My first time using this so I’m nervous, but for too long now I have had a low sex drive, I have a few health complications and I am only 33.
My medication is a huge factor to this.
Lately I’ve been struggling with intimacy and my partner has recently pressured me into sex which has left me shook.
He is very sex orientated, more than any man I’ve ever met.
We don’t have real conversations anymore, he constantly mentions sex, makes inuendos, touches me in appropriately in public.. and I can’t even go upstairs to the bathroom without him shouting up “are you masturbating??” In a jokey voice.
He says it’s just banter but it’s ALL the time.
It’s making my already low libido even lower.
It’s putting me off and I’m seeing him as this seedy man.
Then the other night happened, we had sex the night before, but when we have sex he gets even worse…. He talks about it even more, tells me what he wants to do next time, then pesters to know when it’s next happening.
So we’re in bed… about to go to sleep and he’s trying it on again, I tell him
“not tonight babe, I’m really not feeling okay”.
He replied with “oh come on, it will make you feel better”.
To which I said “no it won’t, I know my own body, just not tonight… please”
Him- “we never have sex, you always say this”
Me- “we had sex yesterday? And what do you want me to say? I’m in pain ever single day with my condition, some days it’s worse”
Him- “please! I promise it will make you feel good! Come on!”
Me - “no honestly I don’t want to”
Him- “can’t believe this! It’s me isn’t it?! You don’t fancy me? You think I’m unclean or ugly??”
Me- “what the hell?! No I don’t at all, I never once said that”
Him- “well you may aswel have! That’s why you don’t want me”
Me- “it’s not at all, it’s my condition, im never going to be exactly like we were when we first met, you said you understood that and don’t care if my libido is low? Where is this all coming from?”
Him- “you just don’t care about me, I have needs, I feel like you just feel sick when you look at me”
Me- “I don’t what so ever! I love you, im just not in the mood tonight? Im in too much pain?”
Him- “well if I was in pain I would still do it”
Me- “well then you obviously don’t understand the level of pain im dealing with to say that”
Him - “please can we just do it? You won’t even need to do anything, just lay there and I’ll do all the work?”
Me- “you’re not selling this to me at all, I just really can’t be swayed, please stop. The pain is too much tonight”
Him- “but you’ll feel better afterwards, you won’t even give it a try”
Me- (feeling more and more pressure as it’s now around 30 minutes into the full back and forth)
Bottom line, I eventually gave in, hated the whole thing, he got his, I didn’t… I ended up in more pain, unable to sleep even with morphine… I was unable to settle or get a good nights sleep.
I woke up the next day with him talking about sex again, and making stupid jokes.
I feel drained. I have spoke to him a million times about this and how it makes me feel, he seems remorseful at first, says he’ll do this and that and will change how he speaks to me, touches me etc, but then a week later he’s back to behaving the exact same. What do I do? 😭

Why on earth are you with him?!

He’s vile, and this is abuse.

Opentooffers · 13/03/2022 13:19

So far I'm getting that if he pesters, you relent. Its grim of him, but also its taught him that if he pesters, he will get what he wants. Next time he pesters, don't relent because its setting you up for future pestering.
Ultimately, leaving would be the best option, because you are exactly right, he is a sleaze.

Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 13:33

You leave op.

What he is doing is called sexual coercion. It's abuse. And it is a crime.

Get out. Fast and far.

Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 13:36

No means no.
He is vile and he probably belongs on some sort of register. Seriously op, run.

Aquamarine1029 · 13/03/2022 13:37

You get rid of him. That is the only sensible option. He's disgusting.

Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 13:46

And please stop wasting your breath telling him his behaviour is OK and you don't like it. He doesn't care. He is a sicco pervert who views you as an object there for his gratification.

Sex is a mutual act, done with the consent of both parties, for the pleasure of both parties. You are not a wank sock.

Do you live together, how quickly can you get free of him? Because I'm being serious op, you really are in danger around this person.

Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 13:46

*is not ok

Margaretmatcher · 13/03/2022 13:49

Agree with pinkbonbon.
Please leave him he is abusive and you deserve so much better xx

Jonny1265 · 13/03/2022 14:13

@Pinkbonbon

You leave op.

