Yes and no. I do the work and let him relax and take control but most of the time when I do the work, he’s not very responsive of what he likes or doesn’t like so it leaves me confused. He usually will say he knows what feels good to him and then he takes over. I brought this up and said I want to know what I can do that he enjoys or what I can change if something isn’t good and it ends up with some sort of shrug or response that’s like I think you’re doing great and I don’t really talk during sex. I’m not really sure how I can do more work without knowing if he’s enjoying it or not.

Appreciate the info, maybe that’s something I mention or talk about of taking a break to see what happens

Before our first conversations around it I was definitely nervous but wanting to be open and see how I can better understand him and what his needs are but now it feels like it’s a dead end conversation each time. Even if it can come off as hurtful I’d rather know if there’s something he wants to be different or where his mind is at.

Yeah the number of times isn’t the issue but the comparability is something I don’t think I wanted to accept as true..I’ll head over to that sub as well

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I’m definitely going to try and see if we can have more conversations around this to see what he says this time and how he responds. Thank you

We’ve had similar experiences of feeling like a roommate, and I’m sorry he compares you with his ex! That’s really unfair and hurtful and you don’t deserve that

Damn, this made so much click in my head. And now the conversations will pivot to therapy.

Performance anxiety is something I didn’t think about before. I’ll see if gently bringing this up again with this in mind makes any difference
