Am I over reacting? I get pissed the more I think about it.
So. I’ve been married to my SO for ten years, together for double, 36F and 37M. Love him endlessly. I have constantly brought up wanting to spend more quality time {outside of just watching movies all the time 🙄} and more often than I’d like he skulks away in the basement to game THE NANO SECOND our two children are in bed. By the time he emerges he’s “tired and wants to go to bed”. It’s annoying. I want to hang out with him but must I beg?? Yes we have spoken about this plenty. He apologizes. Says I’m right and he needs to pay more attention to me/our relationship but here we are a month later from that last convo and back to me being upstairs alone and him downstairs gaming. PLUS I am FERAL. I want sex all the time, anywhere, anyway I can get it. I don’t know if this is common for mid thirties but my sex drive was always decent until kids. Because…kids. Now? I cannot get it enough. He’s down most times but I am constantly initiating now and when I am getting turned down, it hurts. It’s hard not to take it personally. What would you do if you were me? Just let it roll off my shoulders? Keep nagging and begging. Ffs. It’s affecting my confidence…
TLDR…I want to spend more quality time with my gamer hubs. I want more sex. I tell him these two things often. Changes for a bit then it is back to status quo. What do to about it?
