[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Hopefully DHs now chronic stomach pain issues can be treated after his endoscopy in a few weeks. It’s not so much waiting for sex, it’s how he reacts when I express sadness that I miss intimacy. When I say that, he yells and tries to shut me down as I’m crazy for even thinking of it. If he said, “ I’m sorry baby, I miss it too.” I’d just hug him and move on.

I feel like he throws temper tantrums and emotionally abuses me and takes his frustrations out on me. [/quote]

MH has a chronic, incurable illness and I understand where you’re coming from. Have either of you had therapy? Your H’s response sounds a lot my MH’s. We started individual and marriage counseling and it has helped immensely. I understand you missing the intimacy and I understand not being able to have a complete conversation about it. It’s a very hard situation that people just don’t understand unless they’ve been there too. If he’s unable or unwilling to start therapy right now, it would still be very beneficial to start your own in my opinion. Good luck. [/quote]
