In my defense..he cant ever just give a loving kiss..he wants a full out make out session, and he cant just hug me without his hands going to EVERY spot I DONT want them in..every single time.

I think my past SA trauma also affects the way I feel being touched.. I literally ask what’s wrong with me? I definitely gaslight myself.

I get no kind of attention/affection until he wants sex. makes me feel like a piece of meat. and god forbid he needs to put in some consistent work to be able to get my body back into that loving mode. 🙄

I think we just wish sometimes we can just touch kiss and spend time together. We get annoyed when the every time he touches or kisses it turns into that. We aren’t objects.

right, but he only wants to touch me like that WHEN he wants sex, he can never just rub my back or rub my feet, we can never just cuddle, it's never innocent, that's WHY I feel like that, because I know..

This developes from only being touched when sex is being initiated. When there are no hugs, kisses or soft touches throughout the day, or on nights when you don't feel good or have been stressed out. Touch is only when they want sex. Thats why we begin to resent the touch. because what do you mean you've watched me struggle to survive all day and now you think you can touch me and get sex.

sometimes when I know I'm expected to have it later that day or night it gives me anxiety and dread

It because every time my husband even sits on the couch next to me, or tries to hug me, he wants sex.

user7881116022285 :
Not anticipating what MIGHT come next. What ALWAYS comes next! Why can't men just be sweet & affectionate without it leading to sex? They can't just enjoy closeness without getting worked up & making a move that then feels like one more thing we have to do before we can relax. It's a bummer 😕

But also, he usually does want more. So it’s also pattern recognition.

It’s always an expectation. Then I’m made to feel like a horrible person and I’m accused of not loving him or I am disgusted by him. And if I don’t respond to him physically that just “confirms” it for him. So I am doubly pressured. It’s called menopause. If he knew me 30+ years ago the roles would be reversed.

Because he is not affectionate outside of the bedroom. He only touches me when we are in the bedroom and he wants sex. So now I dread it. Like you said, an expectation.

Men feel the same way whenever their wife wants to talk. They tense up and want to avoid her, bc they are ready to be criticized or given a honey do list.
