Hi. Name changed as this is pretty personal, and as my new name suggests, I am pretty devastated.
Bit if background: I've had problems reaching orgasm for the past 8 months due to stress, anxiety and hormone problems. My OH is fully aware of my problem and how hard I'm finding it, how utterly frustrated I am and how I feel less of a woman.
I know it's been hard for him too, has made him insecure and bruised his ego a bit. But recently things have been improving a bit as I've been relaxing more and I finally felt a bit more normal. Anyway..
Last month we had sex and he was really trying to get me there, via foreplay, but after an hour I told him to stop as it wasn't happening. He lay down, looked at me and said,
"out of all the women I've slept with, none have taken as long to come as you"
I'm utterly devastated. I ran into the bathroom and was sobbing like I haven't sobbed in years, I was pretty inconsolable for about half an hour. He came straight in and looked completely puzzled with me being so upset, so I explained that I had opened up about my problem, which was very difficult for me. I've finally felt like things are improving and then he says that to me?!
Now, I moved on from this. I'm still hurt though and it's left lasting damage because when we now make love, all I can hear is him saying this. I haven't orgasmed since and I know it's because he said that and I'm worried I'm taking too long so it never happens.
Sorry for the essay. Any advice on how I move on from this?
