Fuck Me
I don’t know what to do when I get turned down for sex. I’ve spent a lifetime having an uneven sex drive with my partners, me low, them high. I don’t know how to handle it now when hey, sometimes NB doesn’t want to this very moment when I do.
It’s fine that he doesn’t. He’s not 17 and can, oddly enough, control himself. This is well and good.
Except, I don’t understand. It’s completely outside my realm of comprehension.
I immediately think any number of the following:
I’m obviously unattractive to him.
He finds my nakedness about as titillating as a block of stone.
My advances are stupid and a waste.
Wow, he’d rather do anything but this with me.
I FAIL at normal relationships. How dysfunctional can I make this one?

Girl… we’ve all been there. I’m married and I STILL live there… it’s not just you. Insecurity is a part of our genes I think… Hold yer head high! Yer a babe!

I feel exactly the same. I’m usually the one saying no, but when I get rejected……it must be because I have a puss filled boil protruding from my neck or I smell bad. I never seem to be able to accept “sweetie, I’m just tired”.
WFT?
I always thought I must have brain damage, it’s good to hear that it’s normal!

Same here.

Well, yes, but when you say no, it’s not b/c you don’t find him attractive, is it? It’s about you, then, not about him. So this is too (about him, not about you, I mean).
Go to your happy place and remind yourself of that.
Also, have some rum and coke. (It works for me!)

Delagar, oh yes, this is definitely about my own issues!

Shit. I’m like that with my HUSBAND!
And I don’t know what to do either…

Joe was diagnosed with type II diabetes. The meds he is on, shall we say, DEFLATES his libido.
Even though I KNOW THIS, it still hurts me when he can’t/won’t perform.
Nothing makes me feel older, fatter & uglier than hearing him say, “You can try, but I can’t promise anything….”
yeah. Like I’m going to WORK for it.

I’m in the same boat. I used to be on the low side, but suddently my BF has a lower drive than I do. Weird, huh? After years of having to say no…

Cat, that scares me to no end.
Amy, YES. After all these years…here I am too.

You’d never get turned down by me, NEVER
