Screen 13 of 45

This was devastating, I had not realized how unhappy she had become; she was exhausted by it all. We withdrew from each other, I tried to give her space and we went through a rather difficult patch. We gradually settled into a routine which involved minimal interaction, I pleasured her once a week orally only when invited, I did not initiate any sexual activity; I went back to masturbating in private. She barely touched me. I had hurt her deeply and lost her trust. She felt abused. She refused even to talk about it. Now, 2 years on I understand completely why she had to call a halt. I had been on an emotional roller coaster. Its given me a lot of time to reflect and I’m deeply ashamed of the way I treated her. I “served my time” as penitently as possible and tried not to annoy or stress her in any way. I suppose she was punishing me and it took almost 2 years before we talked intimately about sex.
