Is this a normal sex life???

My husband and I have just had an argument about our sex life.... again

It has got to the point where we are on the verge of splitting up. He does not see that there is a problem and I feel like I'm going mad so wanted other people's thoughts.

Our sex life:

  • Always initiated by me
  • 90% of the time it is me pleasuring him with no reciprical action and he 'thanks' me afterwards
  • Crunch time came at the weekend when I'd spent 50 minutes on foreplay (on him) and he suggested we go upstairs. Rather than have sex me, he got on all 4's so he could have some bum action?!
  • Last night we were cuddling and although I knew he was up for it, as he knew I was upset by the weekend incident I refused to acknowledge it so he asked if (whilst we were cuddling) it was ok if he played with himself as he had a stiffie (I was gagging for it, as always but wanted him to initiate it just for once)

It's been like this for the past 10-11 yrs and we always talk about it and it's always my fault and I just end up mystified. Apparently I don't know what normal is and I patronise him.

He says that everything has to be perfect for me to want to have sex and if I go to bed wearing knickers or pyjamas it means I don't want it (even if I subsequently spend 50 minutes playing with him, I'm clearly not interested)

Is this really remotely normal???

How odd that this got bumped, I was only thinking of this thread last night and what became of the OP.

Hope you're ok Whatis.

Ive just read the whole 33 pages, and it has struck SO many chords with the abusive narc I was with for 8 years. I literally have been scrolling the last pages hoping for an updat. Seriously home OP is OK. The story has chilled me to the bone.

Cornishmade have you heard from WIN at all?

I have just read this. Such a sad thread. WIN sounds as if she's been stolen from S.E.Asia,or somewhere. So gentle and acommodating. I hope that she has help in this country. Everyone's been lovely,and as helpful as they could've been. MN at its best.
