May 2010 Expecting Club

Absolutely.  This is no surprise to me at all (and actually, I had heard if before).  My DH does a lot around the house.  Before I was pregnant, he did almost all the cleaning and I did almost all the cooking.  Unfortunately, now he tends to do most of everything, but I'm looking forward to feeling better and evening things up a little.  Since we've been married, I've maybe said no to his twice, and that was because something else was going on with me.  He gets as much as he wants, pretty much whenever he wants, and I love it :)  Even now that I'm not feeling great, and don't really feel like doing it, we still do it whenever he asks because he's such a great guy, makes me feel so good (even when I feel so bad), and unless I'm feeling like I'm feeling super bad, I'm totally up for it.  He's also very considerate and asks a lot less because he knows I'm feeling bad.  So it's 1-2x/week vs 4-5x/week before.  He's an incredible man, I love him very much, and our brain is the biggest sexual organ we have!

Definatly, On one hand it's easier to focus on what's at hand if the house is picked up, and you're not tripping on your way to the bedroom, or thinking you have to change laundry afterward, before falling asleep so you  have clothes for the next day. On the other I always tell DH he looks sexiest when he's folding clothes (one thing I hate doing) in his boxers.

In all honesty I do most of the "housework" but then I'm also a SAHM. DH is really good about helping if I ask. Now if I could just get him to notice before I need to ask ;-). 

Parenting responsibilities are at least equal if not him taking more then half when he's at home. Mostly because the boys have had enough of me and want daddy time and are looking for his attention. Plus he's figured out that I need a break from being "touched" if I'm going to be touched more later lol.  Now with this baby I'm pushing to try cloth diapers so I may end up with more then my 50% of the diapering duty if I get him to go along with it and try it, but I'm sure he'll make it up in other ways.

I guess if DH helped out more I wouldn't be so exhausted at the end of the day so I'd say yes.  In fact, I read that if you are resentful toward your partner it will show up somewhere in relationship and sex usually being the first place to look.
