Thank you so much for writing back. It feels comforting to know that I'm not the only one going through this. It's just really confusing, you know?
I always thought that was one of the things a man's always wanted in a a wife. Not a major thing, but at least one of the things. He always says it isn't about sex, it's about other things, which I completely agree with, but that doesn't mean that NO sex is the right way to be in marraige.
I got some really good advise from my mother (of all people) that I shouldn't let it bother me or make me feel un-attractive, that he loves me very much, or he wouldn't have married me if he wasn't attracted to me. Whatever his reason may be, sex just probably isn't that important to him. He has given me no signs of cheating, and the sex aside, he is everything in a man that I could ever ask for.
My mother told me that in her second marriage, she had the same situation with her husband, except it was the other way around. He wanted to have sex all of the time, and once they got married, she really didn't think sex was all that important. He used to want it all the time, and when she didn't feel like doing it he would start to get angry. When that happened, she REALLY didn't want to have it and it just pushed her farther away. Well, he became almost obsessed, to the point where he actually did a survey with his co-workers on how many times a week them and their partners had sex. She was furious when he told her he did this, but out of curiosity, wanted to see the results he had come up with. Some couples said they had sex, 2 or 3 times a week, some said they had it once or twice a month, and all were okay with it.
My mother later came to find out that he was addicted to sex and she found out he was cheating on her, too. Well, I know that this isn't the same as my situation. I don't want to have sex with anyone but my husband, and the thought of cheating on him literally makes me sick. We have a great relationship and love each other very much, but I have to remember that the more of a big deal I make of this, whether he's emarrased or just doesn't think it's that important, it will probably just push him further away. Every time I bring it up, especially when I'm angry about it, it just makes it look like sex is all I care about, and that just isn't true.
So what I'm going to try now is to probably go and buy a toy, use it when I'm feeling the most frustrated (and not rub it in his face) and I'm going to just wait and try my best to not let it bother me. And hopefully he will come around. I'm not going to be mean about it, but I'm tired of it being an issue in our marriage. I can't let this ruin our relationship. It isn't worth it.
Hopefully that is the best way to handle it. It's the best way I can think of now, so it's worth a try. We'll see what happens. A guy loves a girl who doesn't let thibngs bother her, so I'm not going to let it bother me anymore, and I'll just let him come around when he wants to. I'm sure he will.
Hopefully that helps!
