o.k. a little background. i am 35 my husband is 38. we have been married (pretty happily, we all have our times) for 12 years. there was a time back in the beginning of our marriage where we had sex problems or lack thereof i should say. we had only been married maybe 3 years or so. he never wanted to have sex. it became a really big issue in our marriage. anyway, that time seemed to pass although i'm not sure if he got more into sex or if i just became less interested due to the fight to get it. anyway, now into the 12th year of our marriage. same problem back again. i always feel like i am the initiator and then i get to sit and wait to see if i get rejected or not. more often than i'd like, i get rejected. he almost never initiates sex unless he knows i'm mad about the lack of it. and even then it seems half hearted. i am by no means trying to sound conceited or anything, but i get a lot of looks from other men and lots of advances also. never a thought in my mind to cheat i might add. i take really good care of myself. i work out i am 5'4" and 105 lbs. i workout and do my hair and makeup everyday. i am very conciencous(spelling?) about my looks. so... if its my looks then i am at a loss. i have gotten "toys" and talked to him about getting books to spice it up, asked him if he'd like anything different, etc... just to try to get it going more, all to no avail. when we do have sex he is so into the oral thing that i feel like we are disconnected instead of getting closer. i have mentioned this to him and he says he'll try harder, but it doesn't really change. i am at the point where i am going to give up initiating sex because i can't take the rejection anymore. it really hurts me that he doesn't seem to want me and i can't figure out why. he always says he's tired. well, i get tired too, but come on. please help i can feel this escalating into something big if something doesn't change.
thanks!
thanks!
