"He wants it twice a day!" "She would be happy to go a whole month without touching me." Does this sound familiar?

tell him? i don't think so

Quote From: lilacmess

Tell your husband how you're feeling. That ought to help you say no. And you have to say no because not only are you married but so is the guy. You have no right to destroy his life just because you want to use him to feel a certain way. You need to start having sex with your husband again. The two of you need to commit together to repairing your marriage so that sex is once again a desire you both have for each other. If he isn't willing to do this, then I think you owe it to both yourself and him to end the marriage, because obviously you miss sex. Put the focus back on your marriage and try like hell to get it back to a good place. Cut off all contact with this other guy and empower your husband to hold you accountable. If, after a reasonable time, things still haven't improved with your husband and the marriage is still sexless, then at least you'll know that you've tried everything and that you've truly earned your way out of the marriage.
I don't think that will help. It's only going to make him jealous. I think I'm going to see a counselor first. But thanks for helping me put my brakes on. You have a valid point.

my boyfriend wants me fat

Hello, I am a young girl about 24 and I have been with my boyfriend for 8 years. I love him very much but, he wants me to gain weight. I am only 5'3 and I stay around 115bls. I’m not bone skinny either. I have always been a little self-conscious and for me gaining weight is making me feel bad. I feel his desire for larger women has become a big issue in our relationship. I don’t know if I should just suck it up because I am being to vain or if this is some sort of abuse. He tells me that he loves me and I am very pretty but he doesn’t find me sexually attractive. I find myself telling him I want to do this for him just to make him happy because he makes me feel so bad if I don’t. He will not even look at me if he doesn’t think I’m trying to gain weight. I would like it if he would just accept me and not have expectations. I understand if someone has a preference but he has me felling very much tormented inside.

  

 

            What should I do? Am I being to selfish?

  

 

Thank you all for your time.

the main problem is your relationship, not the amount of sex you want or don't want. If he is an alcoholic then why are you scared that he might leave you? Seems like he has turned you off totally, sepecially since you say you think about sex and want it but when it comes down to having sex with him you don't want it. You might be doing yourself and him a favor if you left. 

  

Untill he gets help for this drinking(maybe AA) and you get some help(maybe Alanon)to deal with how erroded your relationship is...you won't be getting your sex drive back anytime soon. Good luck ~Red

Thank you all for your time. 

do actually prefer big women. Others use it as a way to control their women. They think that if they get them fat enough, no one would look at them. This makes them feel secure, see he may be a very insecure guy who doesn't trust that you love him for him.... And he should love you for you, the way you are and have been for 8 yrs! Time to rethink the time you have invested in someone who wants you to change how you look. Your only 24 and much too young to waste any more time with someone who doesn't find you sexually attractive. Why would you even consider making yourself feel so terrible just to please some need he has? 

  

Turn the tables and find something that you know he would hate to have to do and tell him you want him to do it or else... I bet you'd find him walking away with the door hitting him in the azz on the way out!

i think it sounds like you are not interested in sex because you have so many feelings of anger/stress twards your husband. i have experanced the same with my boyfriend of 8 years. he has stressed me out so much i cant even look at him. do you feel like this? about his drinking? i think you should not feel pressure to have to do it in an exstreem way. i feel alot of a womens sex drive rests in her head, your not happy and its effecting your sex life. its ok to think of yourself. 

good luck
