Feeling unsure and sad

I am posting anonymously because this situation is breaking my heart đź’”

This is my second marriage. My first broke down for many reasons including domestic abuse. The children from my first marriage are amazing and I love them to pieces, so although tough, I can’t have regrets.

I still love my second husband - so much, but we have developed problems that he seems unwilling to discuss in a constructive way. I won’t pretend I am perfect - I am not! But I want to work on these issues and make our lives better again.

We have our own children together also.

Sex; he thinks it’s normal that 99% of sexual encounters are pleasurable for him. As in he finishes, I don’t and he doesn’t seem to think this is a problem. His words today (we argued) “if you enjoy doing it you are getting something out of it but shouldn’t expect in return” (because I like touching/massaging him that counts as my “pleasure”. He moans I “take too long” but this gets worse when I try to rush - meaning a vicious circle starts. So in 3 months I have not climaxed at all during sex. He doesn’t seem interested in my body or what I like. A few times he has tried, I have moved his hand or tried to change something but he says “I know what I am doing” and carries on...so I turn off. It feels like he thinks it’s a big horrible chore that he has to finish so wifey doesn’t moan. I miss the feelings, I need the feelings of closeness.

I don’t know what to do. My self esteem has dived, I feel very unattractive. I feel like the only woman with a husband who has a willing wife but he isn’t interested in her body. The roll over to sleep after kills me inside now - I have cried quietly to sleep. It’s not frequency, it’s the quality of sex. It’s the one sidedness that has become the normal.

This spills into daily life - a bit of bickering and sniping (both sides). Probably because i am less tolerant and feel coldness towards him is creeping in. Am I unreasonable or over sensitive? Is real sex this male centred and I have been in a bubble forever?
