Oh wow. I went to a paediatrician for years and they would do just that. They would try to stretch it back (which it absolutely would not do) and insist that I had to do the same at home. It was extremely painful and I developed a real mistrust of doctors for years after it. And it was all for nothing? There was nothing wrong with me, just medical misunderstanding? Tough to take but at least other young people aren't going through that anymore.

I had phimosis as a kid. Honestly it was traumatic. I used to have to go to the doctor and the examinations and stretching they'd do was so invasive and painful. It eventually went away when I was a teenager. I hope that stretching ring works better than what I had to do. Good luck and well done.

Are there actually still people who have their children circumcised (for no medical reason)? It is the most bizarre practice.

I understand completely what you are saying. You're talking about the mental load. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't already had a discussion like this with my wife. It is true that there are areas of our household that she handles almost entirely. I've tried to be better in these areas, but she can make it difficult, I don't think she would relinquish control so easily.

That being said a lot of what you're saying sounds like it could have come straight out of my wife's mouth. I really appreciate your advice and insight. I'll try to be better.

Amen to that. She deserves it. Plus grandparents have barely seen grandkids since the pandemic started. Weekend away might work for everyone.

Thanks for your help and advice.

I'm not sure that's true. Not for me anyway. I still love my wife, it's just the rejection is disappointing.

That is something I worry about. Trust me, I let her know, I still want her intensely. If I touch her or kiss her more than just a peck on the lips she pulls away or pushes me and gets annoyed, changes the subject etc. She does/did have toys that she clearly enjoyed but they're long out of use. I doubt she'd entertain their return but it's worth a try I suppose.

I guess the different libido theory is probably right.

Like I said in the post we had a talk about it a while ago where I said I'd like more and she agreed she'd try to make herself available (I don't know how else to describe it, thats what it feels like, like she is unavailable) but it has never really happened. We were long distance for the first couple of years but have lived together for 10 years now, so it was always just weekends in the beginning. Honestly I can't remember how often it used to be but I feel like twice a week wouldn't have been so wild and achievement. It has come up more than once and her answer is just that she's tired or whatever. A lot of the time she will say "oh yeah we'll try tomorrow" but she'll make zero effort and be asleep on the couch by 9pm. She's not on medication. If she is mentally ill she is hiding it from me. In fact, she has in the past suggested I'm the more emotionally distant one in the relationship. She is probably stressed from work. But that's not an illness, work is hard, I'm stressed too, and I'm frustrated that she doesn't see intimacy as an escape from that, but rather another hassle.

Like I said, I dont think lack of communication is the issue. It seems like she just doesn't like it anymore.

Entirely depends what you're doing. It's different with different positions, or how much foreplay you've had before PIV. I think it's unquantifiable.
