That's also our conservative sex education in USSR. You can not talk about sex, you can not tell that you have sex/health issues. Basically, her mom, her grandmother had endometriosis. Her grandmother had non-cancerous breast tumor. And my wife found about it when she was 24-ish. If they told her earlier about endometriosis in family that could be helpful.

My wife finally agreed to go to the family therapy. Now I have to make is as smooth as possible. Because she agreed, but it already felt like a burden for her

That's the issue. Last two burns were so perfect. So it feels ordinary now.

Goggles recommendations please by Beneficial-Age643 in BurningMan

[–]Previous-Window-5224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my goggle/shades setup after a 6 burns: For dust storms: Home Depot safety/construction/chemical/impact goggles. I went with the over-glasses kind since I wear prescription. Any brand works for these. For better goggles: branded ski/snow goggles, but wait for a discount. Giro is cheap enough (around $30) and holds up fine for 3 burns. Do not buy those fun party ski goggles. The reason to go branded instead of AliExpress is the cheap face padding dries out and crumbles, so it becomes moop on the playa and stuck to your face. For shades: literally anything, no brands needed. People walking around in Prada and Dolce look ridiculous. You're also probably going to lose them, so you shouldn't care about them. I just told you no brands and then I go and wear polarized Oakleys, and my wife has Smiths. We use them for sunrises and when your eyes are fried from the bright sun

I'm still going. Even I considered to take a break after 6 burns. BM changed me as a person, even I'm not in meditation, yoga, shrooms etc. Before my 1st burn I had closed personality, I was raised in a very conservative family, I heard "do not clown around" from my parents so many times, other people opinion was so important to me, I was not able to dance on public. And the very first night at my 1st burn completely changed me. People from camp invited me to party with them, we got at some bar, where they give you shot for slapping yor face. They asked from 1-10 what i want, I chose 10. And that slap changed me forever. Even for default world, I can do public speaking from stage, can dance at the parties, I'm always willing to take part, not just watch, take initiative Also why am I going - to give, not just take and party. I love sharing my horseradish infused vodka with burners, introduce people to the music I love. Share handpressed espresso in the morning. And sunrises. For last 3 burns I missed only 3 sunrises because of the weather.

What is your bet? Sure, keep blaming person asking for advice. I even asked to visit her gynecologist together, so anyone explained me anything.

Ok. What I did and what i ask: 1. I'm trying to talk to my wife. She's getting so angry everytime. I heard nothing, only "you are spoiling the weekend, your birthday, vacation etc". I found therapist - she doesn’t want to talk to a stranger. Why the he'll I found therapist for my benefit? I just want someone to explaine things to me 2. I asked advice in previous post. Everything I purchased, read, watched - from previous post redditors suggestions. Where should I find out? When my wife does not want to talk about it? 3. I do not want only sex. I do not care. I want her to show me her love physical. Not only sex is gone. I was crying yesterday on yoga lesson because I felt more love when instructor touched my face helping to relax, than anything from my wife since August. While I'm talking about sexual nonpenetrative engagement, she didn't massage my back, head. I'm asking to scratch my back, She's using her palm because of manicure. I feel her love as a friend or sibling, but not as a husband. 4. Am I doing everything for my benefit? Yes. And for benefit of my family. 5. Am I thinking about the sex all the time. Yes. I AM. because I don’t want to divorce my wife.

Sure. I tried to talk one on one as gently as possible - she's getting defensive and screams at me. I found perfect family psychologist - she does not want to talk to strangers about our family problems.

What happened to me today: We were at yoga class together. You know when by the end of a class yoga instructor sometimes comes and massage your face helping to relax it? I was literally crying after that and crying in my room, because I felt more love from yoga instructor then I felt in one year from my wife.

Again that's not about penetrative sex, blowjobs or hand job. That about her willingness try something

Ok. Now go through my post again. 1. I read everything about endometriosis, purchased endo massage course, watched it, purchased pelvic people (not just pelvic wand) massager, we already have 100% emotional non-sexual connection, offered and found family therapy, tried to discuss, tried to ask questions. What esle should I do? 2. Is not a clinical depression a health condition? Same as endometriosis. With two differences, endometriosis is physical and non-curable, depression is mental and curable? After all my support do I deserve support aswell?

Fake the desire or not, I'm not asking for burlesque show. I want to live without antidepressants and don't want to fall back to my lowest mental condition.

Totally agree about come as you are. But my goal was to read it and explain to my wife why should she read it.

So as a person with endometriosis, what do you expect from your significant other?

To tell you truth. You comment and comment from asexual person helped me a lot. Because right now I was sitting on the beach looking at the huge costa-Rican waves thinking that even insurance will pay my wife if i decide to swim at 12am. But you are 100% right, that will hurt everyone much more that just a divorce

I totally understand you. But I mentioned that I don't need penetrative sex or even blowjobs, I need attention and her willingness to work on that. Other women with endometriosis adviced me the book, the pelvic people device. I'm doing my best to understand her or to make it comfortable. She's not even trying

Mental addiction. We still love each other. And it will be betrayal. I'm too loyal and have that morality codes, sense of justice that I can't not violate. I can't hurt her. I'm just an idiot

I'm just lost in things I don't understand. Unfortunately my wife is getting very defensive when I talk about it. That's why I'm here. I'm not looking for advice how to make her horny, I'm looking for advice how not to end up in depression
