      @@Abandoned2377 i think she’s trying to give him what he want but when she expresses what she want, he shut her down. She’s not cheating. She’s open to therapy. I think she’s trying but she doesn’t want to be in an unsatisfying sexual marriage. She said he shuts her down. It sound like he make it about him and could care less about what she want. I think overall, there’s a deeper problem and therapy would help.

    From personal experience a lot of men will shut you down when they put their ego before your pleasure. If you tell him he is not doing something right, if it feels bad, he's too fast, too rough, changing positions and speed, stopping and starting, all the things that suck, he will get butt hurt and blame you. I delt with that for a while. We used to do the dance also. I would avoid having sex, he would get pushy and needy. Eventually I just told him I don't want to have sex anymore unless its good for me. And if that means we don't have sex for the rest of the year so be it. He dropped the ego real quick and started to actually listen to what I wanted and to actually try his best. Its not perfect yet but its miles away from where we started.

      I agree, my husband of 52 years has a friend who got divorced about 20 years ago, they have 3 sons and many g-kids that they share so no moving on. They had many businesses together, all got divided, she ended up with a number of houses/apartments over the the years, he ended up with depts galore, being bankrupt, therfore he has nothing. When he could afford it he rented a crappy apartment and at the ended homeless. She took him in, now she wants a partner like a hubby, no sex mind, he wants freedom like a single guy. Happy...??? NOOO

    These situations would be so much easier to deal with if people were able to communicate well with each other. Not to imply that's an easy thing, it's very difficult, but really worth the effort. If you can't effectively communicate with words early on in a relationship, how can you expect to be able to resolve issues with that person in the short or long-term? Establish effective communication now, it won't get easier as the relationship progresses.

    If the heat and compatibility isn’t there at the beginning you should never get married to that person. And if a guy doesn’t know how to really please a woman by marrying age he’s likely never going to. Same with a woman.
    If your partner doesn’t bring what you truly desire to the bedroom, you have to be honest with yourself and end it before tying the knot. This is a huge reason so many people cheat. “Sex isn’t everything.” Sure, but great sex is required for an actually fulfilling longterm relationship/marriage.
    People might disagree, but I guess it also depends what your goals are for marriage. Is this basically a business and life partnership or is this a burning love that you had to make official. I don’t consider business/life partnership an actual marriage, or at least not one based on the right things.
    Your life partner should be your dream guy/girl. From your eyes. If they’re not, you’re with the wrong person and you’ll likely be quietly resentful and unhappy for the rest of your lives.

    Sex is between two people. You both have to be willing to work on what feels good for both of you. Women actually love sex too. And mental is 80% of it.
    A lot of men don't know that women love sex too and have no idea how to actually make them happy sexually.
    Some Men get butthurt when they are told the wife wants different stuff. Sometimes the wife doesn't know what she wants or feels like she can't ask for things for whatever reason.
    Then so many women end up settling for bad sex, and then just stop being interested in sex.
    Then it's a vicious cycle of him upset because there is no sex and her not being interested the more pressure and unappreciated she feels.

    I really embarrassed now. There's nothing else to say.. Or to be said about my parents behavior and their sex life... Just to know what is really going on in their love life that been hidden from my site. And now I'm 45 and I have been married twice. Been mom and I'm all in it. But something in the past happened makes me don't understand why they NEVER told me all the suffering btw them. The multi marriages and divorces that they are dealing with till today? I actually feel sorry for them and I'm NOT gonna go theirs foot step when it's comes to dating - love life and marriage. Enough drama!

      @@stefaniamalatesta8076 and sadly many simply outright refuse to learn how you like to be pleasured unless its some form of extreme fetish they are themselves curious about. Even trying to teach them to be more sensual in kissing is an outright insult.
      My ex.husband was extremely passive aggressive and his weapon of choice for nearly 6 years (& during both my pregnancies) was sexual withholding (& any form of kind word, sympathy or non sexual touching or hugging).
      Some people are Intimacy Anorexics via childhood trauma and they actually feel joy at denying you and become addicted to that feeling of control and power.
      I know many men suffer but when its a woman it feels a double shame. Not that it mattered but I am.also v petite and never put on weight at all in pregnancy and was told by his friends on occasion how "beautiful" i was.
      I later learnt he was a compulsive p*** addict and into extreme bdsm. I once suggested we watch together and he even refused that.
      These people.decieve you for years and you keep trying. I spent 3 years in marital therapy where he kept blaming me for everything and even to the point where he accused me of deliberately causing my own miscarriages through not drinking a certain amount of water...(in fact I had a blood clotting condition which was the cause but he refused to accept the diagnosis!).
      The therapist actually always agreed with him because I was constantly defensive trying to return his version of life to what was factually correct.
      Therapy for him was another means to have a second person join in on the bullying (& emotionally punish me later for everything I revealed about him in the session).
      I hope this lady doesn't spend more than 6 months on trying as it almost destroyed me to keep trying for those years, meanwhile I was raising a small child, a new born, taking care of an elderly father with dementia (no siblings and my.mother passed young) and working a high stress job (he had spent 4 years trying to launch an entrepreneurial career which failed so I was the sole financial support for everything).
      That in itself caused massive resentment as his mother would regularly join into to bully me (as he told her everything including me complaining about our sex life!l). Severely enmeshed emotionally incestuous relationship but got worse over time as he began to project all his feelings of hatred from his mother to me, the minute I gave birth to our firstborn. Similar to the revisulsion Elvis had to Pricilla after she got birth. No one but no one understands how isolated and lonely you are, also what it does to your self esteem.
      The Doctor should also stress she should never compromise her own well being to endlessly keep trying. 6 months of deliberate trying to effect change or she must act decisively or it will truly break you.

      @@stefaniamalatesta8076 right. People will tell you that sex doesn't matter that much in a relationship, but that's bs, because sex is the only thing that separates a romantic relationship from a platonic one...if someone is required to be faithful, the sex needs to be good...or this happens.

    You don't need a therapist, you need a lawyer. If it matters to you, divorce. You're just not compatible. It said it all when Dr John asked" Does your husband believe you love him". Yeah, my wife makes dinner too and she does laundry and she tells me she loves me. I don't believe it for a second. We share household duties in raising kids and she doesn't do anything she wouldn't do if she was single. Other than her words, there's absolutely nothing that tells me she loves me and words are meaningless. If after 15 years with her she came at me with this, I certainly wouldn't go along. I would be very distrustful that this came out of nowhere and why now vs all along when I used to complain about this?

    Some people are just not sexually compatible or attracted to each other. No amount of sex therapy is going to help if you're not physically attracted to the person. They just do it as a chore until they just live as roommates.
