Today, I slipped on some ice and wrecked my back. When my husband and I went to go to bed, he begged me to take one of the pain pills left over from his recent surgery. Not so I could feel better and get some rest, but so he could have sex. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tore a muscle in my back. At the hospital, I was prescribed some pain medication. My husband got me settled at home, with everything I needed within reach, and left for work. As I picked up the bottle to take the first pill, I knocked it on the floor. It rolled under the couch. FML
Today, my husband injured his back badly. He's taken three Percocets, because according to him, he knows the dosage better than his doctor, and is demanding that I let him drive himself to work, with no pants on. FML
Today, a few hours after me and my husband had sex, he mumbled, "This is why I hate sex," as he left to grab some Tylenol. Apparently, he's so out of shape that basic sex made his muscles too sore to sleep. This is the first time in two weeks we've had sex. I'm always the one that has to ask for it. FML
Today, I faked back pain to get out of sex with my wife. FML
Today, my wife screamed at me, calling me a "useless, ungrateful piece of crap", all because I wouldn't have sex with her, despite hours of her nagging. I said no because I've been laid-up in bed for the past week waiting on surgery for an excruciatingly painful hernia. FML
Today, my husband wanted me to take a sleeping pill before having sex with me. Apparently I'm better in bed while half-asleep. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML
Today, after my boyfriend had been away for months, I invited him over to have sex. He said he hurt his back too badly to do anything. Don't worry though, it doesn't hurt enough to stop him from working on his truck for several hours. FML
Today, I slipped and sprained my ankle while shopping for a present for my husband, who later came home and tripped over my elevated leg, hurting my ankle again. Now I have an excruciating sprain, and a spouse who's furious at me because, I "shouldn't have tried to surprise him." FML
Today, I realized that in my relationship with my significant other, the roles are switched. We went out for a nice dinner, I paid, and when we got home he "had a headache" and asked for an aspirin so he could go to sleep. FML

Take the pain pills and forget about sex, just rest.

That's a selfish partner you should reconsider spending your life with.

Oh wow I've read this FML 4 times now and for the previous 3 I thought it said she slipped on some ice cream

What an ass! I hope you didn't give in & rested instead. Back pain is no joke.

Sex is really important in a relationship. If one partner isn't satisfied it could cause other problems to arise. So yes having sex when you hurt your back is far from ideal, be aware how often you say no. You could leave your partner feeling desperate alienated and then unloved

Yeah sure sex is important and all, but here the guy asks for sex while his wife hurt herself ? Don't you think that is the real problem here ? Seriously !

I dont think you're grasping the issue. Yes sex is a good thing in a marriage, but its supposed to be enjoyable for BOTH parties. OP has every single right to refuse sex due to her hurt back, and hubby needs to understand that he can't just get sex from whenever he wants, ESPECIALLY when she's injured like that. Plus, painkillers or no painkillers, sex could injure her back further.

ever stop to think that OPs husband is just a horn ball?

I was more commenting on how many sexless marriages there are. What if it was guy with a hurt back and the girl wanted it? I've heard from other young married couples that don't have sex often enough, there's usually one frustrated person who always gets rejected. Sorry I think ignoring a spouses needs is a bad thing... Jeeze.

In the FML says "so HE could have sex", send him to the couch, and let him deal with his own hornyness.

Send him to the couch? That's not how a real marriage works.

your husband has a way of telling "let me take care of you by giving pain pills and have sex"

At least he didn't tell you it was because he fantasizes about unconscious women. I guess. FYL OP, FYL

Talk about uncaring. Can't even wait a few days for you to enjoy it as well.
