Hi, guys. (I’m 52 F he’s 47 M)Sure I’ve posted about my relationship problems a zillion times but I’m one of those people who constantly needs to rehash my problems. I’m a female who’s been with my boyfriend for 4 years. He literally told me that he wants sex everyday. That I have to visibly enjoy it and want it. He said that this is how men show love. That I have to want to clean the house even though his two offspring 19 and 20 year old sons live there (and I don’t right now). I should dress nicer (I’m a T-shirt and jeans woman). He says he trys to dress nice for me (lays around in boxers) and wears tshirts and jeans if we go anywhere. He said I need to take his advice when I ask for it and not ask anyone else. He says I need to be more positive (I’m a long time depression sufferer). He doesn’t ask me about my day and when we “talk” it’s me listening and him talking and when I try to inteject, he says, “Wait” or "Hold on’ and I have to let him finish. For a background, I’m 52 years old with nothing going for me but a full time job, 4 cats and a house. He’s 47, full time job and a house with 3 young adults. He describes himself as an “Alpha Male”. I’m scared to be alone and would be fine with just seeing someone exclusively but a couple times a week. I get up at 5 everyday and when work ends at 2 I’m tired. Like I said, I’ve posted a lot about this but that’s just who I am. Please don’t be mean. Anyone else been through this? Is he being totally unreasonable? He says if 2 people are together they should want to have sex everyday. At my age and the honeymoon phase being over I can’t even imagine keeping up with his demands. We do have fun watching movies or going out to eat, so there’s that.
Please be kind with advice on helping me figure out this shit show. Thanks, guys.
TL; DR. My boyfriend of 4 years wants sex everyday, wants more than I think I can give. What do I do?
