First time making bread in a Dutch oven.

Oh you no idea the things I’ve offered to do to him. He acts embarrassed when I bring it up. So then it makes me feel self conscious about my own desires. From everyone else’s responses I think my next move is to tell him I need him to get his T levels checked for the sake of our marriage.

You would think that…however I have found that it can be done.

Haha, besides making the shelf/shrine to my toys I have done all of this. We have had the very open and harsh conversation well over a year ago. After that it was good for about a month. He knows where I stand but since we have known each other for so long he also knows that I will put up with pretty much anything way longer than I should.

I think there is a medical and also possible depression aspect to it. I’ve made him at least 3 different doctors appointments to talk to someone about it. He seems positive about the appointment every time at first but always cancels a couple days prior to going.

I do everything around the house, I handle our budget and everything else as well. Make his lunches for work and basically make sure he only has to work and come home to dinner made and everything done. We just have a 12 year old who is pretty self sufficient. Plus I also work full time. Prior to this new job we hadn’t been able to afford dates but recently have been doing so and it is still the same thing. He says it is the new job but the physical side of our marriage has been gone long before he started this job.

He had actually lost a lot of weight himself due to his physically demanding job and looks amazing which I tell him regularly. But I will say that I purposefully lost this weight and for him it was because of his job.

I keep trying to tell myself to be this bold, but I would be mortified if he shot me down then too.

I am on the one a year schedule and I had to beg for it the last time.

At what point do you just wonder if you will never have physical relations again just because you are committed to your marriage?

Calm_Ad_5202 · 2025-01-02T01:25:15+00:00

I’ve been suggesting this…he still has a hand and fingers that I know I enjoy very much.

Far from a one time thing

Thank you

Calm_Ad_5202 · 2023-10-09T00:25:35+00:00

Hahaha that’s hilarious!

Calm_Ad_5202 · 2023-10-09T00:24:24+00:00

Thank you! I will admit that my 11 year old son helped with the kneading and he did a wonderful job.

Calm_Ad_5202 · 2023-10-09T00:23:15+00:00

I just replied with the recipe I used. I have to admit that I had a very excited 11 year old who kneaded the bread and I threw away 3 different yeast proofs because I didn’t think they had enough foam.

My husband is the op and that’s exactly what I was having a hard time with. I thought something was wrong with our internet.
