So I feel like a single mom, my husband doesn’t do crap and he works all day. His job is like 14+ hours a day and he’s the bread winner so I’m not completely complaining but you moms know how exhausting house work, chores, full time motherhood is.
I don’t feel like doing anything with him at the end of the night from the mental load. He wants to do it and I just mentally can’t because I’m not in the mood. I’ve said no so many times and I’m noticing he’s starting to treat me bad. I’m scared he’ll cheat ..

I go through this a lot. My partner is always wanting to do it and I find it so hard to get in the mood or I’ll be in the mood and all of a sudden I’ll lose the mood you’re not alone!

Girl u can say yes 100 times and a cheater is gonna cheat.
U should stick to ur needs which is no. Uncondition urself and be like him don’t put so much responsibilities on ur shoulder. Use his money to pay for help

I’m the one who works full time and my partner is a stay at home dad. He always wants it but after work then bedtime routines I’m too done in..
Sex life is very hard w young kids x

I think starting this as I feel like a single mum but then saying your husband works 14+ hours and is a breadwinner is wild! Diabolical! Maybe if you stopped dramatising things you’ll have a little more energy and capacity for a little more 🤷🏾♀️ most single parents literally do everything including financially without the other parent to rely on! I find this post frustrating so maybe if this is how you communicate he gets annoyed also. You really could have just said I’m soo tired and feel like I don’t have energy for sex with my husband. You might have other things in your marriage/home going on but God help the person that tells me I’m not doing enough after working 14+ hours and footing the bill! I would have nothing nice to say either. Maybe get him to work more normal hours and you both go back to work and share more responsibilities of the children or get off this app and sleep instead and have sex with your husband one a month until you build up to once a week 🤷🏾♀️

Talk to him. Communication is key. The way our brains work is not the same as theirs. We need to be mentally stimulated first, feel like they care about us, and that they are not only thinking about their own pleasure. Do some research on how our brains function mentally and share it with him. Feeling overly tired and stressed doesn't help much, and plus, him putting more pressure on you is only going to make things worse. If he gives you some space and shows understanding (not anger), your brain and body will relax more and you will be more proactive. But this takes time. This is something very common that most relationships go through. It's a challenging phase in your relationship that needs to be faced, in order to become stronger as a couple.

Communication is the best thing to do and plan it which I know sounds crazy but that also works so u nd him both know it's time for nasty time at that day nd that time so u both can be in the mood physically and mentally hang in there girl♥️
