what you think of this situation: I lived with this guy for 16yr. I have a 16yr daughter(this guy is not her biological dad, but raise her for her whole life); he kept telling me that he wanted the same things I did in life(marriage and at least 1 more kid-one of his own) except we never did those; he only wants sex when he is in the mood.(which only on friday night and saturday) if HE isnt tired,( works at 4 30am), he is 50yr(next month) I am 43.
I went and bought sexy underwear and nighties and he is not interested and I even go to bed naked to get his attention and he says he's tired, leave him alone.(I dont feel any fuzzy warm feelings like when you first dating.)actually never have, thought the feeling would come in time. but now I regret ; after 16yr with this guy that I "settled' for a convenience in living. instead of looking for "LOVE". but what to do now.??? after 16yr. I cant seem to get him to notice me. or to spend time with me. he says he works 16yr a day and I dont.

actually he "says' I dont. and I say that I work 8hours a day outside the home and come home and work another 4 hours(none paying) doing wash,cleaning and cooking his dinner.but he dont see the work I do at home. and that he "chose" to stay busy and not be home. Now at his job, they told him he HAS TO TAKE 1 WEEK off because he has never missed a day of work in 3 years of working there. but when I ask him to take 1 day off(a "hooky" day with me; I take 2 in a year-for myself) he didnt. he said he had to work, now he says well cant I take a WEEK OFF TOO. and I cant because I dont get it paid if I take it off, and WE just bought our first house.

he doesnt want to get married( thats why lived together for 16yr)
2) he tells me he dont want sex because he is tired because he works 16 hours a day and I dont---but I work outside the home for 8 hours a day- 5 days/weekly. and then another 4 hours at home. cleaning/cooking/and doing wash!!!
he wont go to any counseling--- we have no insurance and no money to spend on a therapist//// money wrapped in NEW HOUSE.

im 4' 11. 115lbs ; im average. he has never said I was sexy or anything.
he has no time to watch tv, I rent a video or watch tv, he watches maybe 10min then out the door he goes, or he is busy doing other things,
he keeps busy, busy
so no he doesnt have a day off, like I do.
we just bought a house and needs a little work,
I have a 16yr, if I go out to meet someone to meet my "needs" what do I tell her?
that its ok being a relationship and seeing others too is the right thing to be doing?? teens catch on what parents are doing. I have never gone out. she will be suspicious.
