As for awful in bed, that can be worked out through communication. And I would try not to work hours that would leave me too tired/stressed to have sex. I admit that I'm sometimes stressed out at work, but I honestly think sex would help my stress rather than worsen it. There are so many studies showing how beneficial regular sex is, how it helps people live longer, etc. Which makes me sad that I can't have any sex.
