Feeling stuck in my marriage
Relationship Stress / by MNorman4

...See more Hi, I'm 25(M) and fixing to be 26 in May soon. I've been married to my wife, 27(F), for a year now, but we've been together for 4-5 years in total. When we first started dating, we're both never had sex before and that's okay so we didn't rush it. After 4 years of dating, we officially got married and moved in together. A year later and I feel like I'm stuck in a endless loop within my own head of doubt and guilt. Having sex isn't a big deal and I get that, but I want to be even more closer with my wife but it feels like a one way street. We discussed about us being in a sexless marriage back in February, the week of Valentine's Day and her response left me puzzled. Some context about me, I love chubby/ plus size women. I made no secret about it amongst my group of friends and family. She knows this too when we first met. So, with that out the way, here's how our discussion went. When I asked her about us having sex, she responds that she's still self conscious about her body and that she's afraid I'll look at her differently. Which puzzled me because we've been together for years now and why all of the sudden you're afraid of my feelings towards you? So, two months go by and now I'm back to my old bad habits of explicit content online consumption daily, feeling burned out at work and more stress than usual, and feeling more guilt or frustrated at myself that I'm not doing enough. I don't know what to do and I feel stuck.
