My Wife (F23) and I (M25) got married 2 weeks ago. Were currently on our honeymoon and have one week left. We've been together for 2.5 years.
We started our relationship while living in different cities, about a 3 hours drive away. Both of us had jobs where we travelled a lot, so we saw each other at random intervals. E.g. 2 weeks one month, then nothing for a month, and then every weekend etc.
After 8 months, she got a job I'm my city, but we still didn't want to jump head first, so she rented a place for 6 months, then we moved in with each other.
During the first 8 months we had a lot of sex every time we saw each other. Like A LOT! But it was new and exciting and we didnt see each other that often. When she moved, we slept at each others place about every other night and had sex at least twice a day. It was a lot, but I enjoyed it. Then we moved in together and I just assumed it would either be the same amount spread out or less. But it increased. At least 10-14 times a week. Sometimes more.
We're currently on our honeymoon and I think my dick is going to fall off. Christ that woman has a sex drive. Also my jaw is hurting from going down so much, to give my dick a break. I love her, and we're great communicators generally, but how do I tell my wife I need a break without hurting her feelings? I'm afraid she's going to have a negative response. Or almost blame herself for not stopping before, or not seeing any clues. She's a people pleaser with everyone else, and I'm afraid she's going to feel bad for forcing me to do it this much. And that is definitely not what's been happened. I just can't keep going at this tempo.
Any tips?
TDLR; My wife's sex drive is more than I can keep up with. At this point it's anywhere between 3-6 times a day. How can I communicate that to her without hurting her feelings?
