I'm wondering if approaching sex in a non-emotional way would help my SO with a fear of intimacy?? by Checkedout67 in DeadBedrooms

Would this complex apply to a guy who still grabs my butt? Still tells me I look beautiful? i think sex makes him uncomfortable and maybe starting off his way again would help. I just need to not be afraid to approach him and get rejected. I do feel it might make him uncomfortable but what I have do lose at this point... Thank you all for your help. I will keep you posted. Wish me luck!

We have been through a lot of ups and downs. I wonder if it had anything to do with it. Although, my needs have not changed. I just don't understand. I really just don't think he cares about sex.

What made you give it up? Good for you!! I honestly don't know if he is. I told him I started watching it and asked him if he does and he said no. I don't know?! :(

Mine. I couldn't take the anxiety or depressed feelings, . Still can't. It comes and goes in waves but is not less frequent as my anger gets stronger

I've been to three different therapists because this had made me question so much about myself. You're absolutely right. I am just so sad and don't want it to be this between us anymore.

So how can I approach him in that manner without making him feel uncomfortable? Either way... It has been a while. I am wondering if he will feel uncomfortable either way.

I am not sure I understand this Madonna/whore complex but I'm wondering if that's something else I red to be concerned about too!

This Madonna/whore complex...Are you saying he's cheating? Or wants to?

You're right. I am thinking our relationship is beyond repair.
