Rewarding

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my wife created a "Points Reward" system for the privilege of sex. 10 points for doing the dishes, 20 for the laundry, etc. How many points do I need before I can have sex with her? 2300. FML
I agree, your life sucks 79 512
You deserved it 17 516

Tell her that the lady down the street will do it for 100 so she had better rethink her bargain.

But wait, by the wife doing that isn't she punishing herself also? if not sex for him then not sex for her, unless..........

Speaking as a wife this is B.S.! Makes the rest of us look bad. I would never use sex as a reward. So not cool. I am not even sure how one would respnd to something like that.

I bet giving her head is 2300 points ;)

I've heard about those kind of points reward systems, the technical term for them is marital abuse. My advise is to set up a similar point system to show her how insane this is. If she wants you to do the dishes or the laundry, or any housework for that matter, she must collect a certain amount of points first. Points are awarded for sex.

Actually, I really agree with this. Not that you should do it with serious intent, but to show her how psychotic she's being, set up a reverse chart showing what chores you're willing to do in exchange for what sexual favors. Tell her you would never actually exchange chores for sex, but that's what she's doing to you and it's disgusting.

I wonder if OP has a job and pays for their lifestyle. I wonder how many "points" putting food on a table is worth?

yeah, because when you work you don't have to do housework. good call.

Pretty sure this isn't just about housework, seeing as he'd have to do the dishes 230 times to make his wife put out. And if you eat three meals a day for a month, that would only be 90 Points. It sounds to me like she expects him to do every chore in the house, in exchange for her putting out maybe once a month, if he's lucky. (Which is hooking by the way.) And since she sounds pretty frigid, she'll probably just lay there like some lifeless doll. And yes, to me, if he is working full time, especially if she's not, that should be taken into consideration. So to me this bull is about his wife not wanting to put out anymore and trying to force him to the breaking point so she won't have to woman up and tell him it's over herself. Either that or she likes the security of the relationship but not the sexual aspect, which is crap. So omg he should do housework!!! FLAIL isn't really taking into account her ridiculous demands in this situation.

Where did I say he shouldn't do housework? I'm just wondering if he is getting "points" for doing normal things that most people take for granted such as providing shelter, clothing, food etc. I don't know if OP does this stuff or not. It was just a thought, if you've already surrendered your man card Billy, it's ok with me.

Dick meet your old friend hand.

Ask her: How many points do I have to earn in order to do your sister? How many points do I have to earn to do the cheerleader down the street? How many points do I have to earn to do that sexy girl at work? How many points do I have to earn if I want to do some girl from a craigslist ad? Is 2300 points for missionary? or does that cover anal too? How many points for just a handjob? or a *******?

haha! I love it! you shouldn't be such a lazy ass, now work your ass off buddy haha

Dude, no lie, I'd divorce that bitch. sex isn't a privilege. I'd tell her to get off her high horse, move out, find a younger girl (after you file for divorce) and be happy.

So that's about once a month, IF you do ALL of the housework EVERY day. And will she even show any enthusiasm when you do have sex? Start figuring out your exit strategy now and then leave. Your marriage is clearly already over.
