Family first... yeah right

As you can see I'm slacking on my quest... getting 45 minutes alone with my husband 3 times a week is a lot harder than it sounds. Especially when we had a birthday party to plan for our 12 year old this week. We did manage to fit in 2, 45 minute sessions. Not much was accomplished.
Our first session was on Friday the 8th. Earlier in the week my husband had gone to The Meadows Buffett with his culinary arts class and he wanted me to see what it was like so off we went. I personally was not impressed, I was also tired due to only having 4 hours of sleep. (The night before was my "Monday" and when you were graveyard the first night is always the hardest.) Our conversation mainly consisted on the orange chicken not being so good. We did however enjoy tasting the dessert table. It was hard to keep my husband talking at the table he's the type that after he eats he wants to leave, no idle chit chat. We made it though! The other topic of discussion was our 12 year old's birthday party. Who was coming, how he was going to get the cake done, who was going to take the kids to the football game... we have yet to have a session where we don't discuss our kids...

Our second session was Saturday evening. After the birthday party and everyone I made sure I got ready for work early so we could spend some quality time together before I went to work. We discussed how my oldest son who has Asperger's Syndrome was so thrilled with his gifts, how we were happy he finally had a couple friends over as this was a huge step for him. Again our discussion was based on the kids.

In between sessions we do get time to talk. Our issue this week is my husband wanting more affection from me. I am not a cuddler, I don't like to hug, I don't like to kiss, I don't like to hold hands. I hate that stuff. It's awkward and uncomfortable to me. My husband needs physical touch to feel loved. I seriously could go the next 6 months without having sex and be fine. My husband thinks he needs sex 5 times a day to survive. He is constantly groping me and saying stuff in regards to us having sex. I hate it and can't force myself to have sex more than once a week. He says I should try harder, I say he should try harder at leaving me the hell alone. This is a huge problem in our relationship and I have a feeling it's going to come to blows this coming week. Stay tuned.....
