Struggling with Intimacy in a Long-Term Relationship
So, I’ve been dealing with this issue for a long time now. In a week, my family and I are going on a vacation to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I should be excited about it, but I can’t shake this feeling of anxiety. My husband has some unresolved issues that are affecting our relationship, and it’s making me hesitant to be intimate with him.
I can’t figure out if my lack of desire for intimacy is due to my age or if it’s because of my feelings towards my husband. We have young kids and a lot on our plates, and I feel overwhelmed by his constant demands for intimacy when I’m already exhausted.
My husband has always had performance issues in the bedroom. It took a while for him to open up about it, and even longer for him to seek help. This has caused a strain on our relationship, and I find it hard to connect with him on a physical level.
I’ve been through a lot in my life, and I’ve worked hard to overcome past traumas. I believe in compassion and understanding, but I’m struggling to find that connection with my husband. I want things to change, but I’m not sure if they ever will.
I’ve talked to therapists about this issue for years, but I still can’t seem to make a decision. I love my family, but I can’t ignore the fact that I feel disconnected from my husband. I’m torn between staying in a sexless marriage or taking a chance on something new.
