A 26-year-old man created a spreadsheet detailing all the reasons his wife has given him for passing up sex over the course of six weeks. The man emailed his wife this spreadsheet and, since then, thousands of people online have seen the personal document.
The man worked for over a month recording every time his wife said no to sex. He collected the information and organized it on an Excel document which he then sent to his wife in an email. The unnamed man was frustrated by the fact that he and his wife engaged in sex only 3 times in 2 months. In column A, he recorded the date, which spanned from June 3-July 16. In column B, he recorded the response, being yes or no, and in column C, he noted the wife’s excuse.
The wife received her husbands spreadsheet via email at an airport before embarking on a 10 day business trip. The anonymous wife, also 26-years-old, was appalled and tried to reach her husband at which point he did not return her calls.
The wife then resolved to make the document public, posting it on the social media site “Reddit.” Some of her reasons for not wanting to engage in sex were as follows: “I’m exhausted,” “I need a shower (didn’t shower),” “I’m trying to watch a movie (fell asleep 15 mins later),” “You’re too drunk,” “I’m still tender from yesterday” and “I’m not feeling too well.”
On her “Reddit” post, the woman detailed how the couple had been together for a total of five years and been married for the last two. She wrote that they had bought a house together 5 months ago, even though they had no kids. The woman wrote: “Our lives have been crazy busy. We spent all spring renovating our new house. At my job I was given nearly double my usual workload after some of my colleagues were laid off. I gained some weight in the winter and have been busting my a** at the gym to get rid of it.”
The wife followed up writing, “yesterday morning, while in a taxi on the way to the airport, husband sends a message to my work email which is connected to my phone. He’s never done this, we always communicate in person or by text. I open it up, and it’s a sarcastic diatribe basically saying he won’t miss me for the 10 days I’m gone. Attached is a SPREADSHEET of all the times he has tried to initiate sex since June 1, with a column for my ‘excuses,’ using verbatim quotes of why I didn’t feel like having sex at that very moment.”
The spreadsheet has since been deleted from “Reddit.” Nevertheless, it has been widely spread around the web since its release. Further, web users have contributed their own opinions on the situation as people take both sides of the argument. Many merely commented on the obvious lack of communication in this relationship. Yet most people have sided with the wife on this one.
