Today, my wife made me a Sex Rewards Chart, where I get points by doing chores and such, and 50 points gets me some action. She refuses to even look at me if I haven't earned the points, and is contemplating sleeping alone in the guest room until I earn more points. FML

I feel a bit torn on who to side with. On one hand, I don't think sex should ever be seriously used as a bribe/punishment. On the other hand, I've seen many instances where both the man and woman have full time jobs, but only the wife cooks and cleans while the guy sits around adding to the mess doing nothing to help out. I even dated an otherwise nice guy who expressed a desire for that kind of relationship(didn't date him long). If this is the case I can understand the wife's frustration, even if I don't think she choose the best method to try and fix it. Of course, I don't know what the exact situation is, so I'll stay neutral on this.

#341, that's the way it's been done since the beginning of time. Get over it.

#341: My parents are living proof of that theory. In fact, my step-dad has recently been collecting unemployment due to decreases in hours, yet he still feels that my mom should clean the house, cook the meals, wash the clothes, etc., just because his mother did everything for him, being raised in a stereotypical "man's the breadwinner, woman's the housewife" setting. As a result, he sits at home, watches Jerry Springer and ****, leaves candy wrappers around the house, and emails women on social dating sites daily (believe me, I've seen his inbox).

Obviously you should help around the house, but to withhold sex from you is just plain cruel & controlling...time to get couples counseling or a divorce...that is, unless you enjoy remaining in a sexless marriage & you want to have to "take things into your own hands" for the next 20-50 yrs.

Sex is an important part of relationships and should NEVER, EVER be used as a reward! She is objectifying herself in your eyes (even if only subconsciously). You should help more around the house, but this isn't the way to get you to do it. If she can so easily go without you, consider talking to her about it because if all she wants from you is to help do chores and not be your PARTNER, then you are wasting your life with this person. Seriously consider marriage counseling and/or a divorce. Not kidding OP, nip this in the bud NOW!

If she thinks sex is a way to reinforce positive behavior, you might as well start filing for divorce now. She obviously has control issues.

You should see if a Capital One card can get you double points.

Obviously you need to help out around the house more you lazy ******* arsehole!

Why haven't you packed your bags yet? Do you enjoy being manipulated?

Tell her: "That's ok. I've got plenty of female coworkers."
