Yes mine can feel like that. My friend suggested erotic literature and I haven’t looked back! Download on your phone and give it a go X

Well I'm sure your husband's attitude isn't helping matters! What's he like generally? Is he kind and respectful to you, does he take on a fair share of the load at home? No one should pressure anyone for sex (that's illegal!).

That’s true - nobody should do anything they don’t want to but at the same time, it’s a reasonable expectation as part of a marriage.
Perhaps he does the lions share of the work and he does pull his weight - obviously we don’t know.
So it comes down to him putting up with it, agree to take sex off the cards (it already is), and open marriage or split up.
