Hi Nelly - what a great post! Several of my freinds say that Will and I exemplify the best marriage they have ever seen and they see us as the perfect couple and all, but I worry when I get sick and don't want to have sex for sometimes a week or more - really, I just don't feel up to it and I feel bad because he'll try to...well...start things up...and I just wriggle away because my tummy hurts or I'm exhausted and I feel sad about it and like I'm not being a good wife to him. We do better with the never fighting thing...we almost never argue, and the few times we have we appolagize and work things out. He's good at helping me work out my feelings when they get bottled up inside my head - if he didn't help me it would be LOTS worse. I know you've gone through times of being really sick before too, do you think it's normal for a couple's sex life to suffer a bit when you're sick? He says he understands and he never gets upset with me about it or anything (we've actually gotten pretty good at talking about it) but I still feel bad when that happens. Just guilty stuff I guess. Still, good post on important things to remember! Go home tonight and make hubby happy! He thanks you!
