Malaise
OK, I can take a hint. Where did the last couple of weeks go, I wonder?
Things have been a bit quiet with us sex-wise lately. Not non-existent by any means, but quietish by our usual standards. Life gets in the way and all that.
For one thing we are trying to sell our house at the moment. Trying to keep our house tidy all the time with two untidy teenagers and a moulting dog is a nightmare. Plus there’s the uncertainty factor. How long will it take to sell the house, how much will we get for it, will we find the right house for us to buy…? I guess you could say that we’re a little preoccupied right now.
For another thing Son has dropped out of school. He’s planning to go to college next September, but in the meantime he is home all day. So no wild, vocal sex during the day on Sue’s days off. We may have a solution to that little problem soon, though.
Also, Sue’s periods seem to have gone haywire. The period she had when we went to Spain ended up lasting for 2½ weeks and then two weeks later she started the next one (still ongoing). So that has cramped our style somewhat.
And I guess all this has led to a bit of blogger malaise with me too.
But hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

I so feel for you Ed,
The moving house - check
BEG having a period - check
No sex now for one and a half weeks - check
General malaise about… well everything
Hope it all works out for you and good luck with the house sale. It can be and is a real drag.

Glad to see you back after your short break in transmission. We know how stressful selling a house can be. But sex is the answer to everything - almost.

ooh, selling a house is the PITS. And the long drawn out periods… I had that and went to the doctor finally, he said my birth control pills were the culprit and put me on a double dose to strengthen my lining… did I already tell you this? I was telling somebody… Anyway, glad my hint resulted in an update, but considering the situation, I understand. We’re working to buy a house, that’s so much fun, it’s the selling that bites!!

Oh how life can get in the way of fun, enjoyment, time to do what is needed. But hope all goes well with the house selling/finding.

BEC, it’s always a stressful time selling a house, isn’t it? Just hope we get a buyer soon.
Alfie, that’s my philosophy too!
DFP, for a while Sue was on medication to stop her periods, in an attempt to prevent her migraines. She’s come off that now, but it still seems to have caused havoc with her system.
Rosie, thanks.

Selling a house is no fun. We all know how that goes. But we do enjoy shopping for a new house. I hope your search goes well.
Will being off for a while affect your son’s college prospects? I’m not sure how things go where you are? I’d ask him to get a job. Even if it didn’t pay much, it would get him our of the house so you could have some privacy during the day. Otherwise, he’d have to get used to his mom and I taking a long midday “nap”.

MCB, he has got a part-time job - the only problem is that he works in the evenings so he is still around during the day.
In the UK at sixteen you have the choice of staying on at school and doing A Levels (possibly similar to High School Graduation?) or leaving school and doing a vocational course at college. Son should really have taken the college option to begin with (I tried to persuade him at the time) but he decided to stay on at school. He now realises that was a mistake. So when I say ‘college’ I don’t mean university.
He wants to do Engineering and college will give him a more hands-on practical entry into Engineering, rather than an academic route through University. ‘College’ covers a lot of things over here, because it can mean University too.

C. and I used to panic when the passion dropped off, then discovered it comes and goes like the tides. Went three days with nothing, then had two of the most-amazing sex experiences in some time (and with just each other!). The tide comes in and the tide goes out.

I suffered long periods at around Sue’s age, both long and sometimes heavy. (very distressing!) Anyway, I cured them by taking 2-4 evening primrose capusles 3-5 times a day. It only worked when I took them from day one of the cycle and took HEAPS. It took a couple of weeks to be effective. Anyway, better than drugs! ..and my Granny said ..these things will soon be over … don’t worry and don’t do anything rash. Hope this helps. Avalon

Tom, most relationships have an ebb and flow, I think.
Laine, good excuse for eating donuts!
Avalon, that’s very interesting because that’s exactly what Sue’s doctor suggested. She’s been taking them for a few weeks now. And as her period ended today after one week I think they might be working. So thanks for that.

sometimes life does get in the way of sex - I’m sure you two will more than make up for it later though
^_^

My partner & I have moved house five times in seven years. It can be exhausting however the sex side has being great. Especially when you get your new abode, sex amongst the boxes.You feel like your on holiday or having sex in someone elses house very exciting. Getting everything in to its new place is fun. A new era or chapter of your life.
The ladies life problems. Juggling hormones, a job, partner & children can sometimes take its toll.
The hormones can play toooo much of a big part, as I am the same age as Sue & also called Sue. I was on a contraceptive injection for years, how that smoothered my sexual responses unbeknown to me. Sometimes feeling not quite as excited as I wanted to be.I am now off the injection and have a coil fitted. I have become a NYMPHOMANIAC overnight and now enjoy sexual activities at least three times a day. My partner is 12 years my juniour. Goodluck & have fun with the house move .
