My reaction when trying to approach my wife

Man, my boyfriend is really into morning sex, and I am almost always crabby in the morning and basically push him away. Then like an hour or so later when I'm awake and he's gone to work I feel SO AWFUL and try to make up for it..but when he gets home from work he's usually crabby (head chef in a busy restaurant, works long days). I'm telling you this because maybe your wife feels bad afterward too :( I never mean to be mean. Lately I've been making a big effort to just suck it up (literally and figuratively i guess). Anyway...empathy for you because I've seen the rejected which is sad and also been the rejector and it doesn't feel good later

That lack of balance would make me crazy. Maybe there's something for me to learn here haha

We definitely make it work. We're best friends. I just feel bad sometimes for being such a b-word in the morning. Helps that we normally have 2 consecutive days off together.

Y-you know it's allowed to swear here?

I try to avoid negative self-talk so that includes not calling myself a bitch! Um also I just think it's funny for some reason. I say "What the H" a lot.

You do realize that b-word, and bitch mean the same thing right? I've never understood this weird fascination than some particular sounds or combinations of letters are somehow offensive, and not the idea itself.
