If you were (or are currently) a SAHM, would you use (or have you used) sex as a bargaining chip?

Do you consider being a SAHM like an actual job that you should get paid for (by your partner presumably?)?

If you partner had a job requiring him to work long shifts up to 12 hours would you withhold sex because he is (according to you) not 'doing enough'?

No. I've been a sahm before but never have I ever used sex in that way. Nor would I. If anyone is going to do that then they are asking for their marriage to fail. You have a responsibility to take care of your partners needs in marriage. That is what honouring their body actually means. If you are not prepared to do that for life, then imo you shouldn't be married.
