Really struggling today ladies.
My stupid brain has decided to start torturing me with flashbacks..
Images of my partner staring off into the distance whenever I performed oral - I now know why. I now understand the why it was the only thing I could offer him and why he used to ALWAYS request it. Because sex is always ONLY about his pleasure.... Which is also why he only reciprocated once and even then he made it clear it was a chore. I feel completely humiliated but I can't tell him that can I because somehow it would get turned around to being my fault.
Getting ready to go to bed together and him climbing into bed after a few drinks aroused and asking me "what am I going to do with this?" And me stupidly thinking it was because he was wanting to be with me when in reality he'd been "getting himself ready for me" (no joke that's exactly what he tried to get me to believe) and was just going to try finishing off with me to keep the peace. He takes no pleasure in my body or even just the fact he is with me.
I can't stop crying and I don't know if I can do this.... I can't tell where the lies end and I can't even tell if he really cares.
It's right what the other women have written on here - he is wired not to consider me needs or feelings and its extended far beyond the bedroom. The psychopathic traits comparison is true!
I know if he is serious and we get through this he will have to come to terms with not only what he was doing but also the effect on his personality and behaviour..... Yet if I'm not worth his attention how am I supposed to believe he thinks I'm worth going through that for.
I know this isn't going away and there's no easy fix. I know there's going to be waves of what I'm feeling now crashing over me out of nowhere for who knows how long..... I also need to know I'm not fighting for our relationship on my own.
Seriously considering asking him to go to his friends for the weekend just sonic can have some space.... And more importantly a couple of days relief from being unloved... Because that's how I feel when he's laying there thinking that putting a pacifying arm around me is enough to make all this go away.
What a sad feeling it is to have that arm around you and know that it is there to keep you at arms length and not bring you closer.
