dealing with PTSD or any traumatic event in life just like in the beginning of Genesis God separated the light from the darkness he separated the waters from above in the waters from below we also have to learn how to separate things in our lives and in our memories so we can file them away and know how to deal with certain situations specially traumatic events

God seen that it is not good for man to be alone so he created Eve Adam man’s rib flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone is what scripture says that is codependency at its nature from the beginning
The Israelites were codependent on slavery they got a custom to a certain type of lifestyle of bondage they walked the desert for 40 years to break tradition to break the codependency of the need of being enslaved and entrap it wasn’t the parents but it was the next generation that broke free
It is not necessarily a craving but he desire of the way chemically imbalanced it makes you feel up whatever addictive drug or addictiveness or addiction can be from drugs to last it is a euphoria in a state of being in the moment
SEX STARVED ……THAT HAPPENS FROM MANY REASONS …..FIRST IS BECAUSE MEN NEED TO UNDERSTAND ONCE MARRIED THEY CAN NEVER LUST FOR SOMEONE ELSE ……EVER …..OTHERWISE THE WIFE WILL REFUSE SEXUAL ACTIVITY …..MONOGAMY …..MONOGAMY ……
He he, first I didn't push, but now after 15 yrs of rejection, I have started confronting. Anger is her answer. But the sex stops Then the intermacy stops Then any touching at all intiated by the sex dodging partner starts. Then prayng together and communicating stops.
Problem is when I bring, or try to bring the subject up, my wife gets angry " you got sex on the brain, we are to old for that" But zero times in 15 yrs????????
When I try to “listen and find out more” I find that people get very defensive and I can’t get to the bottom of the issue. It makes communication impossible.
This just sounds like another woman who wants to manipulate men. This is why men are pulling away. We are tired of the manipulation. We’re also realizing that women are not made of sugar and spice.
I quit initiating entirely several years ago. There's only so much rejection a person can take before they shut down. I no longer view my wife as a sexual person anymore. She is a non-gendered being that lives in the house with me.
Addiction is a secular term for bondage what the Bible cause bondage to sin. This is from someone who has had drug and alcohol addiction. Something that is being completely overlooked is the spiritual, demonic element also.
I do all the little things, putting my wife first. Come home from 24 hour shifts as a firefighter and get my daughter up for school so she can sleep in. I take over evenings of dinners and do bedtime with my daughter so my wife can watch tv and relax. It’s endless. Getaways for herself as Mother’s Day gifts, airbnb trips as a family as surprises and constant words of affirmation and acts of service and trying my best at emotional connection. If it wasn’t for me coming in for hugs and kisses even I wouldn’t get Jack shit. I work 60+ hours/2 jobs so she can be the stay at home mom she wanted to be. I leave notes, give back rubs foot rubs, the list goes on. I take care of my health and fitness and image, and living depressed and get belittled for wanting more and wanting my wife and our romance and spark back. At the end of my ropes, not looking good.
Sounds like you treat your wife like a queen. Marriage is not about one person getting everything they want at the expense of destroying the other. Sometimes we have to face the fact that a person has issues that we can’t fix no matter how much we do for them. Something is broken ( not saying that is the case in your situation) At the end of the day we should not have to beg for love and affection and intimacy in our marriage. It shone a given. So sad for you. You sound like a wonderful and caring husband. All the best to you.
I too tried counselling for me She only heard my side She didn't give me choice of staying together only said he can't change you won't be happy that negative talk made me think ill prove you wrong last week husband wanted to split up after 22 years I was shocked he's now seen my vulnerable side and I am now being kind and working on myself and respect to him I regret how I treated him This book is amazing and I can relate completely
You can't just do it - when "we will never have sex ever again." is followed by "I don't see that it's that big of a deal." That is no starter. Perimenopause and completely intimacy withdrawal is impossible to consider. Will not discuss it - states she is happy to never have sex again.
Thanks to shiela I haven’t had sex in 6 months. My wife wants 100% perfection first. I paid her $106,000 student loan, she hasn’t had to work, visits friends and family whenever she wants. I took her mother in with Alzheimer’s when all her siblings refused and she died in my den which I set up as bedroom in her last 3 months of life. I am a doctor and she has full control of our finances, so she is not refused clothes, food, decorations, whatever… She is a control ing person. All I have ever wanted was her to stop criticizing me for things which is constant. I am very physically fit and quiet and listen. We talk 1-3 hours per day. Another 6 months and I am leaving.
Is this, word for for word, the same speech Bettina Arndt always gives??? Its even the same examples given! Are they twins, or the same person, in disguise?
Men, watch and listen to Bettina Arndt a psychologist on RU-vid, she has a 20and 30-minut videos of women’s changing attitudes all too soon after marriage. They lose interest in sex leaving men wondering what did they do wrong. Women’s chemistry changes after marriage and the husband is out in the cold wondering what is going on because she is just not interested anymore. I did not know about Bettina Arndt until the age of 76. I am writing so men will know what to expect when they get married or live with someone.
This is something I am working on in my marriage. The big issue, is my partner is not willing to communicate on the issue. It is frustrating. When there was some discussion, it felt like a power game shift. I felt in some ways it would degrade respect me. I ended up pulling away, sleeping in another room. Drinking, reading, karaoke in the living room by myself, studying. Then any attempt by my partner to build bridges, it was civil sometimes warm, sometimes cold, and keep enough space. After several weeks, it starts to create tension. The loss of cuddling and other things also affects your partner. They will want to be cuddled as well. Now is a good time to discuss each other's emotional needs. Why those needs are important. This does open the doors a bit. Communication is very important. Sex that doesn't provide the emotional bond the marriage is over. It is just like having casual sex, it isn't something special for you to share together.
