When your spouse doesn’t want to have sex, you likely feel alone and lost. When you’re the one who is uninterested in sex, you may not even understand why. However, in a healthy marriage where addiction and betrayal aren’t present, sex is a beautiful gift. This episode with Heather Kolb gets into the challenging questions about how, when, and why people may be living in a sexless marriage and what they can do about it.
The question that I have is: my husband (struggling spouse) is having difficulties with engaging in sex with me because of his fear of not being able to perform without using mental images that he has relied on for so long from his addiction. We have been in recovery for 2 years, but he is still hesitant. I am wanting to establish intimacy with my husband, but I do not want him to be uncomfortable, but I am feeling rejected and not desirable. How does we overcome this?
Hi Shelly, I can recommend a few books and maybe another organization that might be able to help in this area. You can email me at [email protected]. I’d love to get more insight before making a recommendation. Thanks for listening and reaching out with your question.
