Hello...

Well I have posted on here a few times as been single a good year and a half now and your help has been amazing thank you......However in the last few months I have "finally" met a really sweet guy, who I feel is on the same wavelength with me.

As I had such a horrendous last relationship with a controlling partner, I felt I wanted to meet someone the opposite which has been the case here. Im 40, he is 48 and he just had his divorce through in February of this year after 12 years marriage with a really awful, controlling ex partner who reaped him financially where he's having to borrow money to pay her off still. He doesnt want to tell me everything about her but I think he went through quite a heavy depressive time, only for his family to not speak to him for 2 years, dad and brother which sounds incredibly horrific for anyone to disown anyone like that because of an ex partner. All is ok now since they divorced.

She does still come up in conversation i.e. don't have a ring tone the same as hers as it brings up bad memories of her, all I fear is a text coming in thats negative as its normally from her with those nasty words texting me in the past, she was that nasty, she was on anti depressants etc etc....so I think I have a good picture of what she is like.

After a while, getting to know one another, we end up sleeping together as the chemistry is amazing between us and we are so in sync with one another being open etc, however (and this is rather awkward for me to write this) me thinking, the chemistry is strong which it is, when we get down to it, he wants to please, he says, but 2 hours later (after feeling somewhat sore and knackered like another gym session and drained) he still hasnt come. I feel pretty urgh?? so much built up passion...He says he likes to be in control but I kind of like just going with the flow and seeing what happens and if one person is first, hey who cares, we can go again. My last long term relationships where they were amazing physically, were exactly that, hence why it was so many years we were together etc.

I didnt want to stay over at his either, which isn't like me. Instead I am home feeling a tad deflated or perhaps disappointed and knackered incase we had t go through a marathon again the next morning..... my expectations may have been too high or assuming it would be something else and it not been.

2 hours...literally.....he didnt go soft, so perhaps a good thing but after 2 hours we had to have a break (food lol) then he was turned on again, but he couldn't get hard so, at 2am...Im thinking, Im losing my energy levels here and need to go home before i pass out. So I did and asked him to finish off himself (oops) I know I know, that sounds terrible but i was trying to think not another 2 hours .....and wanted him to feel more relaxed at ease. I have mentioned to him I feel he is uptight which he admits he is and he said he will trust or finds trust an issue, his ex ended up being unfaithful.

He's quite happy with me by the looks of things but Im hoping this isn't an issue, as for me this area is such a big thing xx - any ideas or anyone had the same. Looks like all he wants is to please me which is lovely and isn't selfish but 2 hours....I cant even do 45minutes in the gym - ouch!! - I'm aching this morning...I feel old....oh boy!!

I havent mentioned this to him as I don't want to do or say anything that may hurt him again so will find the time when its right if this happens again, definitely feel its a trust, nervous thing

xx thank you xx

thank you NumanoldNancy, for your understanding, its hard to think of any answer here but he comes across a good guy he isn't nasty to me, like my ex was at the beginning with control yes, this one is gentle and really sweet, normally for me the first signs of control I find are the remarks, the unpredictable behaviour etc he hasnt shown any of that so far in the months, only until the sex came in. Gosh its hard. Thank you for explaining your part with your partner too, thats good to know and nice to hear you are sorting this out for yourselves too.

creativeme · 01/08/2015 13:06

Duckdeamon, i don't think thats a bad phrase to use, just a statement referring to his money issue, its not offensive or meant to be sorry if this upset but not meant to harm or relate to anything upsetting.

BitOfFun · 01/08/2015 13:11

There's absolutely nothing to suggest it's 'probable' he's addicted to porn or prostitutes Hmm from what you've written. That said, he doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun, and I don't think your heart's really in this, so I'd move on and find someone with less emotional baggage.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 01/08/2015 13:15

Duckdemon OP said 'reap' not 'rape'. Sorry OP I couldn't read that and not comment.

OP I've read your post again but not sure, was last night the first time you've had sex with him? First times can often be naff for one reason or another so is there a possibility it was down to that? Maybe he did take Viagra to try and avoid any issues related to nerves and may be regretting it now and embarrassed? Particularly as you left in the the early hours.

He possibly feels really bad. Os that a possibility or am I clutching at straws? Imagine if it wad the other way around and you couldn't orgasm so he left?

ChilliAndMint · 01/08/2015 13:22

I think if he was genuinely blameless for the state of his marriage, I would expect him to be more open about the events surrounding this..

There are early signs of him being over controlling too; the ring tone, putting down his ex, wanting to be in control in the bedroom ( very selfish). Basically dictating what you can and can't do.

