Stress relief?

Question

My fiancé is so stressed and tired all the time. The poor guy works anywhere from 10-14 hours a day every Monday through Friday plus every other Saturday and Sunday. He works incredibly hard and I would love to help him unwind. When I ask him what I can do to help him lessen the stress he says nothing and just being supportive is enough. After a long day he just wants to cuddle and watch TV which is great and I look forward to that daily. I would just like to maybe try to help him out a bit. I know most of you will say "have sex!", or "give him a blowjob!" and occasionally he's in the mood for it, but not very often. His sex drive is low when he's overwhelmed with work and life and we are both very cautious about initiating or pushing anything sexual when the other is not in the mood. But I'm interested to know what you all do with your SO's to relieve stress or unwind after a long day.

Thanks for your input!

Answer

I give my hubby leg massages and back rubs. I fix his plate of dinner for him and bring it to him if he had a really bad day. Just little stuff that makes me feel like I'm helping and he really loves it.

Answer

Make his favorite meal and while cuddling and watching tv offer a back run or shoulder or foot rub. My man likes it when I rub his head lol like his temples

Answer

Give him a massage and try to listen

Answer

I cook him dinner, I rub his back, I listen to him vent about work. And we have sex every night. Even if he's tired there's a couple things that turn him on no matter what and make him go crazy, I do that. And then before bed we cuddle.

Answer

We use an essential oil blend of lavender and clary sage. He says it helps his mind to quiet from the day. And he adds a few drops of serenity to his shower and will just breath in the steam to relax. He likes it even better when I massage it into his feet and temples.

Answer

I totally get this. My hubby works 4 10hr days a week and then does a side job at least one other day for 8-12 hours and it's all very physically demanding labor, he's an electrician/contractor. To the women suggesting sex, it's not that simple when he's completely physically drained walking through the door! I let my hubby vent all he needs to, cook him a nice meal, and just go with the flow of how he needs to decompress. He'll play video games, watch his shows on TV, or walk the dogs with me, and that combined with just having me there not putting pressure on what needs to be happening typically helps him blow off the steam. He even decompresses enough to roll around in bed with me most of the time 😜

Answer

I would say give him a nice massage. It might help to take his mind of work and its from the person he loves.

Answer

Oh, you are describing my hubby! Yes, massages, his favorite food, a glass of wine, a TV show that he likes, going for a walk together. I also put some lavender oil on his wrists when I see he's very stressed - he says the smell is very pleasant and it calms him.
