My wonderful, intelligent, charming, and incredibly attractive partner, we need to chat.
Our relationship is built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. You are the love of my life, the parent of our children, and quite the catch! With that said, I believe we can have this conversation without hurt feelings, allowing us to strengthen our bond and our marriage.
Just to clarify, my swatting you away and muttering, “I literally just fell asleep, come on!” may not have conveyed my message clearly enough. Let me state this unequivocally: When I slip into my pajamas, crawl under the blankets, and turn off the lights, my body is signaling that the fun zone is currently closed. My body is in sleep mode, and any attempts to disturb that will only result in frustration.
I absolutely adore intimacy with you, but I cherish sleep just as much. Once I’m ready to drift off, there’s no turning back. You could dangle a dazzling, blissful experience in front of me, and my response would be a firm “please, not now.”
So, please, don’t poke me or play any romantic tunes. I might accidentally give you an elbow to the ribs. The mouth guard I wear at night should serve as a clear indicator — it’s like a neon sign flashing “sleep mode activated!”
Today was filled with cleaning, cooking for our little ones, and dealing with the aftermath of their messes. I know you had a long day too — and I’m not trying to downplay that. I can only imagine the challenges you faced. But let me be clear: being tired doesn’t mean I’m uninterested in intimacy. It simply means I need to recharge my batteries before I can engage in anything else.
You may not realize this since you have the superpower of falling asleep almost instantly, but sex has a way of waking me up. That overachieving parent from the PTA? I know her secret: it’s late-night romps and a caffeine fix. I can’t keep up with that lifestyle without a little help, like what you’d find at this home insemination kit, which explains the benefits of home insemination.
Any other time of day, I’m completely on board. Morning showers? Count me in. Naptime? Let’s make it happen! But once I’m in bed, it’s a different story.
Even if you’re in the mood just before I hit the sheets, I’m game. If I come out from brushing my teeth and hear Marvin Gaye serenading us, I’ll say, “Absolutely! Let’s do this!” But that’s the last moment of the evening when I’m still awake enough to consider it.
This isn’t a rejection; it’s about taking care of myself. I need to get some rest to tackle tomorrow’s to-do list. But rest assured, this doesn’t mean I’m forgetting you. I’ll be ready to reconnect soon.
With love, Your attentive, considerate, and well-rested partner.
