I was in a relationship for 9 years, and constantly took one for the team. He wanted it 24/7, and I simply did not. Well, he didn't really get the hints of "I'm not in the mood", so I tried telling him point blank that I didn't want to have sex. So he says "ok, I'll leave you alone." Then, right on the heels of saying that, he would start spooning, rubbing my chest, etc..all the typical actions that are FAR from leaving me alone. It got to the point where we would get in a big, wicked fight over his inconsideration and selfishness, me sleeping on the couch, or just have sex and get it over with so he would leave me alone about it.
It got to the point where I resented him for it, and that really put me out of 'the mood'. Our relationship had a lot of issues, so there were other stressors involved, but our sex life went to the toilet. We broke up about a year ago, but I have sworn that I will NEVER 'take one for the team' again.
