My boyfriend gets mad if we don’t have sex

I have been with my partner coming up to 4 years, are sex life used to be really good multiple times daily. Obviously a lot has changed and life has got much busier over the years and due to this we tend to have sex around 3-4 times a week mostly due to busy life’s being tired and I’ve been prescribed 150mg of sertraline.

I haven’t been on any medication for a few days due to running out and waiting on my prescription due to this I’ve been feeling unwell. I’ve been feeling crappy for the past two days, today I haven’t been able get out of bed. As soon as he gets home from work he just wants my absolute attention he has to be constantly in my space which I don’t mind but when I’m not we’ll and I’m sweating one minute and cold the next the last thing I want to be doing is being cuddled. after about an hour of cuddling I moved away to sit up because I felt sick and I told him I just need my own space for a minute he then said to me that I never show him any intimacy I never let him touch me that I never touch him that we never do anything. I told him that we had literally been cuddling and I needed some space as i feel Ill and he laughed at me like yeah okay then you feel ill.

so after a couple of hours doing our own thing we was chilling again cuddling and watching tv. He’s then trying to make a move on me sexually which I told him I don’t want to do as I do not feel well. He then proceeded to push me of him he told me that im boring that I never want to do anything. He said that he is a man and a man has needs, he went on to accuse me of cheating and fucking someone else and told me that he is leaving tomorrow to find someone who’ll have sex with him when ever he wants.

well I got up out of bed and went downstairs to sleep on the sofa, he was continuing to shout me and kept coming downstairs waking me up. I told him I wanted to be left alone and he just kept coming in and turning the lights off. He makes a lot of jokes about our sex life to people he’ll say things like “you must be mad if you think I get touched” , “ mines not been used in ages”. But I really don’t understand because it’s not like we don’t ever have sex we do have sex. I’ll name the days when we last had sex and he’ll tell me that I’m lying and it’s been longer than that.

i Really don’t know what to do should I be having more sex with him. I do try to as much as I can but I am tired a lot of the time

Leave him. I'm currently divorcing someone who once said to me that he'd read an article that stated - men need at least a blowjob or a hand job a day to keep healthy"

See my other thread from today. It gets worse.

I’m currently looking for employment I was working in a bar but he didn’t like me coming back in the late hours it would be an argument when I’d get back at 3am untill 6 am he would go on and on and on accusing me of everything to the point I would just be so tired. I ended up quitting that job & I’ve been looking since. I left him in charge of my birth certificate and his birth certificate for sending our passports for recorded delievery. My documents were all lost but they have received him so at the moment I have no birth certificate so I’m just waiting to get some money in my bank so I can buy my self a new one and get my self a job and hopefully get my own place from there.

I've never needed to show my birth certificate for a job - passport or driving licence is accepted for ID.

Go back to your place, get a job and call the police if he harasses you. If he threatens suicide, call an ambulance and he won't pull that stunt again. It's a common manipulation technique from his type.

It'll be more "peaceful" for your family's well as you in the long run when you've ended it for good. I don't suppose your mother is getting a moment's peace knowing you're with someone like him.

This thread is 3 years old. Hopefully the OP is in pastures new by now.

Hi all,
This thread is rather old and we very much hope that the person who posted it has moved on with her life - if anyone wants to start a new thread the way to do it is to hit 'start thread' at the top right hand of this page.

It is sad the OP was a victim of abusive behaviour from a male.

But why are people commenting on a post that is 3 years old. Mumsnet HQ have even advised about this upthread.
