Sorry for TMI ahead of time. I have gained weight and already don't feel comfortable in my own skin. ( Just putting that out there) My husband works crazy busy days and I understand that there are times when well you can't be intimate. My husband has been on vacation and I have tried to send messages and plain old come out and said I want sex ..... I've been told many things.. oh I'm tired ..you should have asked earlier .....blah blah blah. All week. I'm feeling pretty low right now, rejected… read more

Thank you your honesty is profound , my story is slightly similar but I even being a writer can't seem to get those words out yet . When I do you will know why . Thank you it helps when other people make me feel not alone.:)

I know exactly what you mean, here's what I mean... In May I technically died of pneumonia and spent weeks in the hospital most of it sedated and intubated... Every member of my family thinks now that I'm made of glass my husband included he won't make love to me as we used to because he's afraid he'll break me or put me back in hospital... His words
Now upon leaving the hospital I had lost every single bit of my body weight I mean literally skeletal.... I've had to fight to put every bit of anything back on and I'm still fighting against my family to prove that I'm not made of glass I can and am taking care of myself and my kids ....
To your husband you need to be frank .... Tell him that the you who he fell in love with is still there... Still fighting and still wanting too ....

Debb50 i have came to realize that the more you share your story the more the weight is lifted off of you ! for a person who has been raped , it is not there fault ! and besides rape is not about sex , it is about power and about belittling one! so any raped person should never feel like they did anything to deserve any thing that happened to them ! i do not care if they are in the middle of the act , no means no ! or if they are drunk and some one has sex with them , that does not give anyone the right to touch the women or man ! love , prayers , and hugs i send to you my sister !always michele
