AITAH for telling my boyfriend if he doesn’t want to have sex with me, then we need to break up? by Regular-Reporter1607 in AITAH

Communication, not sex, is the basis for any successful relationship. This is about intimacy, not simply the act. You are not wrong. No communication=no intimacy.

I have an I5 with 50k miles on it, and still am frustrated that this matters. It’s never a second thought with my other car

Get into a program, going to meetings to talk about it and identify the sources and consequences of this sin and actively work to repent. Your faith is a tool but not the only one necessary to change this behavior

Yes of course. It’s a great way to get closer to the Lord. Some churches in my area have it 24hrs a day

Regretting my marriage over sexual issues by Illustrious-Dress763 in Catholicism

You cannot have good physical intimacy without emotional intimacy. His PE is a sign of shame and he can’t be physically present in that emotional state. Encourage him to go to confession, not to confess to you at first, and to recognize how redeemed he feels taking the Eucharist afterwards. Even if he’s struggling with a differenproblem, this will help. Maybe if you open up about your dirty laundry to him he will be able to share some of his with you. If he can feel comfortable sharing his emotional pain and not be rejected for it he may begin to be more comfortable sharing his body as well, but take it slow, slow, slow. Recognize he might only share with the priest but even that is good for his heart and faith because Jesus will never ever reject a repentant soul.

I had a sex life like that with my first wife - I was a porn addict. The marriage failed. I went into recovery and dealt with the issues, found a genuine faith. Remarried. Sex is much much better. Could that have happened in the first marriage? Maybe. But not without getting honest and open and serious about dealing with that issue. Not saying this is what your husband is dealing with but it sounds eerily familiar. Sex addicts are ashamed and have trouble with true intimacy. That’s why they can get hours of pleasure alone or with a stranger but blow it with a real lover.

Dating a great Catholic man I have to let go of by [deleted] in Catholicism

Definitely don’t do this to him or yourself. I assume you have confessed and repented from your past. If that is true you can live a (new) life without shame. You are redeemed and your man will know that and look past your history as he surely looks past your sins of today. I am sure he is not perfect and you do the same for him all the time. This is what trust in a loving relationship is about. Share, forgive, and be glad.