Get out. Fast and far.

This. Leave as soon as you can.
Chobbers · 13/03/2022 14:18

Your account is horrific. I feel so sorry for the position you’re in with this vile man.
Are you in a position to leave him?

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 13/03/2022 14:25

He sounds dreadful. He doesn't care that him getting his end away causes you physical pain.

GaryTheCat · 13/03/2022 14:27

Leave the vile, disrespectful, childish & abusive ‘man’

anothernamedoesntsmellsosweet · 13/03/2022 14:32

Jeez. Please listen to all these posters and make steps to leave. I know it may seem hard to leave if you are struggling with your condition and if you don't work it may seem impossible but please please don't let this carry on

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 13/03/2022 14:39

What you need to do OP is to get rid of him. My ex husband was like this and I eventually had a breakdown. I am not a walking vagina.
Please tell me you are not so desperate to have a relationship that you will put up with this abuse.

NeverChange · 13/03/2022 15:04

Omg, leave. I think I would have murdered him by now. Completely self absorbed, uncaring and a persistent pain in the ass, unable to not have everything his own, pressuring you into have sex.

Run, don't walk.

MadMadMadamMim · 13/03/2022 15:09

He's vile. And your answer when he said You think I'm unclean or ugly don't you should have been , Yes. I do. And so would every other woman in existence. You are a grim sex pest and an utter turn off.

Also he sounds shit in bed. Incapable of making you come. Incapable of understanding that someone in pain is not turned on at the idea of being his wank sock.

End the relationship today.

LittleOwl153 · 13/03/2022 15:15

Have you told him what you had to do to cope with last night?
When he starts tonight tell him you will not feel better afterwards you had to take morphine to cope with the extra pain and will not be doing that tonight. When he starts with the crap tell him to go away and leave you alone.

It's NOT OK for him to be treating you like this.

You need to leave him. He will not improve.

Livvy2 · 13/03/2022 16:23

I can leave, I just needed the advice so I know it’s not all in my head and I’m not over reacting.
I have my own company so I do have my own financial support, I’m not dependant on him in any way so don’t worry everyone.
I can get out.
I just needed to know that this was actually wrong and what I’m feeling isn’t invalid. I know that’s not right.
It’s been a feeling in my gut for quite some time now, and I needed opinions. (Unbiased ones)

OP posts:
Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 16:27

Thank goodness you can get out.

Your feelings are absolutely valid.
No person in.their right mind treats their partner like a tool for their own pleasure. Let alone when their partner is in pain.

He absolutely knows what he is doing is wrong. But he clearly doesn't think womens choices matter. He's fundamentally a wrong'un.

Livvy2 · 13/03/2022 16:27

Thank you everyone for all of your comments, it’s given me the kick I needed.

OP posts:
Pinkbonbon · 13/03/2022 16:31

Good luck ending it clean and safely.

Be prepared for him to gaslight you ('you're over reacting ect...) and try to invalidate your feelings.

I'd just stick to plain statements like 'this doesn't work for me anymore' and don't be drawn into argument.

Maybe have someone else with you when you break up if pos. And stay until he is gone ideally.

He doesn't respect boundaries and these sorts do not like being told no. If they can not coerce what they want from you, it is possible they might get violent. Take no chances.

Good luck!

PandoraVictoria · 13/03/2022 16:46

That is appalling. No understanding, no respect. I'm not surprised you don't want sex with him!!!

Crikeyalmighty · 13/03/2022 17:00

He doesn’t have needs Op, at least not this level - he has ‘wants’ — get rid, he sounds an immature sex pest

OhamIreally · 14/03/2022 09:03

Glad to hear you're independent and can leave. Good luck and don't let him gaslight you as pp said.

Buy some nice new bedding and luxuriate in peaceful nights' sleep. Hopefully it will help your health condition to improve.

mbosnz · 14/03/2022 10:37

I'm so glad you are able to leave, have maintained financial dependence - which given the amount of pain you are suffering, is a real testament to you.

He is absolutely horrible. To pester you for sex, knowing you're in pain, not caring that it makes it worse. . . words fail me.
