I’m in my early 30s and getting really frustrated with my husband when it comes to our sex life. He’s in his mid-30s with a high sex drive and has been complaining that I’m “neglecting” his sexual needs. We have a 1.5-year-old, and he stays home full-time to take care of our child and the house while I work. I run my own business (which never really gives me a break) and recently picked up another job for financial stability. I work from home, but my workload and stress levels are nonstop.
Because of that, I sometimes resent his complaints. From my perspective, he has a much easier daily life, and I’d honestly love to be able to focus on our child and the home instead of juggling two demanding jobs. If he were the one working and supporting us, I wouldn’t pressure him about sex, but that’s not our situation. On top of that, when we do have sex, he complains that I’m not into it enough or complains that I’m too busy for him and he gets moody when we go a few days without it. The pressure he puts on me is really starting to make me angry and stressed.
He can’t work due to mental health issues, so that’s not an option for us. I just want to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation, and if I’m valid for feeling this way… because right now, it feels overwhelming and unfair.
