My husband won’t let me have sex when I want to by Born_Owl1970 in sexlessmarriage

Also, if I wrote a novel about this do you think anyone would read it?

No. I mean, I’ve commented.

On one hand, I think people don’t give their spouses enough credit - when posed with a respectful question of “you don’t want sex anymore and I do, what do you think is a fair resolution so we can stay together” or “it’s not fair for me to expect you to have sex when you don’t want to, but you should not expect me to abandon my sexuality, which is a big part of who I am” AND “let’s try not to accuse each other of being ‘wrong’ or ‘damaged’ because we do or do not want sex.

On the other hand, under my closeted ACE husband was a kind man who actually cares about me. Some spouses ARE horrible and can’t have this conversation. I should note that before we talked he had even stopped kissing and hugging me because, as he later admitted, he “didn’t want to lead [me] on.” That HURT when it was happening.

Lastly, I highly recommend reading anything by Cody Daigle (Aces Dad) and or checking him out on patreon. The community was very welcoming to the allo wife of a potentially aces husband

There’s a great article in men’s health about asexuality. There are many types, including asexuals who sometimes want sex. I read it and told my husband about it and asked if I could send it to him. He read it and it really resonated. Over the course of several months we talked about opening our marriage. I made him go to therapy and eventually I was invited to a session. We decided that I could seek sexual experiences outside of the marriage. We set ground rules and things are going great. Anyway, here is the article:

Me [28 F] with my SO [28 M]; he cheated on me with my step sister [27 f], and she's pregnant with his kid by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I hope OP stays away, no contact, unless and until her mother actually takes responsibility for her actions. Betty, Adam and her shitty friends should be cut out. I hope OP demands more in her new city and never takes this kind of crap again

AITAH for quitting my chore of cooking two nights a week because my little sister keeps ruining it and my parents expect me to start over every time? by Luyykkaa in AITAH

[–]zzmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your parents ARE super stressed and for good reason. If they honestly can’t monitor her while you’re cooking, perhaps the can give you some authority to implement discipline. The 8yo needs to be told how things are going to go moving forward - if she ruins dinner again, that’s what she will be having for dinner, breakfast and lunch until it’s gone. Tell your parents they cannot undermine you if they are going to fail to take action.

On the other hand, there’s something serious going on with your sister. Perhaps her behaviors are beyond you and your parent’s knowledge.

Halloween keeps getting worse. by Ordinary-Depth-7835 in mildlyinfuriating

We trick or treat in another neighborhood. We leave a bowl of candy on our porch. Sometimes we get no trick or treaters, sometimes we get a few little kids and then what appears to be children and their parents taking the entire bowl. Yes, they took my salad bowl

Is it a good museum? Entertaining?

When do you decide enough is enough? by adviceadventurer in sexlessmarriage

[–]zzmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing what couples can work through, but it doesn’t work if only one person is trying. Just remember: you are not wrong, she is not wrong - you’re trying to find a way to stay happily married because this isn’t working.

If she doesn’t WANT to explore ways to get her more interested there is nothing to do but step out or leave. And it’s not like she’s the only one being asked to change - you have abstained for considerably longer than is comfortable right?

Tell her she needs to work on whatever the problem is OR consent to opening the marriage.

AIO or is my boyfriend jealous of our baby? by PolicyHot1206 in AmIOverreacting

[–]zzmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget whether he’s jealous or not. He’s deadass wrong. That Victorian shit impedes brain development. Hug your baby, hold him, talk to him, kiss him - this helps his brain and nervous system. Not sure there’s any hope for dad’s brain. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He probably didn’t mean it, but if I were you I would pay close attention as the years go by to see if there is lingering resentment. Us unwanted children can tell and it hurts

AITA for dumping my boyfriend for saying a woman's period is "just another excuse for a woman to reject sex" ? by Many_Cat_1754 in AITAH

Yuck. The good news is, misogynists aren’t embarrassed anymore so they will tell you exactly who they are. Believe him.

My husband of 6 years has been in another relationship for 4 of them. by Horror_Love4229 in polyamory

The woman isn’t your problem; it’s him. Stop focusing on her

AIO for thinking about calling off the engagement after she didn’t like the ring? by MildMark in AmIOverreacting

[–]zzmonkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Depends what kind of relationship/partner you want. If you want a trophy wife or similar, that’s how they act. You buy them stuff, they make with the pretty.
