Dear Lady. Ann:
My husband and I have been married for 6 years. I would describe myself as a good wife. I work full time, cook, clean, take care of our three kids once I’m home and have sex with him at least 5 times a week. He works too, but once he’s home, he doesn’t help with any other thing. He spends more time hanging out with his friends than he does helping with our kids.
I complain a lot about it, but recently I decided to just act like I am a single mom. The problem is he keeps demanding more from me when he won’t even play his part in our home. Most days, I come to bed so exhausted and he still wants to have sex. Most times I say yes, sometimes I say no. He gets so pissed when I say no and starts talking about how I am pushing him to the several women who would freely satisfy his sex drive whenever he wanted.
I used to let those words scare me into satisfying his outrageous sex drive, but now I am so sick of it. I hardly enjoy the sex because he pays no attention to how I can be satisfied. So, I just lay there and move in whatever direction he wants it. He complains I look bored, but I am bored! I am tired, exhausted, unsatisfied and bored. I say this every time, then he says I nag too much and he might not come home one day if I keep up with it. I don’t want a divorce because I feel my kids deserve to have their father around. How else can I make my marriage better? I know we can’t continue like this but I can’t get him to understand how I feel. I also think he is so arrogant and thinks he has nothing to lose if he walks away – because “there are many women out there that would satisfy his desires”. Lady. Ann, please help me!
