So I married a man who was in his early 30s and a virgin, due to religious reasons. He believed sex was to only be enjoyed within marriage. This was 20 odd years ago.
I was more experienced than him, but tried to be sensitive to that fact on our wedding night, so as not to overwhelm him.
Over the coming years, our sex life was comprised of him rolling on me at times, fucking me, prematurely ejaculating, then going to sleep.
A short while after we married, he started sleeping apart from me due to having a bad knee, back etc, which eventually started me staying up later to play on the computer etc etc.
At one point we decided to go full on for a family and we had a lot of sex during that time, none of which was at all satisfying for me and purely pragmatic - but which did the job of TTC a number of kids.
Weirdly we managed to conceive 8 kids - 6 of which never made it beyond the first few weeks. Two did in that time and we had beautiful daughters.
90 percent of our marriage, my DH has slept elsewhere in the house, from the spare bed to the downstairs sofa. He knows how lonely this makes me feel, but says he can't sleep with me whilst he can't "have me". What he means by this is that I won't just allow him to fuck me on a whim and just let him sleep before he makes me cum. He has done this so many times over the years. This seems very selfish to me.
AIBU to expect more after almost 24 years of marriage? My DH never seems to care about my needs sexually. Just his own. If his own can't be satisfied, he withdraws from me entirely. Should I expect another 20 or 30 years sleeping alone, with no sex, no intimacy? I've had a fucking lifetime of this crap? He's a good dad and a good husband in all of the practical ways. Just shit at the intimacy part.
