DH and I have been arguing quit a bit lately.  Bickering, fighting, arguing......whatever you want to call it, we've been doing it.  My DH still wants to have sex even if we're not getting along.  I typcially don't.  But for some reason I really want that physical connection.  I mean he's who I get the physical stuff from, so eventhough we're not getting along I still want the physical intimacy. 

My main issue is I don't want him to think everything is ok after we have sex.  How do you separate the two?

Well, here's a little update.  Dev got home pretty late last night and I was ready for bed.  So I got in the bed and started falling asleep.  He woke me up and we had sex.  I really wasn't into it for the climax just the closeness.  He wanted me to, but I told him I was tired.  We did get in a heated argument this morning, but it actually helped us get some important things out.  So now we're getting along again! :)

Well I'm glad to see you guys are getting along better now. Sometimes arguments have to happen for the best of it.

About the subject, though.. I don't know. I seem to always want to have sex and SO just doesn't. I don't like to be rejected so I just let it go and deal with it on his terms, which kinda sucks a bit.

When Jokes and I argue we usually don't touch at all until we talk things out. I was recently hurt by something he did and no matter how sad it made me that I couldn't just hug him or have sex, I needed him to really hear how he made me feel and see that I was really affected by it. If I had sex with him while we were arguing to me it would be like waving that white flag. Some people can keep the two separate, but with me if we are fighting then you are going to know you are in the dog house.

Jokes and I try to have some quiet time when we can just talk about things. Usually this is after sex or in the mornings when he is waking up. (I get up way before he does) The talk time is time to talk and try to listen to each other. Although I try not to come across as judging or talking down to him it is really hard to share my feelings with out attaching them to things of the past. Sometimes we just simmer things down and chalk it up to a tie so that we can move forward with life. This can bite you in the rear if you hold grudges *cough* like I do. Still learning how to just live and let live. So for your answer .. no, we don't have sex while we are arguing.

I can understand that feeling. When you're fighting - who wants to think about being intimate? I can also - almost - see how the men who have those 'one track minds' can have such a need that they can't communicate well with other things on their mind... and how that could snowball so easily.

Maybe it was one of those 1950's housewife manuals (you know the ones I'm thinking about - that were probably written by men. LOL) but I remember hearing that you shouldn't withhold sex even while fighting. I tried to find some information to share but could find nothing specifically in that direction.

I do like the article here about how men who clean get more sex. :)
