Your body your rules, if your husband can’t respect that then he needs to take a serious look in the mirror. It can be frustrating I understand but another option can be sitting down together and figuring out other ways to “fill in the void” so to speak during your times of the month. Everyone has different feelings about sex toys or self pleasure items but if your comfortable with something like that then a trip to the adult fun store together could be something to look into. Again may not be for everyone but it’s worked for my partner and I ????

You don’t have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable in doing with your husband. If you are feeling pressured it might be good to talk with 1800RESPECT

Not at all! Your body is still in hormone surge when when your period ends. It’s normal to feel that way.
My poor hubby gets it maybe a couple of times a month. I’m tired, I’m tapped out, and just want to relax and sleep. That’s okay too!

I thoroughly enjoy doing it, every time my partner is in the mood I am too.
But I will not do it during my period or until a few days after my period finishes, as I have a fear of there being blood.(Trauma from past relationship). So I don’t blame you for not wanting to do it then. But, I think sex in a relationship is really important and it’s not fair to deny it constantly.

I fully agree! For years I just went along with it (mostly) but I’m sick of it now. It’s like it’s the only thing he’s concerned about, I hate it and I’ve just stopped it. He’s not thrilled, things might change, but he’ll need to change first I think

I encourage you to talk to your partner. I am very open and honest in regards to this topic with my partner and am very lucky that they understand

Hopefully you can be open and honest with him and that he is understanding of how you feel. I don’t think you’re in the wrong, i totally get where you’re coming from. I hope you can get it sorted.

My suggestion is to talk things through with your husband so that he knows how you feel. He may have no idea that he is coming on too strong and making you uncomfortable.

It’s your body – not his. If you don’t feel like it then say no and stick to your answer

As Dr Phil says when making an important decision, it takes 2 Yeses or 1 No.

Enthusiastic consent is what’s being taught in schools now! We have to stop breeding these self entitled, disrespectful men and empower women to respect themselves, know their worth and be confident in enforcing boundaries. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, it’s not okay.

Nope. You have to feel like it too.

Not wrong at all, stand up for yourself.

You are definitely not on the wrong.

We are all different and its lovely that your husband wants you in that way but if its making you feel negative things then you need to discuss this with him.
Some couples dont worry if the woman is bleeding and still get intimate.
The best thing for me was not having to worry about periods after having a hysterectomy.
