What to Do When Your Partner Wants To Move Furniture… And You Don’t

Being pregnant, I am often more tired than turned on.

There’s nothing better than when you and your partner’s "go time" sync up. But what about the times you’re on different frequencies? Like when they are whispering in your ear “they want you so bad” and you’re just thinking “I want a nap so bad.”

If you haven’t mastered the art of turning down moving furniture, here's a tip to avoid it without making your boo feel like garbage.

Acknowledge and encourage the intimacy of the moment. Your partner is trying to connect with you. Even though you’re not into the moment you should still say you appreciate them showing some desire your way. You could opt for a back rub, a mini make-out sesh, and if you’re not into that try to connect with them in a non-physical way. Don’t just flat out reject them. That’s cold!

You might be fearing that if you turn down them, it’s going to lead to your partner quitting making moves on you altogether, but here’s the thing. Researchers have found that moving furniture just to avoid issues actually ended up hurting more than it helped. Your best bet is to be open, honest, and say “thanks but no thanks” this time and that you’ll make up for it next time.
