You are correct that I "will only have sex if she approaches you in exactly the right way" where the right way includes any kind of overt physical touch at all.

I'm with the previous posters who've said that this is something we both have to want enough to talk about.

So what happens, she gives you a card and then you "calmly and compassionately" scold her for not also touching you? Try some positive reinforcement instead.

How do you know that she wants you to desire her even though she is obviously pained when you give her attention? Maybe you are misdiagnosing the problem? Maybe she is doesn't care that you don't desire her, but is mad at you for other reasons?

Ok, fair enough. I understand that.

So, answer me this: If it's painful, and she doesn't enjoy it, why is she upset that I'm not asking for PIV (or any sex)?

It does sound like she is very self conscious about her body after having kids. Was she as self conscious about it before giving birth? If she let you go down on her regularly before kids, and she doesn't now, then it's possible that she feels self conscious about that area.

I enjoy giving oral...she is too self-conscious to let me to this. I enjoy it enough that it helps me get aroused/cranked up, so I wish I could do this first. We do have bullets and other things. The problem is that my attempts at foreplay, etc, have been rejected, and I'm basically not getting aroused either. It's like having ED. I do not have ED - I have incredible morning wood - the equipment itself is in top working order.

More like too many unattractive, bad habits to want to have sex w/you.

The audacity of someone who can have someone else push THEIR baby out of their privates- and then be angry when said person does not snap back to the pre-another-human-living-inside-them-size...

If you could bottle that level of clueless self absorption, you could make a killing. Women should buy it, so they will learn to dump these kinds of losers and think of THEMSELVES, which would mean not putting up with this misogynistic bullshit.

Having a baby doesn't excuse anyone for gaining 50 pounds and not making an effort for physical intimacy with your spouse.
