That's my situation. Husband won't touch me - he says it's to punish me because I'm a bad wife. It's a special type of humiliation when a man you're involved with doesn't want to have sex with you. I've tried to seduce him but he just says 'I know what you are doing so stop it'. So I don't bother trying anymore because I just feel humiliated.
He doesn't want a divorce, when I tell him I'm unhappy and want to leave he says he doesn't want me to go and will make a nice small gesture such as making me a cup of tea or buying me a chocolate bar. And then he says he will have sex with me again when my behaviour improves. But he doesn't.
I feel so trapped and unfulfilled. Uncared for I suppose. And then I feel pathetic for feeling like this because we don't need sex and I don't know why I feel like I want it so much. I wish I could stop feeling that desire to have that closeness with someone. I've googled how to live and be happy with a celibate life but the feelings and desire for an intimate relationship keep coming back. Has anyone experienced similar and what did you do?
