Quote: Having sex was put on the chore list right below vacuming and above sorting the socks out. Why? Sex became a responsibility of being the wife. The same as changing a dirty diaper was of being a mother. Why? Sex did not seem as important as getting up with the baby in the middle of the night. Why not? Sex did not seem as important as sitting up and watching a disney movie for the 80th time with your child. Why the hell not? Sex did not seem as important as the housework that needed to be done after the kids went to bed. Why not? F**k the housework! Sex did not seem as important as sleep after two days staight of vomitting,feverish,wailing kids. My sympathy goes out to you and all PARENTS while they are dealing with this. Sex did not seem as important as getting the kids school cloths washed and H uniforms cleaned for the next day after working 10 hours. Why not? Sex did not seem as important as sitting up worrying about your 16 year who is not home yet. WHY NOT? BTDT!!! Sex did not seem as important as a late night phone call from your child away on vacation wanting to tell you what they did that day. You would not have that child to begin with if it were not for ML, so WHY did it get so UNIMPORTANT???? Sex did not seem as important as sitting down and writting that letter to your grandmother while all was quite to thank her for the $20.00 she sent you and tell her how much you missed her. Why NOT??? Grandmothers all had sex and, although they wouldn't want to admit it, IT FELT GREAT!! Sex did not seem as important as taking that long bubble bath to relax and gather your thoughts after a long day of yard work followed by making dinner. Bathing the kids and doing laundry and finishing the project that you did not get done at work. Wouldn't it have been even better if you had invited "hubby" to join you?
My whole point here is stop making excuses. The sick children is a valid excuse in my mind and in any HDH's mind. You win that round, hands down, no argument.
As for the rest, stop making excuses. But I don't expect you to "get it". My W doesn't get it either. And I'm really pissed off right now that after 27 years and all the kid things that we have gone through and everything else, she doesn't get it. And if you keep making excuses, your hubby will be here after you have been married for 27 years lamenting about how you ALSO don't get it.
