How Do I Deal With Intimacy And Touch Issues?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pensacola, FL

I crave intimacy, but I hurt so much. I don't tell my bf that I'm in pain, I just do the do and hurt later. 😡 I love him, but so afraid to lose him. Should I tell him? Intimacy is a big part of a relationship, I know he just wants to be near me. What do I do? I haven't said no in two years.😐

Be honest with your partner, if he is the right guy for you he will understand. Guys are never good at second guessing ... we have to spell it out lol take care of yourself. X

He will love you whatever. Dont forgot most woman who dont have fibro say they have headaches when they cant be bothered. At least your pain in geniune and you will be honest with him. There is always ways around this. Xx

Do the do!!! Thank you for making me smile!
I agree with being honest. Part of love is having enough trust to always tell the truth.
Now no more doing the do until the doer tells the doie how the do really makes you feel.

A sensitive lover will "do the do" in a way that brings pleasure, not pain. But he won't have a chance to be this for you if you remain silent on the issue. But now the way to bring it up, right? This will require some creativity on your part. Do you start by educating him about fibromyalgia? Do you start slow? Do you find out what positions are less painful for you first before presenting them as options to.him? First, be sensitive to your own needs and you can proceed from there. God bless you.

Try soaking in bath or nice hot shower this may relax you a bit more hense relieving tension. Even better do it in the shower under hot water!!
