Frustrated and fed up

Married 20 years. DH has ED. I get that and there are other things we can do. I've said this to him. He always says he loves me. However ...

Every time I touch him intimately he says it tickles too much/ he needs the loo/ he has the shits and feels ill/ he's too hot. It seems there is always an excuse. He sleeps naked, I started do the same. It made no difference. He still made his excuses.

When we are intimate it's v v rare. I snog him but after a minute he pulls away. He tries to disguise the fact he's pulled away. I don't pressure him. He knows there is no expectation for sex (due to the ED).

I feel so frustrated. He won't ever talk about it with me.

Stop trying to be intimate with him because he evidently doesn't like it. It appears as though your relationship is celibate.

You're being very understanding, he needs to make some effort or at least talk to you about what's going on, it's not fair.
