So, my boyfriend (M33) and I (F33) have been together for 6 years and I’ve recently started to feel repulsed about sex again.
During my teens and early adulthood I used to think I was asexual or demiasexual, but after therapy I realised that this rejection was more related to trauma from childhood.
Back then I was pretty innocent, but my boyfriend has been using love and sex as a power tool. And he knew I was hungry for love (I’ve only had one boyfriend before him) so I’d do anything.
What a dummy I was, I let him take advantage of my body (doing it without condom before I started to take the birth pill, try to turn our relationship into a polyamorous one, making me cosplay of anime girls, asking me for nude pics, etc.) in really humilliating ways. And I wasn’t able to say no because I was so scared, because most of the times his reaction is the cold shoulder and act like a jerk. He still does that but now I don’t give a damn, especially since we have a 2.5 year old daughter and I focus more on her rather than on him (he’s a grown man and can take care of himself).
I started to realise all this the day after I was sent home from the hospital (I got a C-section) and the first night he was already asking me for blowjobs while my newborn was crying every hour and I was suffering from (back then undiagnosed) PPD.
Every bloody night expected sex from me even though I wasn’t feeling well. And he still expects me to satisfy him like I was some sort of servant (because I also have to cook, do laundry and make appoinments for him!) but I’m sick of it. I have enough.

Ya you really messed up here, having a kid with someone like that. This isn’t even about the sex anymore, he’s just a terrible person in general. And the fact that you had a kid with him is worse!
You should have left him long ago, but better late than never.
Good on you for leaving! Will no doubt be better for the safety and health of your child too 🙂
I would have left him the moment he requested sex after I just got home from having a c section/baby.
Wow. I knew someone whose husband begged for a bj when she just got home from neck surgery. That’s why he is now the ex.
Yeah. Sex isn’t the problem. He’s an asshole who cares nothing about you.
