Advice please on sex

Hi I have just joined here. I have been with my boyfriend 10 years, we have two boys 5 and 7. When we first go together I was 19 and we had sex all the time, he did tell me that he had a high sex drive and that he liked a lot of sex. But at the start we were doing it all the time I thought it's never going to change. But it did.
So there were ups and downs in the bedroom department until our first son Was born. I had a c section and wasn't interested in sex but after about a month he put pressure on, saying everyone else does it sooner and moaning about it. Do I gave in to shut him up.
Then after our second son again he pressured me. I had given birth naturally this time and had stitches. I was constipated and really not wanting sex. But he said that everyone does it a couple of weeks after and that we should. So I gave in again. I didn't enjoy it.
He has always wanted to have a mmf threesome, something I'm not up for. And started hinting at it and also suggesting swinging. He said it would make my sex drive come back. I told him it's not for me. Eventually he joined a swinging website.to show me couples. I said to him if he wants he can talk to people but not do anything. And he wasn't aloud to show them photos of my face.
Soon he was talking to a couple and he added Kik messenger on my phone so I could talk to them. I said no I'm not taking to them. He was annoyed and said it makes it look like he is lying to them he has a partner. After I bit of arguing he let slip that he had sent photos of me, my face. I was furious. But eventually he talked his way out of that.
A year passes and he starts telling me that he loves me, but isn't in love with me. So I sit and think. I'm selfish to expect him to live the rest of his life with out trying swinging. So I told him I would maybe try. Eventually we went to a club, it was aweful I didn't do anything just went for a look. So he said we will try another and went to a different one, it's expensive to get in and I felt I had to do something so he wouldn't be annoyed so we had sex together just us. We went back a second time and I thought he is going to be expecting more this time so we met a couple. I was in now way attracted to them. We went to a room and started having sex he wanted me to let the man be inside me so I let him. But it was horrific, I was dry and uncomfortable so I said stop, apologized and went to get my clothes. Then my boyfriend looked and me and said I'm not finished so I had to lay down again and wait for him to be done.
When we left he was so happy, and expressed how much he loved me.
That was the end of any swinging for me much to his annoyance.
Now I am stuck, we hardly have sex I never feel turned on.
He keeps telling me if I don't put out he will go elsewhere. During the Christmas holidays he told me if he knew he wasn't getting any he would of stayed at work.

I feel shit, I should want sex with him but I just can't do it. I told him how I feel and he says he doesn't want split up. On valentine's Day he spent the whole day ignoring me because he hadn't had any. He mutters things under his breath at me. He is always pointing out "fit women" on TV or if we go anywhere he makes it obvious he is looking at them.
Sometimes he will do some housework and expect sex in return for it.

Currently I feel so lost. I feel bad to leave him because we have kids and he says he loves me. I don't want to hurt them. I don't know if I am just over sensitive.

Please give me advice on what I should do

Amanda87 · 18/02/2021 09:31

What the fuck?????????
Are you serious about this guy?
I'm so sorry, but this guy HAS TO LEAVE.
That's so disrespectful I wouldn't even know how to start talking about it...

GRAK · 18/02/2021 09:32

Leave this horrible abusive man

pinkyredrose · 18/02/2021 09:34

He has no respect for you. Please leave, this relationship isn't making you happy. Do you want your boys to learn that this is how women are treated?

What's your housing situation, own/rent/joint names etc?

Lifeispassingby · 18/02/2021 09:35

What do you need to do? In one word- LEAVE

Quartz2208 · 18/02/2021 09:37

I agree freedom programme.

What do you get out of this?

DerbyshireMama · 18/02/2021 09:38

This is sexual abuse. There is a wonderful life waiting for you away from this horrible man. Please don't give him any more of your precious time on this earth.

Dancingwithdreams · 18/02/2021 09:38

Oh my goodness! This is awful. Just awful.
You deserve so much better. Leave and never look back.

