First of all I apologies for this being my first post but in my situation I cannot find help. I live in a small rugged town and the therapists have looked at me like I was an alien. Nothing mainstream will help. I have tried googling things.

Anyway I am a cisgen female (that loves male female and every spirit inbetween) who 9 years ago fell in love with a male to female. I was 18 she was 47. Fast forward to today 9 years later with two kids. Wait, just a second,  back up two years to our 7th year together I was 25 and my sex drive was rocketing. Hers was  just the opposite, and it was causing a gulf. So, I asked if I could see a guy friend once a week. She said it was okay, and with a few bumps it was okay for two years. This guy has had major depression bouts and we were having some troubles so we decided to cut it for now. 

The issue that is bothering me most is this. I have been put down for my sex drive by my wife repeatedly. She says things to me like: Its unspiritual. I have two kids I need to cut it. I have childhood issues, which I do, but does it need to get thrown up in my face. Anytime a fight has come up she throws the boyfriend in my face. It is letting me eat cake and then calling me fat.  I still see that she is satisfied with what makes her happy 3 min twice a month if I am lucky. Does she want to do awesome lesbian stuff or anything else to make up for it, no. I would be fine without penetration but there is no touching at all.  I am to the point of feeling ashamed, crying a lot, and wanting to find something that will kill my libido. I don't want to destroy my marriage over this.

Good morning chicky,

First of all there is nothing wrong with what you are feeling and I could make observations about age difference and libido changes at different ages or I could mention that jealousy could be playing a part in having an additional person in the relationship. But you would know more about whether these things are an issue or not.

The only advice I can give you is communicate to your partner about how you are feeling and also whether she has any problems with the current relationship. Don't shy away from a heart to heart it's always hard but always so much more rewarding ya know.

Next your libido is not something to be ashamed of and it's not fair to be persecuted because you want a bit of something something from time to time so be happy with yourself first, communicate and do what's right for you first and foremost else your unhappiness will be detected by your children and that would just be sucky.

Thank you very much Button. I want to make something clear. I do not mind breaking up with this guy (boy toy) and he doesn't mind either. We both have a clear understanding of where we stand. So, this is one thing I fear, that Jewell, my wife, thinks I am just trying to get back with him. That is not the case. I just want my needs at least recognized without being downright torn apart. Last night all I got was a lecture on how emotionally damaged I am, again. I don't know how to approach it. I do not want to go through the rest of my life miserable, and I don't want to be told again how unspiritual/wrong/lusty my needs are.

I'm sorry chicky but did you marry a parent because that sounds to me like the kind of crap your getting.

It's one thing to be jealous in a relationship but its another to be verbally abusive and its not right to project your insecurities onto another person. It is draining both emotionally and physically and to me one of the worst forms of abuse.

It's not fair when we open up and someone we loves decides
to use that information to control us and in turn hurt us.

It sounds to me like your partner is insecure and has this hollier than thou attitude that you shouldn't have to deal with. It's not mature to play these games with someone who desperately is just seeking a basic need, a human need to be fulfilled. Are you guys just friends because without some sort of intimacy that's basically in my view what it comes down to.

I hope you can actually talk to your partner and even things up here as I don't think that you are being treated fairly and in time it could cause resentment on your relationship and its not fair.

Good luck chicky

Thinking back on our relationship I think I was always needing of more touching. I feel like the last few years have just really intensified. It could be age, and it could just be the fact that I just don't want to go without anymore. J has called me her sister on more than one occasion which is okay. I cried the first time she called me that. I felt torn. For one I felt great to have a sister. On the other hand I felt like someone had slit the throat of our marriage. I have had more than one person say that we are more roommates (farmmates, who love to spoon, for our situation) than anything. I know I need to talk but I am so tongue tied. I don't want to hurt my love, yet I don't want to continue to hurt myself.

I am planning on saying something like along the lines of this:
   I don't want to destroy the marriage and I really love you. Two years ago I should have addressed this but instead I hid behind Boy Toy. Now that Boy Toy is no longer in the picture we need to address what is bothering me so much.  I am not bordering 60 with thirty years of hormones. I am 28 years old. I feel I have sacrificed so much to be with you. I was with Boy Toy to deal with my sexdrive not hurt you. Now you have threatened even  to go off with someone else, without remembering why I did it in the first place. I never pressured you, I always gave you what you needed and wanted. Now you are constantly attacking me for my childhood which may have some relevance but it's not want I want in my face right now. I have never judged or threw your female hormone trip in your face. What if when we got into a fight I started in on that. How long would you last if I called you hurtful names, and began picking apart your childhood and why you are the way you are. Instead of you attacking me all the time. Get off your high horse. I know you can love God, be from a not so good family, and enjoy sex.
   
Shall I make her read it, say it or just crawl under a rock.

Chicky

I think those words come from the heart but if you are to scared to say them then pass the note to her and just go from there.

Sometimes we just need to be heard and listened to and if talking always results the same way then a love letter of sorts can be the voice we need
