Venting...

HHE • Married to the love of my life 💕

I've shared about my husband and I having sexual issues. He isn't finishing at all and now he doesn't even get hard. He assures me he's just really stressed about work and can't relax enough to get there.

I guess I get it.

So we agreed I'd back off and let him come to me when he's ready.

I have an extremely high sex drive and I'm getting concerned. We haven't really had sex in weeks and weeks... It's really wearing on me.

Like just now we were watching a show and the main characters had a sex scene and I wound up with tears in my eyes. Freaking Hollywood makes it seem so easy, so great. They never mention that sometimes you just can't have sex. They don't have characters crying their eyes out when they're alone wondering if they're not enough for their partner even though they logically know it has nothing to do with them. They never mention how sometimes erections just don't happen and the lube gets wasted and the moment dies and you go to sleep chafed and unfulfilled.

I'm weirdly emotional about this and I don't know why I am or how to fix it. I know he's going through a lot mentally feeling like he can't perform so I'm afraid to tell him how vulnerable, self conscious, upset and honestly super horny I am. It just is a big mess and I never thought this would affect me this much.
