Frustrated

My husband does not let me initiate sex. I have tried everything even his own advice but always get excuses sometimes not even true. It is humiliating. I went 6 months without trying, just doing it when he wants. When I finally tried again he said no again. It really hurts and I told him that. Nothing works.

It sounds to me as if you have bigger issues going on in your marraige than sex.  He is controlling you ~ controlling your emotions.  He makes you feel bad about yourself.  If he respected you, when you told him how his behavior upsets you, he would change it.  Do you think he might have a medical condition that is preventing him from having sex with you?  Is his job very stressful?  It may be that he can only perform rarely, and initiates it when he is able.  You haven't stated how old you are or how long you have been married, but he needs to understand that this is a really serious thing.  I would suggest you get some counseling if you can and ask him to join you.  If he says no, you have only 2 choices.  Live with things the way they are, or leave.  Either way, if leaving has entered your mind already, you need to tell him that ~ that you are thinking of leaving the marraige because of his lack of consideration of your feelings and needs.  I hope he listens and takes things more seriously.  You deserve a man that will want you to be happy and want you to feel good about yourself.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

I think you mean he doesn't respond to your attempts. He doesn't actually prevent you from trying, does he?

I gather this is a change in his behavior, is that right? The first thing I suggest you do is get him in for a physical with his doctor. It is possible that there is some underlying medical cause for his behavior. If so, then proper treatment should certainly help.

If there is no medical cause, then it is either emotional (requiring counseling) or he is seeing someone else. Only you can determine which of those it might be.

If you suspect the former, then I think you should do your best to encourage him to see a counselor. If he won't do it, perhaps you should go; your marriage cannot last like this and you might need an impartial third party to help you deal with the fallout.

If you suspect the latter, please hire a good attorney so you can get that to which you are entitled.

Good luck!

My advice to you would be to sacrifice your own sex life and say no to his attempts. Tell him that once he is fair in the bedroom you will have sex with him again. He needs to learn that you are not there for him to play with only when he wants to. You are a couple and that means that you do things together and fairly.