PinkPlantCase · 18/02/2021 09:39

This is the biggest LTB I have ever wanted to say.

Sorry to be blunt OP but this man doesn’t love you and clearly doesn’t care for you or respect you.

He’s meant to care about your feelings and want you to be happy. It was already bad enough after he made you have sex after the DCs when you didn’t want to.

Him pressing you into letting another man inside you when you didn’t want them to is fucking horrific.

SpringtimeBluebells · 18/02/2021 09:42

Wow

Why are you with this piece of shit? He doesn't value you or love you. To him you are a thing to have sex with or if he can convince you pass around to others.

Run leave go . Why do you not value yourself?

Please leave him

SammySays · 18/02/2021 09:42

I felt sick reading this. Please leave and look after yourself Flowers

GoLightlyontheEarth · 18/02/2021 09:43

This is absolutely unspeakably horrific. How can you love a man who treats you like this? He is an abuser. He doesn’t love you, he’s using you and he’s absolutely vile. Please get away from him and never look back.

Lozzerbmc · 18/02/2021 09:43

Oversensitive?!!! Crikey he has brainwashed you! Do you think you are some kind of sex slave put on this earth just to do as he wishes? Why arent your wishes important?
Im sorry to say he doesnt love you remotely.
You need to leave him. Have you somewhere you and the boys can go to? Any family? Assume you dont work?

Make a plan to have a future without him but dont tell him. Good luck. There is a better life out there for you.

TheSandman · 18/02/2021 09:45

I was dry and uncomfortable so I said stop, apologized and went to get my clothes. Then my boyfriend looked and me and said I'm not finished so I had to lay down again and wait for him to be done.

That is rape.

25yearsnhsworker · 18/02/2021 09:46

I am sorry op but he has no respect for you and you deserve so much better.
Please start planning a route out. What's your housing situation?

totiredtocaresixk · 18/02/2021 09:47

Leave if your friend told you this story would you tell her to stay ?

In all honesty this is that bad im questioning if this is a hoax story?

ShopTillYouDropp · 18/02/2021 09:48

Oh gosh this is horrific, is this for real?

QuentinWinters · 18/02/2021 09:50

Leave

flappityflippers1 · 18/02/2021 09:51

Holy fucking shit. Here - you have my very first LTB.

I feel sick reading your OP - you need to get out of this relationship and fast. That is so abusive, the fact he made you stay and has been making you have sex when you don’t want it is rape.

Please leave him, you deserve so much better than this.

nobodysdaughter · 18/02/2021 09:53

Oh no! No wonder you don't want to have sex with this abusive piece of shit!
You don't owe sex to ANYONE. You've had a really traumatic time with this man, and you need to leave.

misskatamari · 18/02/2021 09:53

Oh my god. Leave him. Leave him. LEAVE HIM! He is AWFUL! This is abuse, plain and simple, and it is no way to live. Please, please, get out. This is not your fault, how he is treating you, is not your fault. His behaviour is utterly disgusting, coercing you into sex (including weeks after giving birth and having abdominal surgery! Wtaf!)

This man does NOT love you. You don't treat someone you love this way. God most people wouldn't treat someone they don't even like in this way.

He is not a good man. He is abusing you and I guarantee you will be so much happier if you get him out of your life.

SilverRoe · 18/02/2021 09:55

‘I feel shit, I should want sex with him but I just can't do it‘

Sorry but why on earth ‘should’ you want sex with someone who is sexually coercive, has no respect for your boundaries and has betrayed your trust after you didn’t even want to be involved with the swinging stuff?

You natural reaction to all that is to NOT want sex with this pos sexual abuser.

SummerHouse · 18/02/2021 09:58

There is not the tiniest window of opportunity for you could stay happily together. He has broken your trust, disrespected you, abused you. He is a whiny sex pest at best and a dangerous predictor at worst.

flappityflippers1 · 18/02/2021 09:58

@totiredtocaresixk
