Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I don't think she thought he was serious at first but then she refused. His brother found out coz she told him and he told me about it. He just said so what have you seen her she's gorgeous

RD - I really don't know why a refusal to do something that nobody actually HAS to do and that most people wouldn't want to do with an unwilling partner seems to lead to such a lot of strife. My view of sex is that it's something that both parties have to want to do or there's no point in doing it. that might seem simplistic but I don't subscribe to the "do it to keep the peace" idea at all - if the peace is that rocky then perhaps other things need to be looked at. Everyone's circumstances are different, I suppose.
I've certainly had times in the immediate aftermath of childbirth, for instance, when I haven't felt remotely like having sex. If my husband had fallen out with me over that or given the impression that he thought I "ought" to be doing it, I doubt we'd still be married. Currently, I;m coming up to the age when I should expect the menopause and I have no idea what that might mean physically. I doubt I'll go off my husband but perhaps I WILL go off sex - what then? If he leaves me over that, I'll be devastated after all we've been through but that will be his choice.
What I do know is if I ever heard my husband had been talking freely about how little (or how much) sex he thinks he's getting as if it's something that I should be "giving" him as of right rather than as something we do by mutual consent we'd be having some very stern words and it would mark a fundamental change in our partnership.
