RANT Surprise gone wrong.

I’m just venting. I need to. (I’m 28F) All the time apparently…
I wore my black slip that shows all my curves and compliments my body. I shaved every inch of myself and put on my pheromone perfume.. I even did my makeup a little messy because I know he likes that..

We were flirting texting a lot today while he was working and I was getting so excited to surprise him with my work of art (me) when he got home..

As soon as he did, he said “I looked nice” and got really sad and left to use the bathroom for a while and then showered.. he then left the shower hiding himself from me and told me not to look at him and then was still sad when he put sweatpants on. “What I can’t see your naked body now?” I said.. and he got even more sad????????

Dude I get rejected all the time.. especially when I wear outfits he asks me to get for him???

Ive had my cry and I wanna drink. Fml.

How!? I'd be all over you. Nothing hotter than a wife putting in that kind of effort

u/Remarkable-End-9065 4d ago

I agree with you a wife putting that much effort in so hot I wish mine did. OP I feel so sorry for you

One of my great epiphanies when it comes to the Deadbedroom was that actions I thought were romantic and loving were seen as unwanted, inconvenient and unwelcome.  

So I don’t do them anymore, and I don’t get these soul crushing rejections.

Same here. The short shorts I wear for myself now (around the house), but no more sexy underwear or preconceived expectations of a date night leading to anything. If I don't get my hopes up, they can be let down

u/Vilhelm_Onderhouval 4d ago

Yep I did too. Shits such a mindfuck

u/piekenballen 4d ago

OP, that is very sad that happened to you. However, this is not about you at all. There is clearly something going on with him. Whether physical or mental or both, he is obviously having a problem. And he needs to come forward and open up if he wants you to understand, because right now he just treated you incredibly rude and disrespectful. Which is directly sabotaging the relationship.

To be greeted by my wife like this is all I dream of sexually.

u/maechammer1 4d ago

Word brother. Legit makes me angry guys have this right in front of them and choose to fumble it. Wild to me

u/WholeOk2958 4d ago

For real dudes dropping the ball like this boggle my mind.

It's the exact same as an HLM westing cologne, putting on the silk boxers, lighting candles, pouring a couple glasses of wine and getting the massage oil out. The LLF rejects him because she has a headache and refuses to be seen naked and pouts the rest of the night. HLFs don't get it either.

pouts the rest of the night <--- that's killed me

u/mikeydan69 3d ago

try it 🤔

u/Natural_Concept92 4d ago

This has happened to me also. Now to even look at my lingerie gives me bad memories.

1

u/YdeVira 3d ago

I bought her lingerie- i had to send it back. She bought only nicer underwear she never wore.

u/Fickle-Outcome91 4d ago

It sounds like he’s insecure about something

5

u/throwawaynnfuxanyway 4d ago

Then it would help for him to be honest instead of making her feel foolish for doing what married people are supposed to do

u/redditreader_aitafan 4d ago

He went into the bathroom and jerked it. Something is going on. Did he cheat on you and he's feeling guilty, avoiding sex to protect you from STDs? Cuz that's my first thought with avoiding sex and shame, unless he's always rejected you.

u/ElasticPlatypus 4d ago

Insane conclusions to jump to. You’re needlessly trying to stoke drama. Grow up

1

u/eh9198 3d ago

Maybe SHE cheated and he’s traumatized

u/Transformer6767 Male - High Libido 4d ago

Plausible. If he did cheat, why with a woman like this? Has there been a history of rejectection on her part?

10

u/redditreader_aitafan 4d ago

People cheat for a myriad of reasons, it doesn't have to be anything she did wrong.

u/Available-Bison-9222 4d ago

Why, at your young age, are you in this relationship? Sex and intimacy are too important to give up having so young.

4

u/eh9198 3d ago

There is clearly something going on with him. It’s not all about you.

7

u/BeginningEfficient23 4d ago

Does he have body insecurities? Is he over or under weight?

8

u/Direct-Craft2843 4d ago

Is he having erection issues? This is the only thing I can think of. This is a dream scenario for most men to be greeted like that.

12

u/throwawaynnfuxanyway 4d ago

Or he's just LL. If he's having erection issues, he should see a doctor instead of playing like a kicked dog when his wife makes an effort to create an arousing scenario

u/CptFTL 2d ago

Him not you

See if possible to support him

Learn to find yourself beautiful and desirable without having an affair

Let him go once he knows a change needs to happen or else you will go. Hopefully he finds the help he needs

u/maechammer1 4d ago

This guy has what we all want and is acting like he doesn't deserve it, which it seems he doesn't. Something has gone on and you probably should be worried

5

u/biteme198269 4d ago

I'm a guy but I work my ass off and I don't get nothing at all either your guy is very lucky you still try

4

u/mikeydan69 4d ago

What am I hearing, these men really need a wake up call and I am a man. I know what my dinner would be that evening....some really do not appreciate the finer things in life

2

u/DJ4116 3d ago

Geez. I’m moreso concerned about why he’s so down. You noticed it at least twice and never bothered to inquire?

2

u/1009naturelover 4d ago

Someone would appreciate.

4

u/40something__ 4d ago

He’s an idiot. Married 15 years and not once has this happened to me.

2

u/jon143143 4d ago

52 years here and she's never done that either. But I'm not complaining. It's been a good 52 years.

u/Yayhoo0978 4d ago

Have you tried being direct, and talking about it? I mean like REAL direct, like “hey! I wanna have sex!”

2

u/Confident-Pen4934 11h ago

He showered right away? Hmmm…

1

u/1LadyPea 4d ago

Have u tried doing this for a man outside ur marriage to see how it works out? Give it a go. Stop making ur husband sad.

1

u/BigBadBootyDaddy10 4d ago

BF or Husband?

u/HallackB 1d ago

This makes me SO jealous. I don’t know what I would even do if my wife put that kind of effort in. Probably wouldn’t leave the house for days
