Being a HLF is making me resent other women
I'm in my early 30s with 2 kids. Over the years, I've made some mom friends. Inevitably, these friendships start to feature conversations about the state of people's marriages. Most of the women I'm friends with seem (reasonably) happy, but they all bitch and moan about how their husbands won't stop "pestering" them to have sex. I've confirmed it's not just a LL4U situation, none of them are interested in having sex, period. Meanwhile, I am absolutely dying here because my husband will not touch me.
I had the same experience when I went to a workplace happy hour one time. There were maybe 8 of us, all women. As the drinks flowed, the topic of sex came up and it turned into a bitch fest about how their husbands can't keep their hands off of the and they hate it. I wanted to melt into the floor.
Being a HLF, especially one with young kids, is so isolating. It makes me feel like a freak to crave sex this much.
