[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so triggered by these threads because my husband is the one who has withheld sex at various times in the marriage and I genuinely felt at times that he was using it as a bargaining chip.  Where are all these husbands who want sex all the time and how did I end up with this rare bird who doesn’t??!? It’s really not ok to withhold and I feel bad for any man who goes through that.  Even if you are not at your happiest, once you start you can get in the mood.[/quote]

You are not alone in this experience. My ex husband would withhold sex. It was absolute torture that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and began an affair with a coworker. My only regret is that I didn’t divorce him immediately when this started instead of suffering for several years (and in my sexual prime). I am certain he did it for control and to abuse me. I sympathize wholeheartedly with men who complain about their wives withholding sex. It is highly manipulative and abusive.[/quote]

I’m really sorry you went through that, pp.  I am an attractive woman and it was pretty tortuous getting so much positive attention from men just out in the world and facing constant rejection from my own husband.  It makes you crazy and desperate for attention and validation.  I came very close to practically throwing myself at a very appealing individual who would have been delighted to have me, and I don’t judge any woman who goes through with it.  [/quote]
