High sex drive is affecting my marriage
Addiction Support / by raspberryKitten2391

...See more Iv been sober for 2 years now and iv been having anxiety over my wife and her loyalties to me and I’m finding I’m using sex as an escape to reassure me that we’re ok still after all the years together. I have a high sex drive and feel I get really upset when her desire for sex doesn’t match mine I feel hurt by her unwillingness as iv changed so much to satisfy her needs over the last 3 years. could anyone help as I don’t want to feel so hurt as I know it’s not my wife’s fault we all have different sex drives and they don’t alway Aline and I tend to push her away when what I really want is to be close so having the opposite affect by my own doing. iv always had drink as a blanket for my feelings and don’t know how to show my wife I’m hurt and feel unable to talk to her of the fear of being rejected. im also trying to work thorough my anxiety at the same time and all seems to be overwhelming as I can’t talk to my wife about it as she’s the one that’s hurting my feelings, I gave up porn and masterbating about 4 month ago as I learned she also had anxiety over this and I wanted to ease her suffering but has just seemed to make my worse any help would be great full

...See more im a recovering alcoholic and iv been sober for 2 years now but I’m struggling with the past and my partner, we’ve been together for almost 20 years but I struggle with the male friends she has at work and how I’m not enough for her, it’s not even about sex but the emotional connection she has with other men. iv never had to really deal with my emotions before as iv had drink as a blanket to cover up if I was hurt and I’m finding it hard to open up to my wife as it seems needy and jealous over things that shouldn’t matter.
