I asked a similar question yesterday and the range of answers didn’t really help me much. So now I’m rephrasing the question, hopefully to get some positive answers that I can use to truly get insight to my wife’s situation.
My wife told me on our wedding night that she had been molested by an uncle as a teenager. This was the same time she told me that she could no longer do certain things to me orally in bed. These were things she did during our whole courtship, and she stopped doing them from the time we got married.
She does not openly discuss what happened to her, but has told me bits and pieces. From these bits and pieces she expects me to understand what happened to her, how it made her feel, and the does and don’ts of getting oral sex from her. Because of the bits and pieces I’m completely confused.
Let me explain how confusing this is. When I feel so confused I don’t even try to get oral sex she get’s upset and says “I never said I wouldn’t do it. I like doing it, and the way it makes you feel.” When I come out and ask for it, she gets upset with me (I guess I’m not supposed to ask). However if during sex I just put it in her face she enjoys that. She likes me putting my hand on the back of her head and guiding her, but I can’t actually push her head down to initiate it. She’s even okay with me being rough and foreful (which doesn’t make sense to me).
I’m throughly confused, because having been in another relationship with a woman who was sexually assaulted the opposite of the above would make sense. When I try to talk about the do’s and don’ts she gets upset because I’m making her relive the situation.
Can someone please help me understand what may be going through her mind?
P.S. She WON’T go to counseling. She said she tried it 15 years ago and it doesn’t work.
P.P.S. I love my wife, but I don’t understand how oral sex wasn’t an issue before we got married, but it started being an issue on our wedding night. It seems like the out way around would make sense. Don’t women usually hold back before they get married and give everything to the man when they do?
