my husband is home and I want to have sex but he doesn't feel well?

My husband works a LOT and so we rarely get any time together, plus we have a teenager in the house so finding the time to have sex is difficult. My son's at work right now but my husband came home from work early because he's not feeling well. When he called me a while ago and said he was coming home early I jumped in the shower and cleaned up, but I didn't know he was coming home because he didn't feel well. Now he's home and I'm embarrassed because I'm sitting here in just my robe and he wants to take a nap because he's sick. Should I approach him about sex or let him rest? I feel silly even asking this...

    Do neither. Yes, I mean that. Tell him you will let him rest in a bit but want to have a quick conversation with him about something very important to you. Explain, nicely, that you have realized lately that life is getting in the way of a relationship and that's not what you want for your future. Explain part of a good relationship is finding time for intimacy. You'll probably find he wants the same thing, but probably not right at this moment. Then you two agree to discuss this further after he has a nap. Later on discuss date nights, which doesn't have to mean going out.

    Then while your husband is sleeping it's time to have a frank conversation with your teenager. Tell the teen it's time they spend some time at their friends homes and gets out of the house now and then. Tell them you are willing to drop them off at the library for study time if necessary. They have computers there too. Explain carefully that a marriage needs some time alone. That you aren't asking for nightly time alone, but a day or two a week would be very helpful. And that to let you know when they are on their way home so you can prepare. Explain they wouldn't like to walk in on something they don't want to see. As teens, not much more than sex is on their minds anyway, so this will gross them out but also they will understand even though they don't want too. Explain mom and dad time are important to any marriage.

    After that conversation run to the store and get some canned soup or stuff for home made (your choice) so you can feed it to the hubby, but also pick up two of those sliding locks (not the kind with a chain). One goes on your bedroom door and cannot be opened for any reason and one for the front door. So if you two have enough fun and end up in the living room no one can walk in, even with a key. You can also buy yourself a small radio for your bedroom or radio with cd player and play it loud during the time when you and daddy go into the bedroom and need mom and dad time.

    Go for the sex. But you be on top and do most of the work. He will love it. Then take a nice nap afterwards

    From a mans point of view i would definitely want you to approach me with sex even if im sick. I might not be able to do much as far as please you orally or if im really sick might not even be able to be the one doing alot of moving but ill still be able to get hard and finish. And yes it might even make me feel better after ;)

    Leave the guy alone. He doesn't feel well. Geez Louise. Why would you want to have sex with someone when they're sick? Make him some soup and be a wife.

    Take a nap with him and see what happens from there. I have had the sickest, most tired man in my bed and have been able to turn it around with some subtle persuasion.

    I've found that a guy is never too sick to have sex. At least it will make him sleep better. I'd say something and the worst thing that can happen is he'll say no.

    You really should ask him. There are differing levels of feeling bad. He may be at a level that allows you to get your groove on. Good luck.

    Maybe ask him if sex might make him feel better and if not then let him rest

    If you were sick, would you want to be pestered for sex or would you want to be allowed to rest?
