I'm 27, soon to be 28, and dating a 22 year old for the last 2 years. For the first 6 months or so, everything was great between us. Things got a little bumpy, but we worked it out, because we were crazy about each other. Then drama from living apart (her with a room-mate that hated my guts) made it hard to meet up. We still managed it, though rarely. Then she finally moved in with her dad (just a tad awkward).
Ever since then, I seem less and less important. We see one another maybe weekly. Last time she didn't even pause her YouTube video to get up and hug me. We barely have any... INTIMACY. I'm the one initiating such encounters exclusively. And when I get frustrated (or after a long enough wait, PISSY), she claims sex is all I care about. Now I find this both disturbing and strange, as she is the younger of us.
I help clean up their house, though I spend one night at a time there. Last I visited, the same load of dishes I washed was still in the dishwasher, and BOTH sinks were full. The cat box is a solid mass. The dogs that aren't supposed to be there can only go out at night, to avoid detection. They don't get taken out at night. Guess where they do their business. Now guess who cleans it up. THIS guy.
Now, I love her. No B.S. I'm very invested. All I hear about is how I'm obsessed with sex, angry all the time, and need to change. When I mention the changes I need though... Hiroshima has NOTHING on the hell that gets called down. I always get a lecture about how petty my requests are, and how they're just small things. But if they're such small things, why can't they get done? And does anyone else think that being intimate with your spouse once a week is too much to ask?
Basically, what I need, is a different way to say "This is unacceptable", that will get RESULTS, instead of a THERMONUCLEAR DETONATION. I'm not perfect either, but I'm fixing my issues. I don't see any effort from her... as I WORK my HAIRY MAN-BOOBS OFF! All she does is put herself down, and accept that she will never be good enough. She has actually said things to this effect SEVERAL TIMES. And every time, I disagree, say that it's her choice, and she can be what she WANTS to be. We're taking a week to cool off, and once that time's up, I'll need a plan here. If anyone has dealt with a situation similar to this one, PLEASE HELP ME.
