Walked in on my husband mastubating

I've been married a few times, but my husband (current and only one I have children with) is the only time I've actually really enjoyed sex. There's alot I could complain about in my relationship but the sex is wonderful. I don't orgasm through direct sex but he can do easily other ways, and I'm happy with that.

He's not. I don't orgasm the way he wants so he's withdrawn pretty much all sex so I'm very fucking depressed.

I walked in on him mastubating yesterday,
exactly what do I do with this?

Fuck faking an orgasm. Honestly what utter bullshit that a woman should have to stop a man getting upset that SHE didn't orgasm.

I wouldn't stay in a relationship where someone was refusing to have sex with me. You say the sex is fantastic but I'd say that's probably because you're used to a more rough, user type man and now you have an uninterested man you don't feel as threatened during sex. You don't orgasm and you've had sex three times in a year. That's not a good sex life.

Up your standards considerably and try again. There's better out there.

It sounds like you don’t orgasm when you have sex together. It’s probably making him frustrated and not enjoy sex, maybe he feels like he’s just using you and that makes him feel bad about it?

Have you tried orgasming having sex together even if you take care of yourself whilst he’s watching/kissing etc. Not to get graphic! But sex therapy etc could help you find a compromise?!

She is reaching orgasm with him. Just not through PIV.

Fiestytiger · 21/10/2024 22:14

Sex therapy? This situation isn’t getting better is it.

comeondover · 21/10/2024 22:15

@JamDonutAddict you have the right to define your own pleasure. Your husband IBVVVU. If he's truly interested in your pleasure, you need to make him understand you really do enjoy sex with him, regardless of orgasm. He's being very egotistical and immature. If he cares, ask him to put his ego aside and become curious about what you like, to ask you and to listen!

Maybe some of your previous husbands enjoyed sex with you and were disappointed that you didn't enjoy sex with them?
So current husband maybe doesn't enjoy sex with you and prefers masturbating, He has as much right to feel that way about it as you do.

Better luck next time maybe.

ConstanceM · 21/10/2024 22:23

How on earth are you supposed to orgasm to order? or in a particular way? that doesn't make sense..does he want you doing hand stands while you orgasm? I don't get it

Grumpycashier · 21/10/2024 22:28

You could have joined him.....

For OP I suggested it as he was getting a Mard on because OP wasn't having an orgasm with PIV.

Mard- as in Mardy.

Yeah but it’s really, really fucking stupid advice. Nobody should need to fake an orgasm to placate someone else.

I actually can’t believe I’m reading this sort of shit.

Yes! Reward him for withholding sex because she doesn’t come as he thinks she should, by giving him a hand job! Excellent advice.

MiddleagedBeachbum · 21/10/2024 22:32

I’m wondering if this is triggering a really deep wound, and he hasn’t really realised how he’s behaving, perhaps he feels really inadequate and that he can’t satisfy you, and that’s why he’s not being open and speaking about it, instead he’s withdrawing so he’s not reminded every time you have sex that he can’t satisfy you (how he might feel - not the reality!)

Id try coming at it with love and sympathy for his hurt little boy, especially as it sounds like he’s a good guy otherwise and you love him 🥰

Tel12 · 21/10/2024 22:34

It's not about sex. He's unhappy with the relationship for whatever reason. Maybe that's what you need to explore with him..

Please tell me this is a joke. Hurt little boy? Sympathy?

Yes, this is a man she loves and chose to marry.
So I’d approach from a place of - this person loves me, I know they wouldn’t deliberately try to hurt me, so why are they behaving in a way that does.
Id then explain how I felt, and ask them what it was, that was triggering or upsetting them, so we could work through it together.

‘Hurt little boy’ is vomit inducing.

This ‘wonderful man’ is emotionally abusing op by withdrawing sex because she can’t come by him entering her.

There's alot I could complain about in my relationship

Did you also ignore this little nugget from the op?

After walking in on my husband masterbating, (countless times), I happily said I would join him in a film/session. Just a no go on his part.. till I left him.. then he really wanted a shag.. sorry.. too little too late mate!

You’ve clearly never heard of inner child wounds and healing then! We all have wounded inner child aspects that acts of impulse and fear, not our rationale knowledge.
When you’re in a conflict situation with someone you love and want to work through the problem with, to try and understand and empathise with how the wounded aspect of them feels is might helpful 😝

Jesus Christ. I’ve read it all now.

Does this extend to other aspects of abuse? Should a woman who is being physically abused look at ways to support her ‘hurt little boy’?

You’ve also completely ignored the fact op says there are many problems with her relationship, it’s not all roses and love. I imagine because you know you’re spouting utter shite.

And let him use one of your jam doughnuts. See if that worked for you both.

Pussycat22 · 21/10/2024 22:55

Muddledandmiddle, one can only assume that she doesn't moan and groan in ecstacy like his celluloid playmates. Get rid, he's a hopeless case and she deserves better.

tolerable · 21/10/2024 22:55

So-youre rejected because HE set a bar HE can not meet.
Despite your being ok with it-hes got you on punishment duty!! -THIS "I'm wondering if it's a lack of theory of mind" is either the nicest or the nastiest thing i ever read.
ITS THE ABSOLUTE epitomy of WHO he cares about.
which goes right round to "There's alot I could complain about in my relationship"
the sex isnt wonderful!! hes deny it you cos push comes to shove-hes nothin but a tosser.

Yeah my post is going to go astray because I didn't make it clear. I'm fine with him mastubating. He's doing it instead of sex with me because I don't orgasm.

I'm sorry I don't orgasm (I'd love to) but it's difficult for some women. So I'm honest (I love sex but don't mind the orgasm) and his response is "if you don't orgasm you don't like sex"

I'm wondering if it's a lack of theory of mind because he can't understand my way to enjoy sex

How have you not kicked him out already!

fashionqueen0123 · 21/10/2024 23:04

Also you have a baby- that is very lucky if you only had sex three times. Is that right?

margegunderson · 21/10/2024 23:04

Does he believe porn is real? Sounds like he's either very inexperienced or has met too many of the idiot fake it brigade.

Poor bloke should have taken "I've been married a few times" as a red flag and run a mile.
