Watching the scene of them waking up in the morning was so uncomfortable, because it’s so common- not just among the cast members on this show, but also in real life. Someone isn’t in the mood for physical intimacy, the other partner sees they are pulling away, so rather than respecting their boundaries, they force themselves closer by pulling their bodies next to them, begging for kisses, etc. If she wanted it, she would not be pulling away, so stop. No matter what their sex life was before, people have any number of reasons for needing more personal space and that shouldn’t matter. It’s so disrespectful and shows that he values his wants above hers (also- see Nikki, Jasmine last season, Rob, Statler…)

    Another thing that raises a red flag for me, is when she does decline his offer/request/whatever, he immediately lets out a huff, grunt, etc. of displeasure, and his facial expression goes to mad, more than disappointed. Angry eyebrows don’t suggest he has much empathy for whatever reason she’s giving him for “not now” or “not yet.”

    She hasn’t said “never” dude, but if you keep pushing it, you may lead her that way.
