Laura1318 agony auntYou may have to communicate to him your problems and let him know how you feel. Talk to him frankly and see what is his problems , ED, stress, fear or whatever that caused him to lose his libido.

The problem seems to lie on his side.

I suppose this could be something to do with the miscarriages - he'll have been upset too, whether he actually wanted kids or not. Have you talked about it? It'll be hard, but once you're in the conversation then things could lighten up. Also, he could just be feeling stressed at the moment, maybe with work or studies, so he could be tired or just not in the mood. Again, good luck :]

thank you all for the advice!!! its not the fact that he looks at the porn, i dont have a problem with it, i just dont understand why he cant look at it with me, instead of being secretive about it. when i try to get involved with him he shuts me down some how or another("I'm tired") just tonight i went to bed wearing sexy stuff and started to get him going and he would rather go to sleep than have sex with me. it could have something to do with the fact that i am ready to have kids. now, he says that he is to but i dont think that he wants them right now. maybe that is why he is avoiding having sex with me. we had a misscarriage about a year and a half ago, do you think he is scared to get me pregnant for fear that it might happen again? I am so worried that i am not satisfing my man.

Laura1318 agony auntMany women cannot understand why men want to watch porn. It cannot be explained by women's logic. It has something to do with his testosterone and maleness.

You are a normal woman and you have the right to feel that way.

You have three options

1. you convince your husband to quit.

2. you tolerate him as he is.

3. you leave him.

There is nothing wrong with you, but there could be something very serious happening to your husband...porn addiction. His actions and behavior sound very familiar. Go to npsupport.net for support from the ladies there and read the recovering addicts section to see if this sounds like your husband. If this is what's going on, you will have to stop it a.s.a.p. it will not get better on it's own. Good luck to you.

I think you are answering your own questions: You both have obviously let things slide into a state of boredom in the bedroom dept. & he needs sexual relief in some way. Obviously, he is not getting it from you. I imagine, from what you say, that your sexual needs aren't as strong as his. So, a slight mismatch here which can easily be sorted by you being a little more adventurous. Be subtle and understand what things might turn him on. Try taking a leading role in bed, be a slightly dominant force, just test the water here. Pay attention to your appearance and personal hygiene (no offence intended)but be assured, from a male point of view, sexiness is far more attractive than looks! Good luck!

Yes honey, you're right to be thinking these things! From what you've described, he's really not being very kind to your feelings and emmotions. It makes me wonder if he even considers your feelings when he watches porn..

You know, when people write on here about how they don't mind porn and stuff, I don't understand it.. I don't want to go off on a one and start bringing my view into it, but I just hate the thought of my partner watching porn.. I just think its disrespectful.

And I mean, this isn't fair on you. You're young, you'll be in good shape, it's hard to believe that you could 'bore' him in a sense. But why don't you entice him back to the bedroom, with maybe some sexy lingerie or a new sex toy? It all might sound a bit daunting at first (I know how it feels) but it'll be easier once you've stepped into that sexy shop, either on your own or with him (he could come along and help pick what might turn him on) and then you'll soon be full of confidence, really honey. I know that it's easy to say, and difficult for you to actually do, but I really believe you should talk to him. Just casually though. Just say to him, ''you're really making me feel unwanted these days in the bedroom, is everything alright?'' or just generally tell him your feelings in a subtle way. He probably just thinks he's being Mr Clever and that you haven't noticed anything has changed. So make sure you let him know your feelings :] he is your husband after all. And when he said those words to you on your wedding day, he meant them, and he shouldn't be letting you down now.

Really good luck with everything :]
