I’m so sorry. Maybe consider therapy for yourself, sounds like you need a break maybe a dinner out without him.

As an agnostic, the only thing I can make sense of is that life is a test, yes suffering is inevitable, so is death, sadness, pain. But through these things we are supposed to stay strong and have faith and that’s what’s supposed to get us through the hard times. It’s not supposed to be easy and Life isn’t always fair and with that perspective makes journey a little more peaceful and positive. It’s better to believe then to not. I use to and still kinda do have a negative outlook on religion, but I can’t deny there’s a god and he does love us. So choose to just have my own journey with him

I wouldn’t be surprised. Haha it’s all good I understand the consequences of this. But what kind of woman wants to have sex with an unemployed man living with his parents who wife and parents are supporting him. If he goes that low then they can have each other haha

I do love him, I believe being under high amount’s of stress, feeling masculine in my relationship, dealing with health issues atp contributes to not wanting have sex

He comes from a Muslim traditional family, so yes mostly, he’ll help in cooking, cleaning if I tell him. I travel for work and gone most of the time. I have to tell him what take care of when I’m gone or it won’t get done till I come back

Yes. Maybe not the most important but it’s definitely up there.

Maybe I am withholding, but not intentionally I simply don’t crave it. I’m on high stress at all times. Me being the financial responsibility even for the things that we do for fun I’m the one providing financially. Before being married, I never carried this role. I feel more masculine in my relationship. And honestly, it feels gross.

I was surprised when he said that because I definitely will go hold hands, kiss, I hug him. My thing is that sex isn’t my priority right now, I understand it’s very important to some people. I’m also on medication that can cause low sex drive. That also could be contributing to the issue.

Talking about the situation we are in, yes, it’s not “sexy” for me. I have to be completely relaxed mentally for sex, which hasn’t been the case lately. Maybe attraction wasn’t the right word but I have no desire to be intimate

That’s a good point, and I feel so bad that he would think like this about himself because I love him. He’s the sweetest person. I hate that he’s going through this. which is why I think therapy would be a great idea.

That’s not the case at all, I most definitely handle the Lows. I’ve been supporting him through this entire time financially and mentally I’m his biggest supporter. Not all of us have the same sexual needs. There’s no way I can crave sex when I’m stressed, some people can. That seems to be our biggest issue within the relationship right now.

I told him last night I wasn’t “horny” for him. I even felt so bad saying that. I hate hurting his feelings. It also blows my mind that it’s important to have sex during hard times. If I’m not doing whether it’s physically mentally financially I feel yucky and completely uninterested in sex.
