A Union Full of Annoyances and Arousal

My wife says I have knee-jerk reactions to her annoying habits, and honestly, the feeling is mutual. The key difference? Even when she gets under my skin, I still want to sleep with her. It doesn’t work in reverse though. If she bugs me, I think, ‘Okay, that’s irritating… but let’s set it aside and have sex.’ But if I get on her nerves, suddenly I’m the worst person alive for days. We’ve been married forever, so there’s plenty of material to annoy each other with. That makes sexual denial my best bet.
