What can you do when your wife is not in the mood?

Answer by  CarolynOsborne (2804)

Make a plan to be romantic (as she defines that). That may mean helping with the dishes, buying her favorite treat, taking her out to dinner, and so forth. Pretend you are still dating and you are trying to impress her. This is the most likely way to get all the way into her good graces.

I may be reaching for an explanation here, but my intuition is that your wife feels unloved, unappreciated and neglected, except and here is the catch, when YOU feel like a quick cuddle. An investment in dinners out, helping in the home with the kids and the housework, compliments, roses on your anniversary will certainly pay big dividends.

Make it impossible for her to refuse. Send the kids to the babysitters, do some of her chores, basically eliminate any excuse she might have. Then some how you have to let her think it is her idea, lead her in that direction, but let her make the moves. Run her a tub, that's always a starter.
