Hi all. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced the same issues as myself, and for any advice really.
My husband and I have been married 4 years, together for 10 years.
He has always been very much concerned by his appearance, in terms of feeling he never looks good and compares himself to others. He also claims since being with me, he doesn’t fancy any other woman!
Very soon after marrying we found out we couldn’t have kids, and he shut down a lot because of that. Despite trying to talk about it, he never felt I listened to him and made it about me, but I would disagree with that.
Sex has always been an issue, he compares himself to previous relationships I have had, and never has confidence that I am happy with our sex life either.
He hates the idea of me finding another man good looking, and claims if I do I should be with them, not him. Even down to film stars etc.
We are at a point where we are not talking, not communicating at all and I feel we have both given up.
I cannot put up with the what I feel is constant moaning, constant comparing to others etc. I want to have fun, be able to joke if I find another man good looking as I don’t care if he found another woman good looking, it’s natural.
What do we do? I shut down when we keep going over the same rubbish all the time. He doesn’t trust me, and Im just at a point where I think why am I bothering.
Can anyone please give some advice?
