How do I break this pattern?!

If you knew those feelings were not there at first, then why would you marry him? You need to divorce him after telling him everything wrong you have done. Then go get a job as a stripper, you’ll get plenty of male attention there. :roll_eyes:

Have you tried flirting with your husband? I get that you might want him to take initiative, but try flirting with him first and see how he responds. However you do need to get scolded. There is no excuse for cheating, you need to be more comfortable with telling your husband your emotional needs. Don’t legally bind yourself to a man and then act like you can’t have a conversation with him. It’s way less effort and less shame just talking to him.

Hummmm,hummmm, hummmm. Sooo we see why you married your husband, but the question is:why did you think that you(character)would change personally?What was it about your husband that you thought would change you…I think that you have always been like this. Being disappointed isn’t new too you. I think you will only find satisfaction when you find it within yourself and God.Only then will your husband will be good enough for you.Why do you think that only desire equates too love(self worth).Where did you learn that or who told or taught you that?

Are you actually cheating on your husband asking how to be more attracted to him!!! Stop being a cheating slut… Your attraction is secondary to your fedelity… You are married… If you’re sleeping with any other man no matter the reason you don’t deserve the man you have.

Be nice? Why don’t you be nice to your husband and quit cheating on him.

You can’t force yourself to be attracted to your husband. Leave now and concentrate on your kids, not yourself. Get therapy.

Your husband deserves better. I hope he finds out, and I hope he gets out of there. 🤷🏻‍♀ YOU don’t need advice, you need to stop toying with someone’s heart. Its terrible.

If you’re unhappy with your marriage then just… leave?? Tf. You don’t give a damn about him if this is what you’re doing. Let him go and let him find someone who will actually value him. You’re being INCREDIBLY selfish.
Also, a relationship usually will not work if you’re not sexually attracted to them. And you can’t force yourself to be sexually attracted to him either. You have a decision to make.

There a word for women like you ! How many of the men you’re sleeping with are married, how many lives are you hurting ! I hope your husband leaves you & finds a decent woman . And by the way, you might be attractive on the outside but you’re not very pretty on the inside :+1:

You asked for our opinion … void of us judging your circumstances?!

That’s like going before a judge :man_judge: telling them your story, and then saying; give me your opinion … without judging what you’ve heard?!

And be nice!

In other words, don’t hurt my feelings, with the truth. Sugar coat it.

Because, you already know the situation here!

  1. It wasn’t Healthy, Emotionally, Mentally, Ethically or Morally, to yourself or certainly to husband … to marry somebody that you are not sexually attracted too.

You said yourself that sexual attraction is sooooooo important to you, and it isn’t there.

Imagine how your husband must feel. Probably the same way, when men ghost you. Unattractive & unworthy. Only from his wife. A stranger would be easier to except.

It sounds like You’re here to get confirmation that it “is” wrong … and support/encouragement to stop this behavior.

It’s NOT a pattern, it’s a CHOICE. And you’ve been doing some serious “work” to cover all this stuff up … to not get caught.
It’s always a lot of WORK to do wrong.

Doing RIGHT, is FAR much easier.

*I would start, by telling your Husband the TRUTH. Because, IF he finds out (before YOU tell him) your marriage will most likely be over for sure!

(Unless, that is secretly what you want. Maybe :thinking: that is “why” you have affairs? I don’t know :woman_shrugging:)

Then go get counseling by yourself (from a WOMAN) … and then couples counseling.

Providing you want to save your marriage.

Whatever you choose, I wish you AND your husband … Healthy & Happy Lives. Sincerely, life is seriously so short. This pandemic should have taught us, to value people, and love one another. :purple_heart:

I can smell your fishy twat from here. Cheating on your spouse is no bueno. Also to late for the “don’t judge me” :clown_face:

Hey mamma - have you thought about talking to your husband about being open to a polyamorous relationship (do some research and talk to people in those relationships to learn more if you are unfamiliar). It’s something I know people have done successfully and it’s really enriched their lives. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worth bringing up with him.

You have to CHOOSE your husband everyday. You’re not doing that. Literally just choose your husband. Stop cheating, stop letting sexual feels get in the way… anybody can flirt with you… anybody can build you up sexually But what matters most is who loves you and whose been there for you no matter what. You’re doing your husband wrong… period. You need to leave him if you can’t commit to him and only him.

If you want to be with him then you need to explain to him everything that has happened and be truthful about it all… especially the infidelity and the fact that you’re not really sexually attracted to him.

