Re: Frustrated newlywed
Thanks for the response!
I've tried these things, but nothing seems to work. I took her on a weeklong vacation a few months ago to northern NH with three full days scheduled for just spending time at outlet malls and the rest of the time we either went sightseeing or cuddled by the fireplace.
That was one of the most frustrating weeks of my life. Every night but one, I was up watching television while she slept satisfied. I needed a vacation from that vacation.
For months I tried different ways to excite her, but nothing would work. This includes dressing up, taking her to a fancy dinner, flowers, you know: the works. Oh, she'd get excited and we'd cuddle afterwards, but in the end she's the only one who would get anything out of it. I've tried different places besides the bed (only worked once) but she thinks it's "just wrong" to do it anywhere else.
The problem isn't getting her excited. Far from it. The problem is that except for once a month, all she cares about is getting herself off and leaving me awake and alone.
