You are fortunate, indeed, for having such a caring and supportive man in your life.
yes my husband is aware but he understands it's not him it's me with the problem,he knows all about the abuse not in full detail but i think that's why he has supported me all these years.He also knows about the promiscuity, it was when I met him he showed me you don't have to have sex to love someone.I was willing on the 2nd date but he refused until we got to know each other better.I was 16 then and he's the only man I've been with since.
Thank you for your reply, Denise
Intensive therapy for the abuse that you were subjected to along with couple's counseling for yourself and your husband would be the way to go.
How successful it would be would depend on both of you.
By the way, is your husband aware that you don't enjoy sex with him?
And, have you discussed the childhood sexual abuse with your husband?
Thank you for your reply,my husband would be very commited,I suppose that's why we've been married for 29 yrs and he's managed to keep loving me even though I find it hard to be loving.

I think the therapy can help especially if your husband is involved and you can be open about your concerns, fears and desires. If he is committed to helping you through this he could be very instrumental.
