He's putting conditions on having sex with me

My husband (don't want to say DH as doesn't feel that D at the moment) has had problems with intimacy and sex our whole marriage. In hindsight I shouldn't have married him as it's now non existent. I asked him what we should do and he said well you know what to do. Heels and lingerie. I just feel I shouldn't have to dress up and besides which he has rejected me SO much in the past it's killed all my confidence and I would feel a 'fool' and like I was opening myself up to more hurt when he still doesn't want to. Am I being selfish? Should I dress up for him? Even though it makes me uncomfortable ? Please help.

You're not big at all. Not even 9 stones.

The fact is that he's always had a problem with intimacy. So it's not you that's the issue here... It's him. Why did he marry you and if he didn't fancy you. Chances are he's had problems in that department all his adult like.

It's one thing to say he likes lingerie for you, but the high heels feels slutty if it's not what you want to do.

If he was saying he wants to spice things up and do new stuff, that would be fine...but he's basically saying his lack of interest is down to you.

Is he a good lover? Considerate? Does he ensure that you are satisfied, before his orgasm?

This reminds me of someone I know. He told his GF his lack of interest in sex was because of 'the packaging'..That she needed to dress up in a red basque. The truth was he was not good in bed.

I knew 2 other GFs of his with the same complaint. He would have a headache and when he did do it, he lasted a few minutes and leaving them all unsatisfied.

He eventually married and his wife (now divorced) had the same issue. She complained that they lived like brother and sister.

All that blame and ducking and diving, is a way of deflecting from the fact that he's (pardon my French) ....... shit in the sack

If I was you, I'd not bother having sex or initiating it with him. I'd be getting my ducks in a row to leave the marriage, in a peaceful way. While doing that, I would get my social life up and running, ready to fully enjoy once I end it.

Start going out with your friends, develop new interests and try meeting new people.

it will increase your confidence and you'll feel attractive too.

This is the kind of man that deserves to be left for an OM.

He sounds awful!
True - he will have good qualities, but if you're noticing more and more problems after initially thinking it was just the sex, that says a lot.
It's good you spoke to him, be strong in whatever decision you make OP!

True fact: If arseholes don't have some good qualities they would never be able to get lovely women to have relationships with them.

Even if he DID go to the gym and get the body of a god, he'd still have a nasty personality and sex issues. Tell him to go f*ck himself. In lingerie and heels, if he so desires.

Come home on holiday & don't ever go back.

It's NOT you 💐

The children might be upset initially, but you'll do FAR more damage to them long term staying with him. Truly.

My h was the same and I couldn't work out why as I was far more attractive than him....clearly he had intimacy issues and preferred porn and was also cheating with sex workers for 10 years.
he also thought he was some kind of God. Honestly they have addled brains.
So do check if there's some hidden life going on. Normal men just don't act like this.
