Instant turn off."
Not all opinions below reflect a broad view of sex.
Its so damn unsexy, and makes me feel like an appliance and not a person.

Until then, Im just not really going to give in.
Lack of foreplay means it hurts Im not doing that."

“The kids part is so real it’s stressful.

Talk to him outside of sex the foreplay is just as important as the other stuff.
It’s all the main event.”

It made me so self-conscious about being naked around him that I couldnt orgasm.

“He constantly eye-fucks other women when we are in public.

This makes me feel inadequate, disrespected, and quite frankly, creeped out.
Also, all of a sudden his political views on abortion changed.
Im pro-choice, and he knows this.

He was too until…he wasnt?
This made me feel gross.”
I just moved out :)."

“Congrats :).”

“Feeling like there’s intention behind every touch/cuddle.

I can never tell when its just cuddling or if its a move towards sex.”

“This is the one that absolutely killed it with my ex it started that way.
I felt like he would only touch me if it meant he was gonna have sex.

Then it was no cuddles, no kissing, no touching nothing.
It was only ever when he wanted more.
Makes you feel like an object.”

When Im home and my husband is at work, I do chores without even thinking about it.
Its automatic so I expect the same."

Or groping at my pubic area that doesn’t actually really turn me on.
The touching throughout the day and build-up from intimate non-sexual touch is so important.
Also, actually expressing affectionate and loving words.”

Apparently it was supposed to be a compliment.”

“My ex-partner made me feel like I was his mom instead of his girlfriend.
He was super surprised when I left and threw a ‘big tantrum.'”

For some reason he gets bad breath randomly and as soon as he breathes near my nose its ugh.
If Im really in the mood I can ignore it.

It’s constantly a mess because he abandons the current project for months for hunting season.

“It just feels like another chore.
He pouts if it’s been a day or two, and heaven forbid I get sick.
He seriously believes I get sick on purpose to ‘spite him.’
I’m not enthusiastic at all, so he knows it’s just to shut him up.

“He would scream at video games like a child.
He would call people slurs and cuss at them over small things in the game.
He would just get up and leave the room (one time yelling at me).
So, I’d just take care of him.
The possibility of a bruised ego or him rejecting me yet again wasn’t worth it.”
