I'm gonna stick my neck out a little here and look at the other side of the coin. Although I don't totally disagree with that wise old owl benzy77 I do beleive he was a little harsh. For instance,if everyone who has experienced sexual frustation were to seek out professional help the counselors offices would be jammed packed.I also do not beleive it to be abnormal period. Also your marriage sounds more like a business contract than a vow to love, honor and cherish in richer or poorer in sickness and in health. Maybe a job is the best thing for you i agree on that, but your husbands sexual punitive reaction makes me wonder about his sincerity and/or his definition of love and marriage. Just my thoughts. However I wish you the best. from an just an old owl. Grog
