Feeling lost
For context, I met my husband through a matrimony app and we have been married for 3 years now and have a 5 month old. I was really happy to start my new life with him. However, things started to go downhill immediately after our marriage.
- He used to make fun of me in front of his family.
It has reduced now. - He used to CONSTANTLY criticise me. This pushed me to depression and I had to start medication for it.
- He was never interested in foreplay. He wanted to just climax but I used to be dry because of which it used to hurt. He used to get frustrated. Eventually, a few months into our marriage, he stopped initiating it completely. In the first year of our marriage, we did not have proper sex and at a point, went without it for 6 months straight.
- Luckily, I got pregnant in a once in blue moon attempt. He was happy at first (or so he seemed) but never went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable.
- I had some complications in my pregnancy and my Doctor wanted me to choose between normal delivery or C sec. I was really scared and confused at the time and instead of being gentle with me, he gave me a lecture.
- Even now, knowing I’m craving for his love and affection, he withholds himself from displaying it completely. No hugs, no kisses, no touches.
I literally have to beg him for affection. - He snaps out of nowhere at me.
The list goes on..
I am lost and not sure how to navigate this. We had sex after our child the first time after which I thought sex would get better but he withheld his intimacy from me knowing I was craving for me for days.
I feel so lost and not sure how to navigate this isolation.
