Hi Girl. Welcome to TT. I really like Iha's advice to you. I wish that I had read that when I was in a similar position. I know that it can be hard to talk about sex. You don't want to hurt him or get hurt yourself, you don't want to make things worse. How do you even bring it up if you don't have a history of talking about it? And it all seems so silly because this is your life partner and you feel like you SHOULD be able to talk to him about it. Most of all, there is a fear of a bad reaction from him, maybe even rejection. What if you put yourself out there and he doesn't take you seriously or doesn't take you at all? So scary, right? You know what's worse? Not taking that scary leap of faith. It is hard at first. Admit to him that you're nervous bringing it up. Tell him that you fear he will not want you or whatever you're biggest fear is. Speak from the heart. Then comes the payoff. It gets much easier to talk about and you will be open to each other more than ever before. And it's fun to have this person you love and where nothing is off limits to talk about. Its scary, but so worth it. The alternative is to continue to grow apart. Don't take that route. Good luck! Let us Know how it goes.
