I only want to have sex at a certain time of the month(sorry if TMI)!

Am a regular but have namechanged.

DH and I have been together about 15 years. He as always been attractive to me and until recently our sex life was pretty good, if not as regular as DH would like.

I noticed recently though that the ONLY time I want to have sex is when I am ovulating. I just cannot abide being touched (or mauled it feels to me) at any other time. I just don't feel like it at all.

In fact, two or three times a month would be enough for me whereas DH would like it at least two to three times a week. He always makes the first move and gets really huffy if I refuse-accuses me of being boring, says he is going to pay for it, I am always tired etc. etc.

The week before my period, I feel like screaming if I give in and let him have his way. I could literally punch him in the face whilst we are in the middle of it. I find it really hard to get enthusiastic, all I am thinking is "just hurry up". Everything he does makes my skin crawl and I feel extremely irritated by the way he kisses me or plays with my nipples. He wanted to go down on me (sorry-am embarrassed typing this) last night and I just didn't want him to-it made me feel like screaming. Physically, I feel nothing when we have sex, it's like I am numb. Actually, I feel one thing-anger. I also feel violated, like I am being touched against my will.

I have said to him I just don't feel like it or I'm not in the mood, but I HAVE to do it at LEAST once a week as it's affecting our relationship and I'm not sure what is wrong with me. I know that it's my hormones that makes me feel like it when I am ovulating, so where does that leave me? I'm frightening myself thinking that I have fallen out of love with my DH.

Has anyone else experienced this and managed to get back what they had?

LeQueen - its true and very succinctly and accurately put if I might say so.

Hmm, what about all these "straightforward" men on dozens of other threads who don't want to have sex with their wives and won't discuss it?

What about all the narcissists/abusers/manipulators?

Saying that all men are easy to read and straightforward is as silly as saying all women want babies.

These boards prove otherwise.

The only bloke I "get" is my own - he only comes in one flavour - honesty, sometimes quite brutal honesty, but I need that because I do over analyse everything and I need him to tell me when I'm being a total muppet.
