[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a medical condition that makes sex painful (like, in pain for days" painful). I try to show my DH I love him in other ways, but I hate seeing these threads. They always make me feel like DH would be justified in getting fucked elsewhere.

I didn't ask to get sick. [/quote]

This is my situation.  Years of cancer treatment and various hormonal drugs have left me physically unable to have sex (unless I want to have excruciating pain), and I also have neuropathy.  Luckily my DH is in his fifties now, and after 30+ years his sex drive has lessened, but I still feel awful.  :([/quote]

My heart goes out to the two of you.

As a DH who has struggled with bridging the libido gap with my lower drive DW, let me assure you there is a difference between how a husband feels when his wife can't have sex vs. she won't have sex.  If my wife is sick, or we have family visiting, or any other number of obstacles, I miss the sex but I don't feel rejected.  Not the same way as when she chooses to bury herself in facebook or any number of other activities that send a message that our sex life comes last on the list.

My 2 cents - there are other ways to express intimacy, sure oral is one of them.  I think just maintaining the message that you find your husband desirable and want intimacy with him but for the illness.

Good luck.[/quote]
