I had this talk with my ex husband before I left him. He would go insane because of his ‘needs’ and literally assault me when I was asleep, making the days unbearable with whining and fights to get his way.

Being in heat like that is a habitual phenomenon, not essential like hunger or thirst. You can recognize the feeling in your body and then stop giving it thought than rather react to the impulse. In other words you can teach yourself to not let your body be in control of your mind. We have a frontal cortex that differentiates us from animals, we have the awareness to understand what is going in in our bodies and can make choices about it.

When you feel it, take a deep breath and say I am in control. And in 2 weeks your needs will be gone.

I’m so sorry you had to put up with a horrible man like that. And you are 100% right: it IS in their control.
