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..........

wow. I have been a lurker on here for years, and until now I have never read a FML that actually caused me to sign up so I could comment. OP, that is SERIOUSLY messed up. There is no place for that in a marriage. Intimacy should not be contingent on a points system. Hell, it really shouldn't be contingent on anything but physical stamina. I have never once told my husband that I wouldn't have sex unless I was really busy and literally did not have the time, or really really sick. Your wife is a frigid bitch who really needs to re-evaluate her priorities. No woman who really loved her husband would seriously make sex contingent on chores. Sure, that's a way to get your kids to do what their told, but they're being rewarded with extras.. not bare necessities.. and sex IS a necessity for a healthy, happy marriage. Even if it's not sex, intimacy between spouses is IMMENSELY important.. When neither my husband nor I are physically capable of having sex, we at least make time for each other, and snuggle while relaxing.. I really hope she hasn't deprived you of all physical contact. In reality, if she has, you have grounds for immediate divorce. That is spousal abuse and should not be tolerated. I would suggest that you two see a marriage counselor NOW.. and find out what the real root of this is.. If she refuses or goes, and still demands you perform these ridiculous acts for minimal physicality.. get a divorce and find a woman who is willing to consider you her equal, and not deprive you of basic human needs. Seriously.

He is not treating her as an equal by making her do all the housework. What he needs to do is grab the bloody hoover and get to work. he'll soon see the 2300 points is an imaginary number and all his wife is looking for is some help with housework This is NOT any form of mental or spousal abuse

She should find something else to "reward" him with. I'm sorry, but sex is NOT something that should be used as a method of payment for goods or services between spouses. And also, there's nothing to say he doesn't do anything.. for all we know, he works 90 hour work weeks to keep up a lavish lifestyle for her, and is too tired to vacuum on weekends... in which case, she should get off of HER lazy ass, quit the bonbons, and screw her husband on occasion.

In all seriousness, make a points reward system, she gains 10 points every time she does something sexual for you, and if she doesn't have 100 points by the end of the month you get to go out and have sex with another woman. seems harsh but she shouldn't be putting you on a leash like that

don't talk about sex with for a while act like you dont care she will come back around a garantee it

it's not like she isn't going to want some before you get to 2300 in 2 years. don't be sad. it sounds like she is fed up with her day to day. why else would she set such a low value on things she apparently usually does herself?

She is charging a fee for sex...we have a word for that.

thats what a strip club is for..or just go find a ***** house..your wifes stingy as hell

I suggest you add "Sex with someone other than wife - 0 points" and "Sex with someone other than Husband - 1 Trillion points" to the board. See how she likes that!
