Sensitive question about H

ThreeLittlePandas · 14/03/2012 11:52

I've been putting off asking this because I'm scared of what your answers might be. I'm really evaluating my relationship with h atm and wondering wether to leave him and I think the answer to my question might heavily influence my decision.

Blush in advance.

Dh and I rarely have sex. When we do it is rather boring but he is considerate.

The other evening I went to bed early as I was desperately tired. I was woken a few hours later my dh who had his fingers in me. I was heavily asleep and by the time I realised what was happening he was having sex with me. He finished quickly and that was it. I really hadn't wanted to have sex and feel like I wasn't given an option. The next day I felt a bit angry and almost violated to be honest.

I'm not looking for anything other than an opportunity to talk this through because it's been bothering me. This is about the third time in the last couple of years that something like this has happened.

Well done Pandas, rooting for you - wanted to come back to your comment about having no-one if you left your DH - you will have all the people that have wanted to know you, be friendly, have a chat, but who you were too depressed and oppressed to respond to. Honest. You will not be alone.

Well done Pandas Smile

pandas, I am rooting for you

well done for that support service

AbigailAdams · 20/03/2012 14:55

Aren't e-mail and internet forums like this,wonderful for support. Imagine how much longer it would have taken, Panda to have sought help if you had to find that significant extra amount of courage to tell someone face to face or even over the phone. It is almost anonymous this way yet you can still receive great advice and access great resources. Then those people can contact you in RL and take that weight off you. It really is using the power of technology. Makes me all fuzzy and warm.

You are doing so well Panda. You should be proud.

How are things at home?

Panda, sorry I haven't had time to read everything but I was following this and have just read the last couple of pages at work, I just wanted to say a few things and I'm really sorry if I x post with anyone.

Firstly I hope you are ok and you should be so proud that you have spoken to the GP and emailed your OP as well

The thing I really wanted to ask was you said there was a long waiting list for counseling?
I don't know if this will help but 2 years ago I went through a really hard time, not the same situation as yours but something that almost broke me.
I went to my GP also and was told about the wait list, but also told you can self refer through a counseling service called MIND.
I spoke to them and started counseling the next week.

I have no idea if they are in your area as I am in north london and not sure where you are and I'm really sorry I don't have time right now to look it up as I am at work but I will check this evening or maybe you might be able to look.

It is a free service and it really helped me get through my situation, I dread to think where I would be without them.

Will post more info later
Good luck with everything
