Need some expert advice.

My intimate life with my H is in a slump.

I've always felt overwhelmed by the amount of work I do to keep the house and family running. I've told him many times that if he would help out at the end of the day we could get things done faster and have time together at night.

But the message is not getting through. He just keeps coming to me complaining that we don't have enough time together.

I think I'm being very clear about what I need and don't know how else to express to him that I cannot run the family and house on my own while he expects me to be frisky when i'm ready to drop at the end of the day.

Help.

MyLil,

How old are your children (& how many) and are you working - in addition to the work you do at home - outside the home?

Can you let the house work go for this weekend - let him see how much is getting done by you alone?
Have you tried giving him specific tasks to do instead of asking for general help?
I know I am being vague and that you have probably already done these things - that's why you're here. It's a bad feeling to not be appreciated.

There is just one thing I will say - try to be glad that he wants so badly to spend time with you. Many of us here are craving that attention.

I'm sorry but I won't be back on line until Monday.
Hopefully, someone else will post with some good advice for you before then.
