Good day mamas, please how should I go abut this? My husband and I are happy and doing well in almost every way. He is under a lot of stress at work at the moment due to staffing cuts and because he works for a non-profit the number of clients seeking services is way up. A lot of days he's working 12-16 hours. In the beginning of our relationship, say for the first 6 months, we made love every day. I still want to make love every day. He on the other had due to the stress at work he would rather we make love 2-4 times a week. I know that is average and healthy, I also know that he still desires me but yesterday I spent the entire day fantasizing about him, I didn't mean to but I did, my hormones must have been on double duty. I took care of business before he got home but still by the time he arrived home I wanted him desperately. I could tell last night that he was tired and feeling a bit stressed. I made him dinner, generally made his evening as nice as possible. I could still tell he wasn't really interested but I wanted it so bad I went against my own rule and came onto him when I knew he would most likely not be interested. Of course, he wasn't interested. I was so upset about the rejection and feeling rejected though that I didn't sleep well and I know I avoided cuddling him though I didn't do so consciously. Today I'm feeling sensitive, a little mad, sad, ashamed of my freakish sex drive, and guilty for letting it be such a big deal. It wasn't that we didn't make love last night it was that I really just hate the direct rejection of being told he's not interested even though I'm standing there in a see-through nightgown offering to do things to him. So my question is how do other people deal with the direct rejection? In general we manage our currently different drives with relative ease but when it comes to being flat out turned down I'm not good at it at all. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, ideas for ways to deal with that feeling when it's unavoidable aside from reminding me not to come onto him unless I can tell he's interested?
