I have no energy to participate, just can’t do it, I can barely move enough to get to a commode in the bedroom.

Girl lay there and tell your husband to go head and get to work.
Intimacy is a huge part of a marriage, and I feel like I have lost that with my husband since my diagnosis. The slightest touch in intimate areas feels uncomfortable, so if we do have our time, it's often quick. If I were you, I would try to do other things for him that fulfill his needs, even if it's not on such a strong intimate level like he desires. Living with fibromyalgia, especially while being married takes a toll in so many areas. Still, its always important to communicate with him how you are feeling at any given time and not simply brush him off or reject him when he tries, as men desire that intimate connection. Clearly, since they don't have fibro like we do, they dont understand how we feel or how our body responds in these types of situations.
Hahaha😂
