    My boyfriend gets cranky when I dont want to have sex with him. He sees it as I get it when I want it but he doesnt get it when he wants it. It makes me feel like I dont have a choice in the matter and I have to do it even when I dont want to. We used to do it alot and I liked it, but the few times I say no, has made him so angry, that I rarely feel like I want to, it has almost made me unattracted to him all together. Is there anything that I can do to save our relationship and sex life?

    Before I answer, I’d like a little more information. 😉

    How old are the two of you and how long have you been dating?

    How often do you have sex, and has the frequency changed, and if so, when? And why?

    [quote]but the few times I say no… [/quote]

    Is it really a few times? Three? In the course of a week? A month? A year?

    Thanks for the extra information and I’ll get back to you as soon as I hear from you. 😀

    We are both 20, used to have sex pretty much everyday we were together. Now its maybe every second day… maybe 2 days in between. It changed when we moved in together, because I started school so I am more stressed, and then when he started getting more angry about it, it makes me want to less and he doesnt understand that. We have been dating for almost 2 and a half years. I say no maybe 2 times a week because I am studying, or I just am not in the mood, and any other time we dont it is because he is tired and just goes to bed… which I never get angry about.

    It sounds like you have a minor incompatibility, sexually, but that it’s really a result of your more stressful schedule. Here are some tips and pieces of advice to deal with the problem:

    1.Try and diffuse the situation when you turn him down. In other words, tell him how great he is and how much you love him, but that you’re just swimming in stress and if he gives you a night off, you’ll make it up to him the next time. In other words, don’t give him a cold rejection. Warm it up a little.

    2. Every once in a while, when you feel like turning him down, don’t, because you’d expect the same from him in return. Compromise and generosity make relationships work when there are differences like this one.

    3. When you’re not in the bedroom, tell him how much you appreciate his giving you a break every now and then, and that you find him incredibly attractive, but while you’ve got this stress of school, you just think he’s even greater than before because he’s mature enough to make this compromise for you now and then.

    See if that works, and let me know!

    Yes, thank you! I will definitely give it a try. I can see it not working because of how far its gotten already and he will probably see it as another excuse… But I really hope it will work! I wish I would have had this advice from the beginning!
