I've been documenting everything and I'm now deciding what I want to do. I have to check with my attorney but I think full custody wouldn't be hard given her issues. I feel bad because she's a good mom most of the time, it's just during certain times she's fucking crazy and I worry when my daughter is with her during those drastic swings.

It only takes a few crazy minutes to make some colossal mistakes.

Sometimes I don't want to work at sex if I'm too tired. If I can rub one out in 3 minutes, I might do that.

Usually I don't, but sometimes. I've only turned my wife down twice ever, and both times were because I was tired as fuck.

From my experience you've turned her down more often than twice but probably only verbally said "no" twice. When you've rubbed one out you just don't care to put any effort into initiating sex on a night you probably could have had it. But like Deathwing said sometimes I don't feel like doing that song and dance and just take care of myself.

Maybe. I used to always have to initiate and got turned down a lot so stopped going so hard at it - if I was tired I would just rub one out instead.

As far as jerking off in 3 minutes, it's really no big deal. Lose the scented candles, bathrobe, kenny G CD, and skip the dialogue in porn and you can achieve it as well.

Believe in yourself.

Yeah, it depends on how long the whole sex ritual is, sometimes after a day or work and shit on my mind I'd rather just rub one out then go through the motions of whatever you guys do that leads up to that, worrying about how long it's going to take and making sure you're good to go too. Sometimes I just want to rub one out quickly and then relax.

You answered your own question. Sex is better but for a vast majority of men they don't get that enough (how much 'enough' is depends on the guy) so they resort to masturbation. In your case it sounds like you guys would do it almost every day so Cad is right, perhaps you need to ask him why.
Guys in long term relationships usually stabilize at wanting sex every 2-3 days. Mostly because of sperm armies and optimum sperm health. If he is masturbating in addition to that or instead of that, there is something else going on in all likelihood (be it physical, psychological, etc).

My wife can sympathize with lindz.
We typically had sex 7-10 times a week, but it has slowed down this summer. He has been really stressed and unhappy with work. He's writing a book and would really like to focus all his time on that but obviously still needs to work. It has left him feeling really down and in turn, his sex drive has been very low. This has been hard on me because mine is always high. I am constantly initiating and getting turned down, which leaves us both feeling like shit. He's not masturbating often, more as the occasional stress relief which I don't have a problem with that at all, just the lack of sex drive in general. We've talked about it, I told him I wasn't getting my needs met. He's been trying harder and I've been trying to nag about it less and it has been back to every day this past week. It just gets hard, in any relationship when one partner wants sex more than the other.

Implement an achievement system into your sex, lindz. Once he starts falling behind his friends in achievement score, he'll be all over it.

Maybe he's gay.

Well after a log sleepless night we talked some more and we are going to try to take things in peace and see where it takes us.
Out of curiosity, your story seemed to indicate that your wife has been pulling this shit for years, and years. Like 5+ years? That's significantly longer than 8 months. Why is she pregnant, then?

You know, I don't care about masturbation as long as it doesn't have a detrimental effect on my sex life. I get that sometimes guys need to blow off steam and take care of business themselves. Problem though, I have a much more active sex drive than my husband. It drives me bonkers when he gets stressed out with work and just takes care of it on his own then I get nothing. Sure I can do the same, but I'd rather not, it is just no where near as satisfying. Why the heck do you men do this? Makes for a cranky wife when I get turned down because of that.
Quite honestly, because it takes about 5 minutes, zero emotional energy, and you don't have to worry about another person's needs. And yes it's selfish, absolutely.

I wanted to have a child with her. It is not all bad, only from time to time. When it is bad the problem is that to get a point across she has to go to the extreme, aka divorce.

Let's just assume it is his. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU GET A CRAZY BITCH IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP PREGNANT???? is kind of what I was getting at.

Guessing it's not weiner issues if he's still masurbating. Stress, confidence issues, depression? Is he still attracted to you?

I'm thinking lendarios is Hispanic. He just couldn't help himself. The need to procreate is strong.
