Denied

So last night me and my boyfriend went to the gym together and worked real hard etc...

We got home and I jumped in the shower, and I thought well maybe we’ll have a different type of workout when we go to bed, so actually shaved and moisturised and basically went to more effort than normal to make myself feel nice.

I made my intentions completely clear, and he was like ‘no sweetie, I’m too tired, my legs hurt too much’ ....

I didn’t push it, and was like fine - obviously I’m not going to force the issue.

But I did feel really insecure and embarrassed, I don’t enjoy putting myself out there to just get told no...

How do people deal with it, trying again...?

He’s so dense normally, he moans about us not having enough sex but I feel like I make it so obvious what I want and make the first move but it’s him saying no to me rather than the other way around
