Pull yourself together, man!

Today, I've stopped smoking, lost 30 pounds, taken several painful tests, and checked my ovulation daily in an effort to get pregnant. My husband has only had one task during the entire process, and after hours of gaming, he says he's just too tired to have sex. FML

Sorry OP. Those are awesome achievements and they say a lot about your character and devotion. Hopefully you will be a mother soon! Good luck with your husband!

Some people do change after having a kid, that's true. However, quite a few don't, and to put a child in a potentially less than desirable situation with an uninvolved, uncaring father, that's just very unfair to the kid.

I wish everyone would stop overthinking everything. If he's not in the mood for one night it's not the end of the world and it doesn't mean he might not be a good parent. If this was the wife not in the mood it would be a different story. You can't pressure someone into having sex if they're just not feeling it.

Maybe have a talk to your husband? He might not be as on board with this as you are. Those are some incredible changes you've made though, OP - massive congrats to you and best of luck.

So by the husband saying he's too tired for sex it means he will be a terrible father, terrible husband and should be divorced as soon as possible.... I don't get it... What if the genders were swapped on this story, what then?

And what if he wasn't in the mood and that's his way of expressing it? Just because OP went through all that work doesn't mean her husband needs to be ready to have sex the second she wants it

Wow I just love this comment chain. Everyone's saying he's a shitty person because he didn't want to have sex with his wife a few times. Huge double standard here if you switch the roles just saying.

Not necessarily that. The fact that having sex was his only job shows how much he's contributing in this relationship. If the roles were switched, I'd be on his side. Marriage and parenting needs equal contribution. Those with unequal contribution usually are very unfair and unsuccessful.

What's wrong with saying no to sex **** off women, sex isn't one sided.

Losing 30 pounds in one day is dangerous, if not lethal!! (yes that's a joke)

Now, think: if he's too tired to have sex, is he going to be your equal partner in raising children together? To me, it seems like you're doing all the work and he's contributing nothing. Sorry, OP, but I suggest that you reevaluate your relationship. Good luck! :)

What in the world kind of games does your husband play that he's too tired to have sex afterward? Sounds like he needs to get his priorities straight. Or does he perhaps not want kids? If that's the case, you should probably discuss it. If you have and he does want kids, well, he has to grow up then.
