I’ve been married for 8 years and my husband (40) has always had an insatiable sexual appetite. Before kids we had sex practically everyday. Now, I’m happy with 3 times a week, but he pursues sex daily. He often makes sexual comments, hugs me or gives me sexual looks, talks about what he wants to do, and he initiates sex throughout the day. I work from home some days, and he’ll initiate sex with me when he knows I have an appointment in 5 minutes and want to drink my coffee or have a minute to myself before I start.
It’s at a point that I’m often uncomfortable, starting to feel unattractive to him, and frankly want to avoid him. we’ve had tons of discussions around this issue and it keeps coming up.
I’m not sure if there’s a better way to communicate or solve this problem. I’m feeling uncomfortable and wanting to just get away. I also feel like he has no alternative ways to relate or connect with me in a healthy way. Would love to hear if anyone has had experience with this.
