Flashback to Saturday night. I took my wife out for a nice dinner. We had great conversation. Had a couple of drinks. All was going well and I thought I might get lucky (we're 7 years into our marriage). It's been a little over 2 weeks since our last time, so considering that and how the evening was going, I thought it was a lock. But alas...it was not to be. She got into bed, turned out the light and rolled over. The end. Or so I thought.
I couldn't get to sleep. I was a little steamed about how this all went down and couldn't sleep, so I got out of bed and went and watched t.v. to help me go to sleep. Next morning she asks me where I went. I tell her what I did and she starts accusing me of having an Internet girlfriend! I didn't say it but all I could think was "I wish!" Anyway, turns out she WAS in the mood, but I just didn't pursue it. Uh...SHE ROLLED OVER AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?!?! How was I supposed to know that she was ready to go??? So that hung in the air all day.
That night, I get in bed and she follows and starts reading her book. Now...I'm not the brightest guy, but I figure after last night, we're due for some makeup sex...right? Well...I'm an idiot and I drift off while she's reading. But she finally turns off the light at around midnight and I wake up. She rolls over. So I'm thinking..."Should I try something? Or am I too late?" So I start making noises to let her know I'm awake. Shifting around, tossing in bed, all the usual tricks. Nothing. Damn.
Around 1pm she "wakes" up and goes to the bathroom. There's a chance! So after she comes back, I make my move. I put my hand on her back. Nothing. Then I move my hand down to her leg. She sits straight up and says, "Just go get the KY and let's get this over with!"
Soundly defeated and pissed off, I slept on the couch last night. It won't be the last night either. 3 weeks and counting...and still not an end in sight...

I am a woman, and if I'm lucky I get to have sex once a month (sometimes two!). My husband always has an excuse, too tired, too depressed, too busy... I would be oh so grateful for your 2 weeks! Perspective, eh?
Oops I meant sometimes once every TWO months... not twice a month. I wish.
In response...sounds to me like you need to throw on something a little more revealing! No guy I know turns down sex if the woman is into it. Just sayin'...
Okay, seriously.....whether it's the man or the woman-if you're tired, you're tired. Sometimes I think the spouse reads too much into it.
As for the post, I was laughing my ass off, reading it from a man's perspective. I too will wait for him to make the first move, and he will just sit there. He always tells me he would like if I would make the first move, yet....
When did we decide to make sex so damn difficult??
I agree! Why do we have to make it so complicated? I'm a woman and married for 15 years. Our sex life is dismal at this point. And it's certainly not from lack of interest on my part.
