Have you actually really told him this?I couldn't agree more than men and women view sex differently. Men view it as rejection and think "she doesn't love me" if his wife doesn't have sex with him. I am the type of woman that if you help me out, show you actually care about the relationship (by putting in your share of the workload at home), show some appreciation, maybe do something unexpected and thoughtful, I'm more in the mood for sex than if he were to just say "hey baby, wanna wrestle?" or groping me. Often times I feel like a piece of meat, and I didn't used to feel that way. But since I haven't gotten the emotional security I've needed for a while. He just says "Is it wrong for me to be attracted to my wife?!" No, it's not wrong, I'm glad he still is, even with my pregnant body, but without the emotional support, I feel like just another woman he sees (or knows) that he is sexually attracted to.
So many women feel like they are objects as to the reason they don't want sex, until it's happening then it's just a pleasure, but to advise a man of this, that if only he understood emotional connection equals MORE sex and lot's off it, as you can't wait to see him nakkid would have so many relationships in a better place....
I understand the demand of that work, the hours, early rise, the pay and the "boys"...My ex husband was in that trade, he now lectures it..
Your husband mentions a "dirty home"....you've said that twice.... so that suggests, you don't have time between all your doing, and constantly pick up after the kids, especially the one with ADHD....
What's wrong with getting a bit of help? Maybe you'll not be as stressed, he won't be so stressed...
I think he misses "family"......that includes all that marriage is about because he's away so much being a batchelor....he wants to come home to a happy wife, that wants to see him and "feel' him and a tidy home.
Take be bull by the horns so to speak, what you give you usually receive back...
Remember, they have emotions as well... he may sincerely want a picked fence marriage to come home to and you may very well get the attention/affection you seek if you iew it all differently
