Reply To: “I Expect More Sex From My Wife of 15 Years”

It is low key hilarious that Shemp Howard’s list, which basically boils down to: do at least your fair share of household work and childcare, find out what your partner needs to feel good, don’t automatically expect or pressure your partner into sex, engage in intimacy that feels good (like a massage) without the explicit expectation that it will turn into sex, be a good listener, ensure your partner has time to themselves, and generally do thoughtful things like buy them gifts, is so outrageous and unacceptable that expecting those things is an excuse to Cheat. On. His. Wife.

The funny thing is, LW isn’t doing any of those and is still getting duty sex from his wife because she loves him. That list is the recipe to have a fulfilling and mutual sex life, not duty sex. But that is apparently so much to ask that dudio feels justified to lie, betray, and step out on his partner. My god, the entitlement is staggering.
