Am I being over sensitive?

So me and my husband had sex last night (for the second time this year) it seemed good to me but he didn’t “finish” (sometimes he doesn’t- he uses different excuses for why) but then went into the bathroom and I know he was looking up pictures of celebrity women… I don’t know if he “used” them. Just makes me feel so inadequate and down about the whole thing. I don’t know
if I’m just over sensitive? We’ve had a rough year or so where he has ended up being diagnosed with bipolar (but on the right track now) he’s had episodes of hyper sexuality during his ups and downs but still not been really interested in me?

I think context is key. Does he have a porn obsession? Does he ever compare you to the other women? Does he take your pleasure into account even when he doesn't finish? Does he have form for making you feel ir calling you 'oversensitive'.

Then obviously there's your self esteem to consider independently of how he makes you feel. Is it generally OK?

All else aside, you are NOT oversensitive. They are your feelings and you have every right to them. They exist to tell yoi when something is not ok by you. They are perfectly valid.

Total side note but, bipolar and borderline personality disorder are often co morbid. So just a heads up.

Is he on meds for the bipolar? Some meds can affect his ability to climax.

thanks for the replies @Catch21 and @Pinkbonbon i know there’s not much context here. I have another post up the the relationship section with more context if that helps or I can add it here? X
