the exact situation (and add 2 small children to the mix), divorce him. I promise that no matter how much you struggle, it is worth it not to have the added stress of a husband/significant other that you can never do enough for. You can't make everyone happy, so try starting with yourself.

you still need to have sex with your partner, it is kinda expected and important in relationships
honestjane 22
So you're just supposed to let someone have sex with your body when you can't possibly enjoy it and thus leading to resentment that he's basically raping you? How about if he's a little more understanding about his spouse being exhausted and maybe helping so she has a little more energy to devote to him? Marriage is supposed to be about supporting each other, not one person making unreasonable (under the circumstances) demands of the other and being like a child having a tantrum when they don't get want they want.

Except this guy doesn’t sound like a partner, he sounds like a leach. He can go **** himself.

If he doesn’t care enough to help make sure she is not too tired for sex, when he has more free time because he’s working fewer hours, he’s really not entitled to any kind of expectation for regular sex.

You left out napping

Sorry, but based off what you wrote he sounds like a self absorbed prick.

Well sex is important you need to see his side also maybe you should neglect the house chores or eat out more often to make personal time for intimacies

Or, better yet, he could step up and help her.
