How Do You Get Your Husband To....

Not come at you like a spider monkey when he wants some? He says Im not "cool" anymore :(. He always attacks me at the most inappropriate times and it drives me crazy! I honestly dont remember ever just dropping my drawls at any given time for him, so I dont know when I turned "uncool".
It seriously drives me crazy when my kids are running around the house and Im doing dishes or brushing my teeth and my husband wants to stick his hands down my pants. He always waits until both my hands are busy and I cant even defend myself.
I have told him a million times, if he tried a different approach, like maybe a kiss or a hug first and would get him way further than groping. Maybe if he could ease his way into it, I would stop doing the dishes and give him attention. I am not against groping at all, but geez, take it slower! Sometimes he even admits "Oh Im just trying to bother you".
Before he left his morning he gave me a kiss and then stuck his hand in my bra. I gave him a funny look and he was like "Why cant I just touch a boob before I leave?" lol.
I am just being uptight or is he annoying? I love him to death, but I cant get into it when my kids are running the house anyways.

I even did a little experiment and started attacking his junk whenever I wanted to and hes like "Take it easy!" and looked at me like I was insane.

What can I do next?

So funny. I'm with ya. Mine does the same thing. Like when I'm bending over getting things from the dishwasher. Really? You think now is a good time? Drives me crazy! I have to be careful when I'm cleaning so as not to stick my butt out doing anything. This is a guaranteed green light for him to come over and pat my butt, or say something. Most of the time I just laugh it off, he means well. He's attracted to me, and that's good. But I swear sometimes he's like an animal! :) I've told him to try a different approach, and he is kind of getting the idea. Men and women are just different. They don't understand why we don't just hop on them for sex.

Just let him know that women don't "heat up" like men do (with a grope). If he wants you to want to get physical, he's going to have to pre-heat the oven!

You didn't "turn uncool." I guarantee that there are things he used to do to pre-heat your oven that he's not doing anymore. Remind him that it's a two-way street. It's not just about him getting to "touch a boob," it's also about YOU getting enjoyment out of it.

ETA: You know...after reading 8kidsdad's response, I couldn't help but think of something...

If your hands are in the dishpan or you're leaning over the dishwasher or maybe your hands are stuck in ground beef...and your hubby grabs you...try NOT squirming away. Think of the fantasy that is going on in your hubby's mind. Shoot...wear a flowy skirt and (so long as there's no danger of the kids walking in) GO WITH IT! Bare your neck a bit so he can kiss you. Lean into his touch. I'll bet he will do more than just grope...he'll use those hands to please you too! Just your willingness and response to his touch might be just want he needs and what you need as well. ;o)

I've read "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." While a little bit of it is not possible for me (I can't be a SAHM at the moment), there is a lot of AMAZING stuff in there.

And now I'm wishing my SO weren't deployed overseas! I miss him!!!

I would LOVE to get attacked, LOL!!

If he's intentionally trying to get under your skin (which he is), get back at him by playing by his rules. As he's getting ready to go to work, instead of a quick hug and a kiss, grab his crotch... when 'it moves', smile, peck his cheek, and say 'okay honey! have a nice day!' and shove him out the door... see how comfortable (or not!) THAT ride to work is, HAHAHA!!

When your husband said, "Take it easy" it was probably because you squeezed too hard. Rub, Yes. Stroke, Yes. Lightly "tickle" or scratch, Yes. Squeeze, No.

Get the book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." It will explain a lot about how your husband feels. After you read it, give it to your husband so he can read it. He will learn a lot about you.

The longer the time between being intimate with you the more your husband will have sex on his mind.

If you want things done differently, then show him, tell him. But realize you are giving mixed messages. You said, "I have told him a million times, if he tried a different approach, like maybe a kiss or a hug first and would get him way further than groping. Maybe if he could ease his way into it, I would stop doing the dishes and give him attention. I am not against groping at all, but geez, take it slower!" Then you complained, "Before he left his morning he gave me a kiss and then stuck his hand in my bra. I gave him a funny look and he was like 'Why cant I just touch a boob before I leave?' lol." You asked for a kiss or a hug first, then when he did, you complained when he touched your boob.

