For
a whole month, the 26-year-old sexually-frustrated husband jotted down every
response from his other half when he asked her for intimacy. He then
collated the information and put it into an Excel document before cruelly
emailing her as she arrived at an airport ahead of a ten-day business trip.
Her
replies included ‘I’m exhausted’, ‘I need a shower (didn’t shower)’, ‘I’m
trying to watch the movie (fell asleep 15 mins later)’ and ‘I’m not feeling too
well’.
Shocked
at the email, the anonymous woman, also aged 26, tried to get in touch with her
husband but he failed to return her calls.
In
the end, she decided to share her husband’s harsh behaviour with users of
Reddit by uploading the spreadsheet. She explained the couple had been together
for five years in total but been married for last two. Although they had no
kids, they bought a house together five months ago.
The spreadsheet was passed around by
users of social media after the wife made it public
‘Our
lives have been crazy busy,’ she wrote. ‘We spent all spring renovating our new
house. At my job I was given nearly double my usual workload after some of my
colleagues were laid off. I gained some weight in the winter and have been
busting my a** at the gym to get rid of it.’
She
then wrote: ‘Yesterday morning, while in a taxi on the way to the airport,
husband sends a message to my work email which is connected to my phone. ‘He’s
never done this, we always communicate in person or by text. I open it up, and
it’s a sarcastic diatribe basically saying he won’t miss me for the 10 days I’m
gone.
‘Attached
is a SPREADSHEET of all the times he has tried to initiate sex since June 1,
with a column for my “excuses”, using verbatim quotes of why I didn’t feel like
having sex at that very moment.’ The spreadsheet, which has since been deleted,
was quickly spread around the internet with web users taking both sides in the
debate.
Most
people slammed the husband’s ‘immaturity’ and said he should have made his
point in a different way.
One Reddit user wrote: ‘There are so many ways this could have been communicated better, but instead he came up with some bizarre hit and run with a spreadsheet method which I’d say is actually going to be really hard to come back to a normal relationship from.’
Another
said: ‘Your husband is expressing LEGITIMATE concerns in an extremely immature
and passive aggressive way.
‘Clearly, the communication style in your relationship is s**t. Fix it or don’t, it’s your marriage.’
One
added: ‘Maybe her husband has got sick and tired of being totally and utterly
ignored for months on end, has had enough and wants resolution to the issue.
This time, after all attempts, he has got her attention.’
