WOW - If I didn't know better, I'd think you were writing about my ex !!! It was exactly the same way with me! Exactly!! Only when he "asked" for sex, he used much nastier words. ugh. After that, why would he think I'd WANT to??? Good grief. Then he wondered why it was so infrequent. Sheesh.

Mine interrogated me too about everything -- mostly about money. What did I spend and where?? Then I got a lecture about how money doesn't grow on trees. I did NOT overspend -- I was lucky that he'd let me buy groceries!! Yet he always had an extra $100 in his wallet every WEEK to do with whatever he wanted. I had to account for every single penny!!

I talked to my husband about his nasty talk about sex -- did it do any good?? NO. He never hugged me - he mauled me.

Needless to say, there were other problems in the marriage -- so after 26 long years, I divorced him. Why did I wait so long? I waited until the last child was 18 yrs old. It's a long story why I did that, but I was finally FREE.

I wish I could give you a magic wand and cure the problem. But without counseling and HIM willing to LISTEN -- I'm afraid it won't go away. God bless you and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
