My wife (28LLF) and I (28HLM) will have disappointing sex maybe once a month if I initiate it and don’t get rejected, and I’ve reluctantly got used to that being how it is, but today took me by surprise.

She started to initiate in the middle of the day out of seemingly nowhere - kissing, running her hands over me, climbing on top - which is incredibly out of character but was very welcome. This went on for several minutes before she stopped and said ‘maybe we should save this for tonight?’ - why would you do that just to leave me hanging, but I thought tonight was better than nothing.

I was looking forward to that all afternoon and evening, but then predictably she went up to bed early without even a mention of it. When I came up and mentioned it I just got a ‘I’m too tired, we can tomorrow instead’… yeah, I won’t hold my breath.

How silly of me thinking my wife might actually be interested in sex with me for once
