So lost.
Relationship Stress / by Lilwal

...See more Been married 17 years, together an additional 2-3 years. Have three kids 16 14 12. I am nearly 40 and wife has turned 40. Never had any major fights in our entire marriage, then 3 months ago my wife just turned off sex. It is her right her body etc, but I am someone who needs affection, and this was really the only affection I received. She has never been a cuddles person, so my only intimate physical touch was sex. I am having allot of trouble with this and if I start to talk about it it turns to a fight, which we both hate. Every night the rejection s kick in even with out me asking, she will randomly turns to cat, kids whatever is around and repeated make sure I know she is tired, or shattered, or sick every night. Them on the night when there is no pre excuse, I try in bed and still get told no, but never a reassuring no, just a go away. I have bent over backwards for my wife, flowers gifts, massages, cooking, dishes etc, and she is stay at home mum and I am the one out all day yet still doing more around house. The nicer I treat her the worse it feels. I use to get angry, but now at the stage I thin I am past angry and just given up. I sleep on the couch now just to avoid the hurt, but then every morning, everything seems.ok again, she kisses me goodbye, kisses me when I get home, have a good chat. I am really just lost, lonely, and I think a bit depressed. I really think I needed to rant so thanyou for listening It may not all make senses as my mind is running so fast ATM.
