We are in our 40s. He's very attractive and I used to be too until I put on almost 7 stone after having DC.

He told me a few years ago that he doesn't find me attractive due to the weight and we've lived as virtual brother and sister since then. I wasn't much bothered at the time, our relationship was very bad and I would rather have lamped him than shagged him then. There is no affection whatsoever. No kisses,hugs etc.

He has done nothing to make me believe he's had any affairs but he works in a job where he doesn't come home at a set time each day so could easily spend the odd few hours doing something I wouldn't know about. He absolutely denies doing anything.

I know women have been attracted to him in the past, at work and school mums. He's very fit, and muscular and in no way 'old'.

We have had many rows about me not being able to believe he has gone without sex for so long. He doesn't masturbate either apparently Hmm.

Time has improved our relationship, and the bad patch wasn't all down to him. I was dealing with something really difficult and he didn't know how to deal with it. He instigated sex a few days ago but I couldn't get the idea out of my head that he could have been with someone else so I declined.

Aibu to suspect he must have done something?

Ooh la la GrinBlush. Have fun OP and good luck in future life.

If my DH had put on seven stone, I do not think I could have had sex eagerly with him, in fact probably not at all. That does not mean I would stray looking for someone more attractive. So glad you are feeling sexy again OP.

YABVU!!

Can't believe you rejected him after 2 years of no sex. That couldn't of been easy for him.

You have no reason to suspect him other than time?? Has time made you cheat?

Furiousaboutinstarubbish · 16/05/2018 22:06

So pleased you had great sex op. Youve no reason not to trust him. Enjoy!!

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 16/05/2018 22:18

OP, you realise that DH might have depression.

LifeinColour · 16/05/2018 22:29

Fantastic! So pleased for you OP.. onwards and upwards Smile

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 22:30

@Steam - doesn’t sound like he’ll be depressed now! 😳😂

Hurrah OP!!! So so pleased for you!

Remember - today is the first day of the rest of your life....enjoy!! 🕺🏼

siwel123 · 16/05/2018 22:32

@Luisa27. Cooey I think DH will be pretty happy GrinWinkBlush

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 22:33

Absolutely - so happy for them....what a lovely happy ending

Furano · 16/05/2018 22:38

Did you shag around? No? Then no reason to think he must have done either!

Plenty of people go without sex for two years.

I do find t hard to believe he hasn’t even been masterbating but you never know.

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 22:41

@Furano - do keep up 😂

OP and her DH had wild abandoned sex dur

Glad things are getting good for you again OP.

There are some good guys out there you know, they aren't all bad.

NellyJellyBelly · 16/05/2018 22:58

Thank you all!

It was hardly wild and abandoned though, very creaky bed and thin walls so worried about DC waking up.

We have a free morning on Friday though when we will be alone in the house so a sexy negligee to cover my belly has been duly ordered!

I've lost 2 stone since the beginning of April by eating better and do 2 hours of exercise 6 days a week so I look far better and feel better which has helped. Taking the bull by the horns in more ways than one Grin.

@siwel did you really not have sex or masturbate between 18-23?
I’d say that’s highly unusual for both men and women!

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 23:05

Oh humour me @Nelly! 😂

Re: the lingerie ....yes! Go for it!!
So happy for you - the endorphins will be flowing now - you’re a new woman Smile

Keep up the weight loss - you’ve already lost a third! Seriously, by the end of the summer you’ll be almost there 💕

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 23:07

@Hammetts1😂....this is priceless

I love you

NellyJellyBelly · 16/05/2018 23:15

We have always been more Madagascan Vanilla with a hint of mango than plain old Vanilla Hammetts. Back bums and messy shit has never been our thing and not something either of us has ever expressed an interest in.

siwel123 · 16/05/2018 23:16

@0hCrepe. I didn't no. I admit it was slightly wierd Blush but I just worked long hours and had some body confidence issues so never found the time or felt confident enough too nth.

siwel123 · 16/05/2018 23:17

Yes OP your weight loss is amazing and all that shagging does burn a lot of calories you know... so the more the merrier aye.

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 23:18

I love this thread, it’s so respectively voyeuristic

siwel123 · 16/05/2018 23:18

I know it is great @Luisa27. Went from has he cheated to well were going to fuck each other's brains out Grin

Luisa27 · 16/05/2018 23:20

....it’s life affirming
