Question

Need ideas for avoiding the MALE "I have a headache/tired, honey."

So us planning, trying has me a little too happy and got me a little inside my own head I think. We have other factors that make this seem to me impossible but the biggest for me right now is it take two to make a baby... he has a very labor intensive job and work 12+ days most of the time 7 days a week, so this presents two problems he is tired all the time or if he gets a day off he is not really in the mood and just wants to relax, go have fun, do things he can't do when he's working. I know he is just tired but as a woman when you can't entice your man into any BD it makes you feel "unsexy", plus my already depression issues makes this tough. I am trying my own advice of the "being a teenager again" (only because teen pregnancy seems to be working so well SMH) but with both of us so tired from work and the "I'm tired" shoot down each time I try ends up upsetting me more. I'm at a loss...help...ideas?

If I were you, I would look into that a little more. My husband works up to 80 hrs a week and is ALWAYS in the mood. He would choose to BD over sleep anyday. Maybe your bf/hubby is having some difficulty with something within your relationship or feeling "some type a way" about something he isn't verbalizing to you. Maybe you should MAKE time to sit and discuss what is going on before doing anything.

Is it possible that he's having some issues with his performance, that he might otherwise feel uncomfortable telling u about and therefore doesnt want to pursue intimacy? Dont let it change how u feel about urself, theres something deeper going on here that he isnt telling u. What about his hormone levels, low testosterone will kill a libido. Can he be tested? Will he try supplements to give his man meat an extra tingle? There are a few out there to help with libido if he's willing to try. U do have to talk to him about this tho.

We've talked multiple times about the lack of BDing. If he had low testosterone he is to proud to admit it, and would still blame being tired from work. I know there is no way he would go for testing. The low libido is my theory and he has too much pride to admit it. We have a great relationship we communicate what I consider very well for a realationship. If we argue over anything it has always been an unspoken rule we don't yell, go to bed angry, and must say I'm sorry & I love you before sleeping. We take great care to focus on the little things for each other. We put every bit of effort in to our relationship and see the rewards of these efforts, we are intimate but BD is on the lower end of the work. When it comes to talking intimacy he seems embarrassed I think.
