A woman has been left heartbroken after her husband said he wasn’t interested in having sex with her anymore, and gave her a five-word excuse that shattered their relationship
Balancing a healthy sex life when you’re married with kids isn’t always an easy task.
We all know for many couples, bedroom antics take a nosedive once other parts of your life get in the way. Keeping up a healthy relationship with your partner is important but it’s not always easy, and it’s normal for things to slow down as you get more settled in your life.
But one woman said her sex life with her husband has completely dried up – and he’s refused to sleep with her in over two years. What’s more, he’s got a soul-crushing reason for why he isn’t interested.
In a post on NetMums, the woman said when asked why they don’t have sex anymore, her husband gave her a simple five-word answer which left her “broken”. He said: “I don’t find you attractive.”
She wrote: “I found out at the weekend that my husband hasn’t found me as attractive for over two years. He said [it was] due to me putting weight on, my mental health and more recently my physical health problems. Apart from once, we haven’t had sex in over two years.
“He always said that it was him that just didn’t want sex, that he found me attractive and I wasn’t the problem. We stopped cuddling in bed and on the sofa. Also, I don’t feel he was as there emotionally for me. I feel broken and like he has lied to me.”
Commenters on the post were quick to offer their sympathies to the mum. Many encouraged her to think about whether she wants to try and salvage her relationship and told her to surround herself with family and friends who can support her no matter what she decides to do.
One person said: “You’re beautiful regardless, it’s sad he feels this way [and] you deserve better. We all lose ourselves sometimes and find ourselves again but the fact he pushed you away isn’t nice. I’d probably end things, as [there’s] no point [and] he will soon regret it. Take care of yourself [and] do things you love with people that love you.”
Another added: “Work on how sexy you feel! If you feel sexy you ooze it and he will pick up on this. If he chooses not to respond then it might be time to look at other options.”