Almost all men love to touch their wives. Its apparently a man thing, from what I've learned on this site.

What should you do the next time you are washing the dishes and your husband reaches around you and gropes your boobs? Tell him to back up 15 seconds and try again. Tell him, first grab my upper arms and squeeze, like a hug. Now, step forward and kiss my neck on each side and say, "I love you!" "I think you are so sexy." Now reach around and grab my boobs and hug gently (or however you like it.) Undo the buttons on my blouse as you kiss my neck and nibble my ear(s). Tell him to say, "I love you so much" "Thanks for doing the dishes and the laundry. I sure appreciate what you do for me and for our family." Now undo my bra. Kiss my neck some more. Give me a hug. Now reach under my bra . . . I could go on, but you get the idea.

I realize I may have the wrong words or gestures, but YOU know the right words and things you want him to do. By giving him "private lessons" he will learn and you BOTH will be happier. When my wife and I went to a couples massage class on one of our cruises, I was massaging her too hard in some areas and not hard enough in others. If she hadn't told me what she liked, I'd still be doing the wrong thing.

You are welcome to e-mail me if you want to bounce questions or ideas off me, but I have no doubt you know what to do.

Good luck to you and yours.

Annoying. You proved it by your experiment. I think a happy compromise would be to make sure you give it to him on a regular basis, but on your terms. That way he gets it and you get to control the how and when.

Too funny. You are handling it well. You've just reminded me that my husband hasn't just reached over in the car and grabbed my boobs in a while. It used to annoy me, and I felt bad that I could not explain to him why. Now, I wonder why he's stopped. (Isn't that just like a woman?)

Anyway, maybe you should get yourself all worked up one day and just jump him. Let him work that testosterone down to a good workable level while knowing that you're still interested. (You guys are cute.)

Keep doing what you tried, Molly. That's the best defense. And when you grabs your boob, say back to him "Take it easy, or I'll attack your junk again." THAT should seriously work!!!!

Oh thank god! I thought I was alone!

My husband is forever going for my boobs at the worst times and not just a handful or playful "honk" (yes, he "honks" them from time to time), but right for my nips, which are SUPER sensitive since I gave birth and breastfed. It's like he figured out what play there can do to me and now it's his favourite "button" and he skips all the others. Like you said, I love him and sometimes playing "horny teenagers" is great, but I swear, sometimes that Neanderthal instinct takes over and I've lost him. Deep down they never do grow up.

No advice for this one, sorry!

**Rachel D, I actually did that to my husband last night before he left for work (works nights) he was NOT a happy camper.

Ha. I like the approach you've taken to just start groping him. I'd say "Just want you to see what it feels like. Wouldn't you rather I kiss your ear before I grab your junk? Well that's how I feel when you just grab my boobs. I'd be much more turned on if you took a more gradual approach."

But honestly, I kind of WISH my husband touched me like this. It could be worse -- where he only touched you when in bed during sex.

answers from Fargo on

Molly, if he is doing this to bug you it's called disrespect. I don't care how often y'all have sex, it doesn't mean that he can grab at you whenever he pleases and ESPECIALLY when you are busy doing something and you have your hands full.

Sexual touch is for mutual pleasure, not just for him to touch some boob before he goes to work. If that's all he wants, you can buy a prosthetic boob and hang it by the door so he can rub it on the way out. I am kidding, of course, but I hate the "entitlement" thing that says that men are just wired that way so they should be able to behave like apes.

Yes, tell him what you like and tell him that he is not winning himself any favor by doing the sneak attack. But, don't let him read that Proper Care and Feeding..... book. It doesn't teach men anything nice about women and that's a tree that you don't want him barking up.
