BakersDozen Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Just curious as to the longest time span couples have experienced between teA sessions? I'm not talking about extenuating circumstances such as deployment, extreme illness, etc. Will try to make this poll anonymous, lol. ;) Edited June 8, 2012 by LuvnMySvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in SC Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Maybe I should've voted differently, because there was one occasion where it was around the two month mark. This was due to a nasty flu that I got, then dh got immediately after, then I received my monthly weather condition :D. However, I consider that to be an extenuating circumstance. Dh and I live in two different cities at the moment, due to our 16yo having one more year in high school and dh taking a promotion that required him to relocate, so this is why it's sometimes 2-4 weeks between teA time. Maybe TMI, but felt somewhat compelled to offer an explanation. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I am also assuming that extenuating circumstance would also include childbirth. Nothing turns me off more than giving birth to a large baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I voted for normal circumstances when nobody is sick and there are no health circumstances (including recent childbirth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwin Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If no one is pregnant or postpartum, a week. Sickness actually ups the odds, since we are sitting at home together for long periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 When there weren't matters of deployment and/or illness/child birth I voted 2-4 weeks but that is usually because dh is so exhausted due to his crazy inport work hours. When his hours are more normal we're at least brewing every 2-3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I voted 2-4 weeks, it was probably close to 4 weeks, and it was when our marriage was very shaky, and we really hardly wanted to be together. Usual though is average of 2x week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I voted a week (assuming childbirth was an extenuating circumstance), but that is pretty unusual. We make an effort to keep that part of our marriage very frequent because we get crabby when we don't :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't understand the question... Are you asking how long normally, or how long was the longest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamagirl Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not counting pregnancy restrictions/work absences, 1 week tops. And that was due to his extremely long commute plus long days = too tired to brew. Now that that job situation has changed, we have regained rabbit like brew times :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghanL Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 We are about every 4 days. A week is too long to wait. Twice a day is too often (for us). This is assuming everyone is healthy. Since my youngest is over 2 years old, I've completely recovered from childbirth & my hormones have settled down. It makes it much easier to be more frequent with the alone time.

SailorMom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Uh - where's the "less than 12-24 hours" option on that poll??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Aside from postpartum times or when we've been physically separated by work, the longest has been a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 okay apparently I have some things to learn about online code words. Why teA? I also saw the thread about "self-brewing" being a sin? I seriously thought they were talking about home brewing hobbies...you know as in yummy beer? :lol: I also saw the phrase "teA obsessed culture"? Like what green tea, black tea, Lipton? I hate to offend anyone, but could someone tell me honestly why you can't spell out the word sex or masturbation or intercourse or...why teA????

swellmomma Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I can not properly vote. Legally I have a dh, but we have been separated for 11 years. As a single woman it has been over 5 years since my last time. So 5+ years between teA sessions :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This should be age-rated, btw. What I would have said at 30 is very different than what I'd say at 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was so those types of threads would be less likely to be found with Google searches, and also because the forum may have kids reading over parents' shoulders. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think the OP wants to know the longest. Unfortunately, for me, that was just about 1 year. We weren't sure our marriage was going to make it. Now, average times between sessions have varied over the years and under "normal" circumstances ranged from 1-1.5 months between or, in better times, just a few days. Currently, it's just a few days, I'm happy to say!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 2-3 weeks at the longest, 2-3 times over the course of our 10.5 year marriage. I think after each birth it was no more than 2-4 weeks (fine with my MWs), basically once my bleeding stopped. I didn't really experience a whole lot of discomfort PP other than some very mild discomfort the first time or two we engaged after DS1 was born. I've been BFing and pg for all of the last 8 years, and I have found each time my youngest hit about age 2, my drive kicks back into overdrive. We just hit that point again recently, so teA has been an every day, or twice a day thing for the last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Every day. At least the days we are together. And since we are living apart through the week we make the most of our 3 days together and it is often more than once a day. I might still be considered a newly wed.....:confused: 1 year and a half. But we are both in our 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 8 weeks or so during basic training. Averaging once a month lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
