All from the same woman. Spent 2 1/2 years with this witch, go figure. 'Course she was the NFL cheerleader I’ve mentioned before. “You need to workout” Calling out here ex-husband’s name. “You’re boring me” ---

> [@jimpatro](#): > > “You’re boring me” Ouch! Perhaps she wanted balloon animals or some manner of mime show? Regardless, being told that I was boring someone while doin’ it would kill the mood pretty quick, I think. ---

> [@Spatial Rift 47](#): > > Your partner falling asleep during the act. Not only does it totally kill the mood, it’s a major blow to the ego as well. And no, this one’s not from personal experience. I can confirm this… from personal experience… I was the one falling asleep. (It was a Friday night after working 16 hour days all week long, only getting 5 hours sleep each night. I made it up to her the next afternoon when I was rested, … after spending the morning apologising, reassuring her, and soothing her ego.) And to add to **JohnBckWLD** ’s comment about _Inertia_ - Satin sheets are a great idea, but but combined with satin pillowsheets on the pillow under her ass yeilds a nearly frictionless surface resulting in both parties involved sliding across the bed and onto the floor. The resulting bruise on her backside forced us to find ‘alternate methods’ for a couple of days. ---
