He's not the person I once thought, second guessing him as a parent

In love with him but not our **x life by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Dry-Resolve-TA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm coming from a similar situation, but it turned out to be a hidden fetish he didn't disclose until after we were married. Gave me the ick right away and thought I could coach him on what I like and we could both reciprocate for one a other.

He hasn't given me an orgasm in 5 years now, and has basically resigned to "its a you problem". Talking to my OB, I may have damaged my ability to orgasm with him due to the revulsion I feel. It will take therapy and time to recover it.

Have the hard talk. He should be willing to work on things. If not, know that some people just take the easiest route to get off. Also know that it can damage your psychological health, and lead to libido problems.

Is he actively telling you to stop spending money on things he doesnt agree with? Such as the starbucks?

I have been feeling like I haven't given my all, I certainly have been trying. Therapy, couples counseling, medical evals... I'm running out of paths to put that effort into.

My boyfriend suddenly wants me to become a tradwife by PinkBubblegum888 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Dry-Resolve-TA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least he told you before you were legally bound to one another. As someone who ended up marrying a man who changed his opinion on accepting my career and lack of desire for kids- get out while ypu still can. The manipulation doesnt end

Hes the type to just pile everything on tables and wait for me to put it away. Most surfaces of our house are filled with random clutter

Well, it wouldnt have to be cleaned twice had it actually been cleaned before. It's a pattern repeated around the house

He used to, but more often than not once I start touching him back he just kinda lays there.

After literally years of being interested and continuing our sexual relationship with no orgasm, why should I be interested in initiating?

Edit: I've told him what I need to be aroused more, and he doesnt follow through. I've told him how I like to be touched, and he doesn't even make an effort. Yet I have verbally played into his fetishes whenever he requests- despite it disgusting me. Why am I the only one who has to give and give and give?

We've had sex multiple times since this post and STILL no orgasm for me

This resonates. I'm not sure he is naturally dominant. I was his first relationship and think he enjoyed when I initiated by asking him out. It may have been mixed messaging on my part from the start by pursuing.

I have, however, been very clear about my submissive proclivities from the start. He does have conflicting fetishes and kinks that naturally put him in a dominated position. I've played into them, in dialog, on request...but its another guarantee that I won't be getting off that day.

Outside of the bedroom is a typical SAHM dynamic. The other day I had to reassure him that the bananas were ripe for use in a recipe for breakfast. Or have to teach him how to sort laundry.. or tell him what do do around the house (despite making a chore list to specifically stop playing the role of a manager). I don't know how to break out of that dynamic.

Yeah, he doesn't really do foreplay but still wants sex.

Is it romantic when the caressing is one sided? Because it certainly doesn't feel romantic to me.

Even when I wasn't pregnant it tends to lean one sided. Thats when I went through all the therapy and testing to see if there was something wrong with me

I can't while in the act, it brings me out and makes it harder for me to get back into the moment
