I have been married for going on eight years now and we are happy and definitely in love. He works and I've been at with our children for almost six years now. We're both tired at night and sex is becoming a serious rarity in our house.

 

There's a more serious issue at hand though. I've seemed to have developed a fear or embarrassment of initiating sex and foreplay. I even get all weird about "real" kissing. I know it's stemming from my own personal body issues and self esteem, but I'm really finding it difficult to open up.

 

My main issue is I get incredibly timid and nervous when we're together anymore. And he's not the type of guy that should make anyone nervous. It's like I've changed so much personally over the past year that we've grown apart, well I have anyway. I still love him and like the over the moon kind of love. I just freeze up like anything I do may make him laugh at me or think I've lost my mind.

 

Sex is becoming a challenge since he wants me to come on to him more and I freeze up, like I don't know what to do. I feel so silly and awkward trying to love on him. I get so embarrassed.

 

Hell I want to desperately start dressing a little sexy since I've lost so much weight, but I'm so afraid he's going to disapprove or laugh or think I'm trying to hard. I'm so confused by my own emotions and behaviors at this point.

Why dont you surprise him by dressing up and waiting for him in the bed? Did he say anything about your body that it feels so awkward for you to make love?

he's never had anything but nice things to say. he's just the type of personality that isn't really emotional, passionate, or romantic. so he doesn't demonstrate much affection or dish out compliments unless provoked. i really need to fish to get those types of things from him. but honestly he's always been that way, it's nothing new.
