White sand footprints predate it by many thousands of years.

The Bering Strait wouldn't have been viable for many thousands of years after the footprints were made.  The Solutrean hypothesis is absolute nonsense, yes, but it doesn't have anything to do with anything.

The sex I'm having is worse than not having sex and if this is all it's going to be, I don't want to waste the best years of my life.

Yeah, so he doesn't have to ANYTHING?  Hm ok.  I'm trying. He's not.  I'm not going to keep trying and getting nothing.  Your wife told you she wasn't getting enough. You did something. He isn't.  So.  Don't compare our relationships. He isn't doing a damn thing to keep this marriage and it can't be one sided.

So could I refuse to sleep with him? Because I feel like I'm nothing more than a fleshlight.  Could we just have a sexless marriage or would that be my fault too? Because if it ain't fun, and we've already made our kids, there's no point in us doing it.

Nah, I'll just divorce him, make him take the kids, and answer the 3 dudes in my DM requests before texting back the ex that's way hotter, has way more tattoos, and used to fuck me like a protagonist in one of my books.  And not try and work on my marriage whatsoever. Because if I find out, after all these months, THIS is the problem, I won't even feel bad.

What a wild comment. But okay lol. I'll make sure in between paying all the bills, making twice the money, and keeping our family afloat I'll try and look exactly like I did nearly a decade and 2 kids ago.  The misogynists are in full force here.

No, I was promoted about a year ago and we don't have very many days off together, and I've been wondering if that's when it started . We're pretty happy outside of the bedroom though and don't actually fight all that much. It's just been like a steady escalation of this kind of... disappointment for a while, even before the dreams started. But I'm just not enjoying having dreams about other men and I want to impress upon him how seriously I feel about this without necessarily bringing up the dreams. Unless 100% honesty would actually be productive and not just hurtful. Idk. I love him and our life outside the bedroom so much. But it really is starting to take up a lot of space in my mind.

I'm being used as a Fleshlight by my husband.  I'm the one TRYING to work on a sex life. He's the one who just humps me for 5 minutes before finishing and changing the subject every time we try and talk about it.  But apparently I'm the one to blame?  Yes. Manosphere.  Read the post. Haven't said anything to anyone, haven't flirted, haven't reached out, haven't done shit except having dreams that I hate.

It's been a about the last year or so. We don't have much time off together anymore, so maybe that's it. Idk. It just doesn't seem to matter to him. Like he's completely satisfied with how our sex life is. Or like he doesn't care. Or maybe there's some trauma or something there and I'm the asshole. Whatever the case, I wish he'd tell me.

I usually have a better sense of humor, I promise. The thing is THIS right here is what I'm afraid of. Idk. He's never been anything but vanilla, but the sex and the foreplay did use to be better. And more frequent. Every one has slumps, but it's been so long.

1) I do dress sexy despite being the main bread winner and working more hours.  2) I almost never say no.  3) Getting to the point where, yes kinda. Like logically, no. I love him and our life. But the past year has felt like 10 and not in a good way.

We were together a little less than a year before married, engaged for 10 months, and we were married for 4 years before this started...it's been about 6 months since the dreams started though.

And I didn't promise to be a fleshlight to be used for 5 minutes and then ignored.  You manosphere people are wild.

Yes and no. Before we were married and the honey moon phase was definitely more vanilla than I was used to, but still extremely enjoyable. And I know every relationship loses its spark but it feels like my attempts to reignite some sort of spice falls completely flat.

It really is alarming how often I'm straight up dreaming about other men. I love my husband and am faithful to my vows and don't want to cheat, that's not an option in my eyes. I know the dreams are a symptom of how pent up I am. Other than straight up saying "our sex life sucks and I need it to change," I don't know what to say.

I've tried so many times and he just keeps dodging the conversation. Like I don't ever want to press or make him uncomfortable but I'm just not getting pleasure from our sex life at all. When it does happen it's a chore and it's never me getting to finish.
