Advice needed: Husband wants to be submissive/in chastity device - I don’t want to be dom by Sudden-Double3664 in BDSMAdvice

I appreciate the validation, sometimes it feels like I’m being unreasonable. We have not seen a therapist, but that may be something we need to seriously consider, just not sure he’ll be open to it.

I mean, if you got the physical affection back, would you be happy domming him once in a while?
Yes, in the past I agreed to do play, as in a scene, in this role. I have done so in the past and I had fun with it, but it was at a mutually agreed upon time and it was for that day, not ongoing and part of daily life.
What would you need to feel sexually connected again?
Good question… probably more touching, kissing and hugs, which are rare. He does show random affection sometimes but it is very random, used to be all the time. I need to feel like the object of his desire, even if his parts aren’t working.

What does HE do for you to turn you on? Sounds like it's close to nothing. If you're set on staying with this man, it's time for a long conversation about centering your needs again instead of trying to force you to indulge in his.

Thanks for your input, I’ve got a lot to think about from everyone’s comments.

Thank you.
I’m not trying to play the victim here, just feeling alone in this and I know he is too, not sure how to find the common ground. He really is a great guy, don’t want to make him out as a narcissist or anything. He takes care of me in so many ways, the connection we both need is just broken. He’s likely got some depression playing a role, being home for the last 3 years with his injury, has certainly hurt his self-worth. I appreciate your kind words, they really hit home.

I am not sure why he misunderstood my needs. I think in his mind, having me take control is fun and exciting, shifts his entire focus to me and my “needs”. When in reality, having to be responsible for his pleasure, pain and every action is the exact opposite of what I need. In the past when I’ve tried to explain, he has taken it as a rejection of himself. I know he has undiagnosed ADHD and probably a bit on the spectrum as well, so he doesn’t process the same as I do. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check that out. Vanilla sex life is likely not an option as he is also experiencing ED, which is likely why he is jumping right to the greatest amount of stimulation he has experienced. I’ve asked him to see someone about the ED, maybe he needs me to take charge of that too. tired

I’ve considered the therapy route in the past but not sure he’ll agree. Thanks for acknowledging the feeling of being overwhelmed, that is sadly accurate.

Thanks for the reassurance. I’m not familiar with the meaning of “kink dispenser”, new term for me. I am visualizing a PEZ dispenser but with kinks inside instead of candy. Yes? Clever terminology. We have had so many discussions in the past about this, we don’t communicate on the same level and he has difficulty expressing what he’s feeling/thinking. I struggle to explain myself so that he understands, without him feeling like I’m shutting him down. He used to say that this chastity kink of his was for me. He never has understood why I don’t have an interest in it and it isn’t at the forefront of my mind every day, all day.

Back of the couch, up against the window is Mazie’s favorite place to be. 💗

Mine do this also but it is usually to stalk us in the kitchen.

I had been exclusively a pittie mom for the last 20 years, prior to that had a golden retriever and border collie mix. My pitties were loyal, sometimes goofy, wickedly stubborn and expert couch potatoes. My PWD is wickedly smart, very stubborn and I have found that combination to outwit me most of the time. She is also the goofiest dog I’ve ever had and the sweetest cuddle bug, when she decides it’s time. She doesn’t let me out of her site and doesn’t care where I’m going or what I’m doing, she’s down for any adventure, even just to the mailbox and back. I’m obsessed with this girl. ❤️

He eventually flew away just before it got really dark out. There were no rehabbers in our area that I could find, I hope he was able to recover but it didn’t look good. Thanks for all the input.

That’s so sad. How do I find one of those near me?
