If the baby cries, ignore the crying. If you can't easily ignore crying, turn on the TV or the stereo so that the sound it creates will drown out the baby's noise.
He's not the one who published the document. Why is he a piece of crap? He is trying to communicate with his wife in a very direct way and she throws it in his face.
Actually I would say he is communicating with her in a very passive aggressive way. They are both idiots.
Romani, I was with you about making time and simplifying life, but you're not being realistic. Cranking up the stereo to drown out a crying baby is not a solution. Families used to live in caves and huts, none of these rooms and doors and stereos. Sometimes you just have to be quiet and patient when there are other people around, and young ones need attention. When they're a little older they can watch Monsters Inc. and leave you alone for a while. Sex should be a priority, but it's not the only one. I say this as a wife who has to be patient at times.
No children. However, what's the big deal? Put 'em to bed, wait 15-30 minutes to make sure they're asleep, and then scorch the sheets. Or, just lock the freaking door and tell the kids that if they dare to knock, or come to the door and call for you, when there's no blood or puke on the floor, they will be grounded without video games or play dates for a month. If the baby cries, ignore the crying. If you can't easily ignore crying, turn on the TV or the stereo so that the sound it creates will drown out the baby's noise. Have sex when the baby is asleep. There are plenty of ways around this.

Romani - It's obvious that you don't have children. No offense - but you have no idea what you are talking about. And our marriage is a lifetime commitment - it's not contingent on having sex every day. There are times when we get to have sex a lot - and there are times when other things are going to come first. If you've never had a baby - it's something that you just can't understand. This stage doesn't last forever and we look forward to having a fabulous sex life again - but we still love each other very much and have a wonderful relationship even if we don't get to do it as much as we would like.
But giving advice on how to have sex when you have children when you don't actually have children is a bit like me telling men how they can masturbate better.
It looks like she's timing her "yes" to every 10 days i.e. 2 to 3 times a month. She's pared it down to the bare minimum of obligation sex. I feel bad for the husband, he was probably desperate and resorted to the spreadsheet because talking to her (all the "non verbals") probably didn't work. I don't think his situation is unique unfortunately.
We don't have major problems. We have a baby and a toddler.
Yeah...no kidding.
With 2 of my kids I was on bedrest/pelvic rest. That was no sex for 6 months with one of them and another 4 months or so with the other.
We've had to abstain when he had a vasectomy, because it didn't go quite as planned and he had some minor issues afterwards. We are abstaining now because I have a tailbone injury and while we've tried, there isn't a position that is comfortable and them I'm sore for days afterwards.
Sometimes his job is just so stressful and busy that he's not in the mood...and I can respect that because at times I'm in the same position.
There are times in our life when it's just not possible. Thankfully, we don't keep calendars on frequency. If it's an issue we just discuss it.
Several days prior to a PSA blood test. Recent activity increases the number and causes your urologist to wish to perform yet another prostate biopsy.
Well, who WOULDN'T want another prostate biopsy!
