[quote=Anonymous]Curious if I am overreacting or my husband is just shaming me into thinking I am? My H best friend and his wife (who I am fairly close to) and us socialize pretty regularly. I am considered to be the prude of the bunch and that's OK, that is who I am and I am fine with it. My friend and her husband are both outgoing, good looking, loud, boisterous types of people. They openly display their love in terms of being very touchy feely. She will flirt with just about any man but not in a tacky way, in a playful way. Just trying to explain the dynamics here.

I very confidentially confided in her that I had no sex drive and my H always wants it. Its a source of tension between us not unlike many couples I am sure. We have been married 19 years I love him but honestly I just don't have much of a sexual appetite. She suggested a few things and that was that. She always struck me as someone who enjoys sex much more than myself and as someone who most men would consider to "be good in bed" (if they were speculating).

So we were all out to dinner last night and we were discussing another couple we know who just split up. The rumor is that the wife would not have sex with her H and hes finally leaving. So my "friend" says I (meaning her) would be his dream wife, I can do it morning noon and night and never get tired. She winks at my H, throws her head back with a roaring laugh and takes a swig of her wine. I was really upset, I thought it was inappropriate on many levels and the fact that she knows this is an issue that she said that, it was obviously more important for her to put herself on a pedestal even at the sake of compromising hurt feelings on  my end.

So we got in a fight on the way home and my H said I need to take lessons from her, etc....obviously this is a smidgeon of our life and I do love my H, he is a very very good looking man and is in great shape and definitely considered to be "eye candy" for women around here, even my babysitter said a lot of the women swoon over him, but I am just not someone ever who would want this every day. Yet, now I feel strangely vulnerable and even a little guilty like I am not giving him what he should have. I really haven't spoken two words to him today and am leaving shortly for my book club and made dinner plans with a friend afterwards purposely.  Would love your honest take on this. Thank you![/quote]
