My boyfriend of 10 years, and I have hit bottom in our relationship. There's been much verbal abuse in the past. I thought I could take it, but it finally got to me and it's made me cold toward him. Eventually I totally lost the desire for sex. I figure if I don't feel close to him then he can't hurt me. Its my way of protecting myself. He seems to think that it's my way of punishing him. I'm just not wanting sex, at all. I feel I need some time. Am I wrong to ask for a week or two off.