At this stage of the relationship I think you need to ask yourself if you want to address this issues with him now at the risk it ending or become further involved with someone who clearly has the potential to become abusive.

The hard on issue is the least of your worries.

creativeme · 01/08/2015 13:24

Oh dear Ilovetorrentiairain - hmm it would be awful the other way around, gosh I hope I'm not too harsh/critical here, just trying to feel a tad calmer, I'm wondering viagra and nerves, thinking possibility here

OP posts:
creativeme · 01/08/2015 13:26

ChilliAndMint - yes thats true, Im just addressing it with him today, it should be natural but its not feeling that at the moment. I hate being dictated to, more so in the bedroom, i have never had that ever before, its just been natural going with the flow. However annoyingly I do like him alot so Im just weighing everything up but it may be a power struggle here??

Ilovetorrentialrain · 01/08/2015 13:30

OP if you really like him I hope it's just 'first time awkwardness' gone wrong and things are improved next time. :)

Have you heard from him today?

kittybiscuits · 01/08/2015 13:40

OP was it my ex? He tells those exact lies about me and was also a cap shag.

kittybiscuits · 01/08/2015 13:40

Crap. Crap shaggy. Grrrr.

kittybiscuits · 01/08/2015 13:41

Oh god. Predictive text. I give up.

scarletforya · 01/08/2015 13:41

Couldn't get hard and then the two hour humping all point to Viagra to cover up an erectile dysfunction issue.

So, I'd dump him.

MyDogAteMyBelt · 01/08/2015 13:45

Nothing worse than a humper that goes on and on for hours. A finger up the backside usually sorts it out though if you get sick.

Wish I knew this a few years ago. I used to lose the will to live with him pumping away. Would have had to borrow someone else's finger though. Or pack the Marigolds.

MyDogAteMyBelt · 01/08/2015 13:48

And to the OP.
sex isn't always amazing the first few times with a new partner. BUT this one has a few red flags flying. I'd be less concerned about his 2 hours than other issues here.

Bonsoir · 01/08/2015 13:52

He sounds like pretty damaged goods tbh... Do you really want to take on so much baggage?

Branleuse · 01/08/2015 13:53

He is on the rebound. Be careful he doesnt just like you for being "not his ex", rather than for who you actually are. It sounds like she is first, middle and last thing on his mind and hes constantly comparing you.

Hes on the rebound, and isnt ready. You will get hurt.
As for whether hes bullshitting about his ex, who knows? It does sound a bit suspicious to be badmouthing her and his family so much

LikeASoulWithoutAMind · 01/08/2015 14:02

I agree that sex isn't always amazing with a new partner but aside from that, he does sound like he has an awful lot of baggage. Like bonsoir, I'm also wondering if you really want to take all that on? Wouldn't someone more straightforward just be so much easier and fun?!

rouxlebandit · 01/08/2015 14:04

Whenever I took Viagra it didn't stop me cumming.

Twinklestein · 01/08/2015 14:08

It wouldn't be the first time a victim if abuse had their own family turn against them in favour if a manipulative charming abuser.

It wouldn't be the first time an abusive man's family turned against him due to his mistreatment of his ex, and he painted her as the abusive one...

chickenfuckingpox · 01/08/2015 14:11

....you don't mention him having children with his ex if he has none (big assumption i admit) why does she still have his number to text abuse to?

from what you have written he sounds like another controller sorry

have you done the freedom programme? if not you might want to pay attention to the warning signs lesson

wafflyversatile · 01/08/2015 14:12

No, though I've never seen it happen.

butterflygirl15 · 01/08/2015 14:18

I agree. You need the freedom programme. The crap sex is the very least of your worries

OrangeVase · 01/08/2015 14:35

I think it is too early to jump to conclusions.
We would not label every woman who complained about her ex a liar and a likely abuser. Why in this case?

The bed thing an be for any number of reasons. I have never had a wonderful first time - always too nervous, concerned to please him, concerned that he needs to please me - and I want to show that he has. etc etc! Always gets better though.

Current DP, (33 years on and off), had an ex, (living together, owned house), who cheated, had a baby with another man, slept with his best friend and then, when they split, got the house, (ok she had to pay him something but nowhere near market value). All true; (and proved to be so after years now of knowing their friendship group)

chickenfuckingpox · 01/08/2015 14:44

its just what she has written produces red flags for a lot of people admittedly there are two sides to every story having heard hers im concerned enough to think she needs to back away and reconsider him
