Partner won't ever go down on me

Posting for trafficand namechabted. I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable here but feeling conflicted my lovely partner of 9 years just doesn't do oral. I thought I was fine with this and had resigned myself to not having this anymore as the other things he brings to the relationship are great.

Recently though I found out in the past not long before me he was infatued with another woman and more or less performed on demand, rightly or wrongly this has rocked my confidence and made me feel he can't possibly physically want me as much

YABU - No one should do what they don't want

YANBU - If he was giving in the past why not now

Both of your AIBU options are true – nobody should do what they don't want, AND there's probably a conversation to have here, uncomfortable though it might feel.

Has he never taken care of you in this way in all 9 years together, or has it been a decline?

In what way is it "taking care off her"? Should the woman on the anal sex thread be "taking care" of her DH by letting him do that? I think she can ask him why of course, in relation to this other person, but I think he's completely allowed to not without being demonised as not attending to her needs. Equally she can choose to end the relationship if that's a deal breaker.

How did you find this out? Did he tell you - and if so did you discuss why it's not the same with you?
