Things your wife does that drives you bonkers

our sex count went down 10 fold when we went from queen to king

We had a queen sized bed, but I like my space. She is one of those who has to have her leg over you or some such shit all night long. Basically I could never get a full nights sleep like that. We went and upgraded our mattress about 5 years ago to a King. She complained that the king sized bed would mean we wouldn't be as close and she didn't like that. I never said it, but I was thinking "that's the fucking point". She was not real happy I held my ground on the king sized bed, but that's what I ended up buying.

Well, fast forward about 5 years, and she has mostly stopped sleeping in the middle of the bed with her leg slung over me at this point. Which I am fine with. But, it comes with a down side - sex frequency has also slid the wrong way. There is definitely a correlation between king sized bed vs queen sized and sex life sliding the wrong way IMO.

I found no correlation.

You insisted on the king-size bed and you must now be punished. It’s really very simple in her mind…….😎

one thing that's low key irritating is when she calls me just when she's bored like driving to work for no apparent reason, just to talk. I'm just chilling and enjoying a few moments away from talking all the time and out of nowhere I have to be present and find a topic of conversation or risk trouble later. bitch sometimes I'm just talked out, you don't have a podcast or something to listen to?

My wife calls me on my way home from work, asks “what are you doing?” And then proceeds to not say much else for 3 minutes before I tell her sounds good I’ll be home in a few

I've got a call from a client/co-worker/mom/whatever works I have to take. Been playing phone tag all day.

I get this all the time. I talk to kids all freaking day but I get criticized if I don’t want to talk during dinner. Apparently that means I’m losing interest.
 
I found no correlation.

Did your sex life suck regardless? If TMI I understand.

I have definitely found a correlation. But it may be some just the natural progression of a relationship going on many years now too. I do think if we had a queen sized bed, it would actually help our relationship overall though. This is something important to her, and I basically took it away. Over time, I feel there has been a negative effect on closeness while in bed. There is something to be said about physical closeness while sleeping and the frequency it leads to sex IMHO.

This is me every freaking day... Yesterday she had an orthodontic appointment. Got a call on her way there and on her way back to work.

The best though is when she calls as she's going to run an errand and 30 seconds into it is lkke "hey I need to call you back, I'm at the drive thru". Like you didn't know that's exactly where you were going and couldn't have managed that 30 second drive without me on the phone?

Sucks at times, good at times, no different before or after move to king sized bed. Been married 20+ years. A little less than half in king.

This is my wife too. For some reason whenever she is driving she has to talk to someone on the phone. I’m the opposite, I just want to listen to music or sit there in silence for once
 
I’m sitting In silence listening to Seger outside of my daughters’ recital.
Just dropped them and my wife off after hearing passive comments all morning likely related to not helping enough.

Sill the Same.
Stranger in Town is a great album.

Can’t wait to watch the girls. They’re pretty serious about it.
