I found it strange how she says:


When she says no, that not the start of a discussion but the end of the conversation.


I'm not saying anyone should be forced to do anything they don't like, but it does say a lot about her sense of privilege.

She said in the article that when he touches her (wanting sex, not just in general) it makes her skin crawl, no wonder he takes no pride in himself. Can't honestly believe he posed for a picture with his partner outing to a lot of readers that she hates having sex with him.

I think the way she speaks of her husband in the article is pretty awful, she's very disparaging towards him.

If my partner said this about me it would make me so upset, no matter the reason.

On a side note: if that's what the guy looks like when he's made an effort for a national newspaper I cant say I blame her for her views.....

In all fairness though, it's hard trying to stay in shape with young kids!

My first arrived 10 months ago and before she was around I cycled almost 200 miles a week and also cooked freshly prepared meals each night.

Nowadays i'm lucky if I get out on my bike for an hour a month and all my freshly made healthy meals have given way to ready meals during the working week.

Net result is that i've gained a stone in weight and with the wife's maternity leave now ending I can't see me getting time to exercise properly for a few more months yet.

If he all of a sudden starting taking care in his appearance and looking after his physique no doubt she would get the hump (AHEM) and wonder who he was doing it for.

If anything, if I was shamed like this, it would push me to go above and beyond to improve my appearance.

Sense of privilege? Could you explain what you mean by that in this context?

That her word is law and that her husband doesn't even get the chance to explain their feelings etc.

Four kids under four :eek: Jesus it's no wonder she doesn't want sex, I'd be terrified of getting pregnant again.

Must admit that I looked at his photo and thought "Yep...indeed he certainly has let himself go and I wouldn't fancy him in a month of Sundays the way he is now". They were both the same looks level to start with - but I think she's gone up the scale a bit and he has certainly gone (rather a lot) down the scale. They used to "match" and now they definitely don't - so I don't blame her not being interested in him in that way any more.

But I'll admit that (back when I was dating) most of my boyfriends were good-looking. I never used to say anything about keeping their looks - but I found they decided to do so themselves and, in a couple of cases, lost a bit of weight they needed to lose. I guess most men can figure out for themselves that looking after their looks means a higher chance of their partner still fancying them....

When it comes to her body and if she has sex, surely her word is law? It's something they may well wish to discuss and no doubt it's difficult for him to be rejected, but surelyp it's not a 'privilege' to say no to sex if you don't want it?
