Have name changed for this, obviously. Married for many years but although we intellectually connect and have fun the sexual side of it has never been quite right. DH seems inhibited and isn't really up for anything out of the ordinary. Anyway, I'm on this committee to do with work and through it I met X who is a few years younger than me, overweight, totooed and into bling (really not my type)on his third marriage and very good company. Not obviously attractive but there is something about him. he is a nurse who holds an administrative position and has that nice empathic manner that male nurses sometimes do. Anyway one thing led to another and before I knew where I was I was being bombarded with texts, invited for drinks and we began to see each other.We do get on very well, not just sexually. It has really messed my head about. As we both have families ( though mine are teens, his daughter is 11) we agreed we would not run away togerther, but both said we would like to.He is an acomplished lover and I do want him physically but each time we get close to having sex he pulls back and says that is not as high on his agenda as it is on mine ( though he invites me round to his house when his wife is out), sends me porny pictures and tries to have sex in wierd positions, but never actually does very much. I've been really silly over this and I'm now unreasonably and stupidly totally in love with him and I think I'm scaring him off by being a bit OTT. I'm just so upset and want to be with him and I feel miserable because he doesn't think it is reasonable I think sex is so important and now he is off to Devon on holiday for a week and I just can't cope and he thinks it is unreasonable of me tobe upset.I've tried really hard with DH over the years but no oral sex, not much sexual activity and no talking in bed leaves me very frustrated. No one will have any sympathy with me but I just can't cope with this on my own. Lover thinks I should be happy just to meet for a grope every now and then in a car park - or to pay for hotel for our meets.(he seems to have no money despite earning more than me)What a mess, am I being unreasonable to want more from X - or is he right that I should just chill out and enjoy what is on offer? If I give him up I'm going to feel distraught, upset and lost, but I feel like sh*t anyway. Don't want to leave DH, love him but can't cope with barren sex life forever - I'm getting on a bit and this might be my last chance.Abit of sensible advice and insight please.

His idea of intimacy is sending you anal pics? ewww. The bit of happiness he wants to give you is surely not the kind you'd actually want? He's treating you like a cheap tart (not saying you are one, just that he's clearly after someone who is).

And how can you know he's not been unfaithful to his wife before? Why would he ever admit to you if he had, he clearly hasn't told his wife any of it? I'd seriously be worried about any STI's he might be harbouring if I were you..

AnyFucker · 19/08/2009 21:53

fgs, don't get your anal pics out at a Boden shopping party !!!!

I'm curious whether his anal pics did anything for you- I actually vomited in a sex shop on Oxford street which was playing a video of somebody's bum turning into the Dartford tunnel. I didn't make any purchases.

AnyFucker · 19/08/2009 21:55

shiney, I would have put this one down to you, if I didn't know better

Right, I feel a bit better now I have got a fuller perspective. I will just bide my time until he comes back from his holiday and leave him to contact me, and just play it cool. Then I can be more objective about how he is, it all sounds horrible when you write it down, but it is as it is, all true and because I've missed excitement for a while I 've rather got sucked into the pervy; stuff and just realised it isn't all that satisfying. yes, he has got an electric tongue and is a great kisser, and very funny - thats how I got involved in the firstplace. He left his first wife when his son was young and won't put his daughter through that ( his parents divorced too) and I understand that, I don't really want to leave my family either, though sometimes I think I would. I think I'll go for counselling if it is still messing my head up when I come back from my holiday in September, maybe as time goes by it wioll get clearer, the problem is he thinks he is no;rmal and I am unreasonable and tells me I am too obsessed by sex!

I'm really sorry, but the positions description is reminding me too much of the sexual technics thread and I can't stop laughing.

ooh link t that one please tidey

veryconfusedandupset · 19/08/2009 22:08

The anal pics were a follow on from a search he did for red stockings for me - he did apologise but I admit I just thought they were funny - he is not really very pervy in the way that comes over.

Sexual technics- perhaps it's the same guy?

toomanystuffedbears · 19/08/2009 22:13

I thought of the being photographed (or filmed ) thing too...does he cover or mask your face at all?-(seriously hoping so)

Hope you don't end up on the internet-at least your disinterested dh wouldn't be looking up porn online.

You might be alot more confused and a very lot more upset if you find out what he is really up to. And please get checked for STD, asap.

Maybe this will "learn ya" to find happiness from within yourself, iykwim. I sincerely hope these are not the consequences of your "extramarital activities" but the very thought of it ought to be a cold enough shower.

Tidey · 19/08/2009 22:14

sexual technics

Tidey · 19/08/2009 22:15

I have to relearn how to do links every time, too slow there
