"Got too much work on" "Am Tired" " Not enough work on" "no money" "man flu" "headache" "aching arm" "I am too keen" "I make an issue of it" "dont think about it non-stop like me" "dont like my underwear" " dont like the one hair on my nipple"........  But I do love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it goes on and on, well I dont like feeling unsexy, unattractive, emotional, cant work, unfanciable, cant stop thinking about it, controlled, and definately Unloved! well I will just have to be with someone that does WANT me!!!!

Sorry had to share this to vent out some anger, am sure you may have experienced some of these comments yourself.  Well its not me and its not you.....

Hiya!

Welcome to the board...

Yes I can sympathise with that! I have had comments that are very similar and after so long, you do start thinking they are excuses to not have sex with you! I can totally understand that and yes it is very frustrating!!!! arrrgggh!

And what I find is worse when you try adn talk about it with them they just don't understand why!!!! In my situation I have a much higher sex drive then my BF, and I have spoken about to him and with a very close friend as it was getting ridiculous! lol... and what I also get frustrated with is that we are the ones that have to comprimise and try and suppress our feelings and needs!!!

So I totally understand!

Thank you!!

 

yes knew you'd understand, we have to compromise the whole time, I am obviously a sex addict and live with the total reverse - 6 and half years now, and lots of arguing, been to the counsellor obviously it was my fault the only thing she helped with was that "it wasnt me" that he didnt want to have sex with, he has a low sex drive and I try to understand that!!!!

does help to know all the symptoms we experience are not unique to us!!!!

Hell no! You are not alone!!! lol...

It is very hard living with someone with a low sex drive when you yourself has a very high one and trying to manage it with out getting frustrated and agitated is really really difficult! because we are told that if you do, they feel even more pressured and will want sex even less....
