A difficult situation

sorry, i don't know if this is the right place on the forum but i will just come right out with it:

(i don't expect this one to be posted because of the general content, but i will try to be as *unoffensive* as i can, in the hopes this will be posted because this is very difficult for me)

 
I am the one with ASD: My wife is *normal*
 
Before we had children, we were very loving and very sexual with each other, after our first child it *kind of* stopped (let me explain)
 
I have always seen sex, *making love* F***ing (call it what you will) as the deepest act of love and companionship there is.
 
Me and my wife have now hit a rut (as we most often do) in this department. we have not done anything at bed time now for at least 6 weeks (4 weeks were due to her *women troubles*) the other two has been *im too tired... im not in the mood* etc (i also think we havent done anything for a previous few weeks prior to her women stuff), i am now feeling deeply horny (sorry), and aggrivated because im not getting the companionship i *need*.
 
Tonight she has said to me (promised) that we could have a bath, go to bed, and be *close*... The bath went well... we went to bed, i stayed up for 10 minutes writing a very important report due to *professional* involvment which i do not want to discuss here (although it involves the children and is also stressing her out), i then put the pen down, turned out the lights, rolled towards to her to *instigate* it, and she completlyy brushed me off *im too tired* etc.
 
What i am trying to ask, is how do i approche the matter as a *normal person* should, without upsetting her, or myself?
 
The thing is, as i have said, i need the physical love making, sex play; because it makes me feel loved and also chills me out.
I have and never will force it upon her (although i have been close a few times and this has always upset me). I can garuntee i will now be awake for the rest of the night (because that is how my body works)...
 
The reason i am so sexual is because my previous *successful* relastionships always have been (instigated from THEIR side) and so it it what i have always been used too... we have had this conversation with each other quite a few times in the past, and she says she completly understands (even though it is apparent she does not)
 
I also feel like shes using me as just a *baby machine* because, after our son was born, we didnt *do it* for quite some time... and then she says to me *let's have another one, i don't want him being an only child like i was*... i leaped at the chance, because it gave me that companionship that i needed, and once again, since our daughters brith 18 months agao, it has been very *dead*
 
Sorry for circulating, im just very confused and stressed out, we have been together now for 5 years (married for 3) and i just don't know what i should do about the situation, has anyone else with ASD experienced this, or knows what i am going through?
 
Again i hope this will be posted, and if it is needed, would the moderators please ammend this mail as they require, as i really would like an answer to this... Sorry for being unappropriate if i have been

  • Wow, thank you for the insight and understanding, i ahve tried to be romantic with her bying flowers etc... but she always says *why the hell did you spend that money for* etc

    As far as the report goes, it WAS important and she was the one who told me to write it out at that point and we could have a cuddle after

    The report is due to our childdren being on a child protection plane... nothing serious, i just had amental break last year (self harming etc) and was asked to leave the house for a year... I have now moved back home this june

    So also we havent had that *closeness* for about a year (which i can understand MUST be one of the reasons, also the stress of children services being another etc)

    But i don't like it when some one (as in my wifes case) says *ok darling, its been a while, lets be close with each other tonight, have fun and relax* when in the next breath she is snoring her head of and teelling me to leave her alone (she wasnt snoring btw) and how was i to know she was asleep when she had rolled the other way?

    Sorry for venting

    *Edit*

    the other problem with her is she get turned on *too much* so she says, so we don't really do much at all apart from *missionary*

    Also she claims that she only had ONE relastionship before me, and i don't want to tell you what he apparently did to her!

    She is 34, i am 33
