I sat my husband down and told him I don’t enjoy sex with him anymore.
I said it plainly. I’d rehearsed it in the shower for a week.
I said, “It feels like a chore.”
He didn’t argue.
He nodded slowly, the way he does when someone reads him a budget.
“Okay,” he said. “Thank you for telling me.”
That was it.
I expected a fight. I expected him to slam a door.
He opened his laptop.
I thought, he’s ignoring me. Again.
The next morning my phone buzzed at 7:12am.
A calendar invite.
“Thursday, 9:00pm. Duration: 1 hour. Location: Bedroom.”
Under description, he’d written:
“Per your feedback.”
I stared at it for a full minute.
I texted him: “Is this a joke?”
He replied: “No. You said it feels like a chore. I’m taking it seriously.”
Taking it seriously.
He’d added a reminder 24 hours before.
Then a second one, two hours before.
On Thursday at 8:58pm, he stood in the doorway with his phone in his hand.
“I’m on time,” he said.
I laughed, and then I stopped, because he wasn’t laughing.
He truly believed he’d solved it.

@AVenezuelan19 If you are getting ignored, maybe it is the men you are trying to attract that are ignoring you. Sometimes you have to broaden your scope.
450 miles - 4 and a half days - 108 loops of Laz's backyard. 108 decisions to start. Countless opportunities to quit. At least twice, blood was pouring from his nose. But, in this paradoxical endurance crucible, he is the only one who didn't reach his limit. BIG'S #backyardultra

SgtMaj Black’s 35 years of experience as an infantry Marine, a leader of Marines, and advisor to commanders at all levels makes him the ideal leader for this role. It’s great to see he will continue to set the example for all our warfighters in the Joint Force. @USMCSgtMaj
