Athena1,
Thanks again for your feedback and understanding. I did and have spoken up, however, he gets so bent out of joint. He backed off about the threesome issue claiming it's not a requirement (big of him, huh?), though he's constantly suggesting it either as a joke or seriously. What he doesn't seem to get is how much it hurts me to think of the man I love making love to another woman in front of me, especially since he almost NEVER touches me! Everytime I try to discuss how I feel, he throws it back onto me..."he can't trust me...I'm not ready to really be in a relationship....I haven't achieved real connection with him...I've gained weight".....it's always MY fault.
I'm beginning to think the real issue is that he just is not interested in achieving real intimacy with me, or with anyone. Both of us come from a lifetime of mistrust and dysfunction. And both of us are working very hard to leave those unhealthy behaviors behind. Apparently we're not doing so at the same rate...at least not when it comes to sexual issues.
I'm very confused. He says he loves me, and shows me in every other way...just not in this way. In most ways he's the best man I've ever known. He encourages me to fulfill my dreams. This is why it hurts so much. Thanks for listening.
