My DH is a fantastic man, I love him and I still fancy him,
BUT I 'm struggling with sex. I've done a lot of soul searching and I think there are 2 aspects to it. One is I'm too busy, I can't switch off and by the time we go to bed I'm so tired I just want to read a few pages of my book and go to sleep.
The other is, I have issues from my past. I've been burying them and I don't think I can any more. DH knows, but I don't think he realises how much they affect me and that's my own fault for not addressing them sooner. I've been in a number of situations where I've been taken advantage of. Touched inappropriately, treated roughly and on one occasion raped. As a result, I need his help to work through this. I know he will want to help me, and he'll be horrified to find out how I've been feeling for so long.
I just can't carry on pretending I'm find any more. I guess I'm putting this here in the hope that you will encourage me to go through with it. I've got to this point before then chickened out. I NEED to do this. He's had to go overnight to work but he's home later and I want to talk to him tonight when the kids are in bed.
