Hi
Just to give some background....DH and I have been together 8 years; 2 children (5 and 2) had fairly turbulent relationship since DS due to money problems and general stresses of a 2 year old. Sex has been fairly constant, nothing mind blowing but I've been content and nd he's seemed to be aswell. Been getting on completely fine. He started a new job recently and we had a row over a female colleague. I spose I felt like he was putting her first. Anyway he then goes on to say that I'm always on his case nagging him (which I don't think I do) and we need to go on a break. We've discussed the issues and he says that our relationship has lost its zing and he wants to feel that new feeling again and maybe if we spiced things up again he would get that feeling back. Typical 7 year itch type scenario. I have taken everything he's said on board and last night I felt like we had a breakthrough emotionally anyway and then he started asking (not just once) for me to send him saucy pics and videos. I have sent him the odd underwear pic throughout our marriage but not for a while. He said that if I did this every now and then it would show him that I want him to see what he's missing and it'd get him excited and want me sexually and non sexually. After alot of persuasion and him convincing me that he had taken some of my gripes on board aswell, I did it. I sent him some videos and in honesty I actually enjoyed myself. But today I feel like a young girl again like I've been mugged off in some way. He has been abit distant not texting me much. He is training away at the moment so I won't see him until next weekend . Sorry for the long post but was I foolish? I feel like I don't know him anymore after discovering hes into more kinkier things maybe I'm over reacting....my brains gone into overdrive and I'm wondering if he doesn't really want me for me but for his high sex drive. I have no idea really.

I know some people will disagree with me. But I think it is sleazy, 'consenting' or not. And I think its sleazy of her husband to ask her.

Its just going along with the porn focus in our culture ...

That's cool, it feels sleazy to you. But the op enjoyed herself, that doesn't make it sleazy for her.

It's a tricky one really. I'll definitely think about getting some sort of vibrator and that'll be for me and not for him. And maybe see how he is over the next few days because I don't mind going out of the comfort zone if he is going to act like he appreciates I'm making an effort and puts in some effort too. I th it does feel sleezy atm because it does feel like it's to stop him leaving and that's where the issue is...thanx for all ur comments it helps get my mind straight !!

Just don't let his behaviour make you feel sleazy. You're not.

I'm surprised he's not looked at getting you to have an orgasm. I definitely go along with getting a vibe. Try starting with a bullet vibrator. You can get one from Amazon. Fantastic they are.

I hope him wanting a break, is not code for wanting to cheat while you're separated.

Please tell him how you feel. You did something out of your comfort zone to please him. Tell him that his lack of response made you feel insecure and that he didn't appreciate the effort you have made.
