Good job. What a tough night. Would it be better for you if tonight you went out for a bit? Maybe just saw a movie, went to a bookstore or something of that sort. Tell Mrs. HD that you need some time to yourself and let her figure it out. Give yourself a little space.

I honestly do think that it would be reasonable to ask someone to try to "decrease their drive" if the deal was that they needed sex every day, no exceptions and the other spouse needed a day between encounters to refuel. I know of a couple where the H wanted sex several times every day. It was fine for them because so did she. Most of us here would be thrilled with every other day or even every couple of days with a willing partner. HD - that is NOT unreasonable.
