I’ve had a really bad few weeks, and I’m now on medication so hopefully on the mend. I have PTSD and had a flare up this month.
I had a few breakdowns and have needed a lot of comforting.
Partner has been great. Gives me lots of cuddles and head rubs, listens to me when I’m upset and comforts me after I had a panic attack.
However, I now feel like I’ve ruined the dynamic of the relationship now I’m on the mend.
He tells me he loves me, and that he’s always there for me. He’ll hug me and kiss my forehead and he’s great at all that stuff. He talks to me in a caring and kind tone.
We used to be very sexual. Recently, it hasn’t been overly frequent, a few times this month. Now, if I try to initiate anything sexual, he absolutely goes along with it but I almost feel like it’s still in that “caring” voice and it’s all quite gentle. Plus I feel bad because now, most nights we will just cuddle and fall asleep.
He often used to call me hot, or comment on my photos with “🔥🔥”.
Now he mainly calls me cute and lovely. But if I ask him if he still feels this way, he says of course he does.
I just can’t help but feel a shift in dynamic. I know how much he loves me and I’m grateful for him but I’m worried I’ve changed everything. Even though he tells me not to worry about that.
Am I being a little dramatic?
