Most husbands have sulked at some point over their wife’s refusal to have sex.

But few of them will have taken their frustration to the limits one man did.

According to the Daily Telegraph he “compiled a spreadsheet that listed his wife’s excuses for refusing to have sex with him over the course of a month.”

He then put all the information into a computer document and emailed it to his wife who was en route to an airport for a 10-day business trip.

Her excuses included the following: “I feel sweaty and gross, I need a shower” (Didn’t shower until next day).

Amusingly, she uploaded his efforts onto a social networking site complete with her own comments. I sympathise with him but I doubt it will help.

Making the kids stop crying or making a nice meal are better bets.