Sexual fulfillment is an emotional need. When it isn’t met, it can be difficult. I would be honest with your husband, have a conversation with him. Let him know how your feeling. There are ways to build that up with him and things you can try to increase the sexual attraction. Try counseling with sex therapist.

If you feel that your needs can’t be met. I would end the relationship, infidelity is traumatic to many.

I wish you luck!

Yes, it is a choice. You choose to put your husband first. You choose this certain life style and the emotions will follow but you first you have to choose. When you see handsome men look away. One day you’ll be old and no one will be attracted to you anymore… What will you have left? Will your husband still be there seeing his young beautiful wife through his eyes? Or will you be old and alone. These men don’t care about you… They just want what you have to offer and then bye. But yet your husband sits and waits for you… Think about that hard. Maybe your husband will become more appealing to you when you associates his love with attraction vs physical attraction. You know how many women wished they had YOUR husband? Think about that too!

This whole post girl?? It’s giving me childhood trauma that’s suppressed and coming out via your character . You have what you claim is “ everything” but it’s not enough for you. That’s flag #1. Flag #2 is you’re not sexually attracted to your husband? Okay so why would you date him? Why would you marry him? Now that was on you. You enjoy people’s attention because it boosts up your self esteem. You should ask yourself why? Why do I have to sleep outside of my marriage to have a confidence boost. This should make you wonder about your own happiness. You clearly were traumatized in some way that you can’t hold a healthy relationship. By all means if finding an open relationship like some people are apparently okay with , makes you feel better well sis go find that . But to actively cheat and justify your actions? No . You need need therapy. They need to discuss with you what happened that makes you destroy everything you have for a “ fling”. Speaking of experience because my ex did this. He had family trauma among a million things . You ma’am are giving heavy unstable vibes. However you’re asking for help which is step #1 but Facebook is not the place , online/in-clinic therapy is

You said it in your post they get what they want… open your eyes how would you feel if it was being done to you eventually your husband will find out…if you have everything you need like you say at home make it work communication tell your husband how you feel better yet make him feel important go the extra mile with him make him feel special flirt with him bring a spark back to him maybe he feels like you…or maybe he knows what your doing behind his back

Being in a relationship Is way more than being sexually attracted to someone you can think someone looks good without lusting and going further, looks will change but the heart is what you should look at and it seems like your husband is that amazing guy for you so I honestly dont understand y u would cheat but I would come clean and pray that this issue can be fixed. How would you feel if the roles were reversed?

Of course everyone is going to say to leave your husband. But you should genuinely talk to him. Tell him these things in a calm and respectable manner. If he gets mad don’t cry or get emotional and give him time to feel his feelings. It’s completely understandable to need a little more from your partner sometimes. Jus ask him to do these things. Either he can help you spice things up and feel sexual together or he may be willing to open your relationship in a number of ways. Plenty of men are aroused by the idea of their wives with other men -few will admit it however. That can range from having an open relationship (which will include setting strong boundaries for you both) or even just using flirting or being a little naughty with other men but not really sleeping with anyone else. It’s important to be honest with everything you want, don’t want, and to admit if you might not know how you feel until you try it. Good luck, I hope you can spice up you life with your husband and repair any damage you may have done to him or your relationship. If he choses to leave you, respect that decision.

If your husband is unaware or you aren’t in an open relationship, you need to break it off with him. It will hurt him in a way which will effect any other relationship he has moving forward. Something to remember is confession will usually bear forgiveness but if he finds out on his own it maybe way worse for you because he’ll never be able to trust you again.

So you’re married and having sex with other men?

No one deserves to be cheated on. Even a complete A hole. Leave your husband. He deserves better

Your husband definitely deserves better. And the reason why there’s no sexual attraction or sexual activity between you both is because he prolly knows you’re cheating. Do him a favor and divorce the poor guy and THAT will break your cycle.
Once a cheater always a cheater.

Sorry but you’re to into yourself and your needs that you would not only disrespect and degrade yourself for some attention and validation from other men when they already know the type of person you are just by the way you carry yourself and know they can just have sex with you and toss you right out when they’re done using you. Meanwhile you’ve betrayed your husband in the worse way. You don’t deserve a good man like him. I don’t understand how you could look him in the eye, sleep next to him after what you’ve done. You’re pretty disgusting if you ask me with low self esteem…Marriage is sacred, a unity made in one flesh, a vow you made before God u promise to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. And for you to just say " you want to break this pattern" which i assume wasn’t the first time and the sexual attraction for you is so important…WOW! SMH :woman_facepalming: Your selfish behavior lead to adultery. Fear God and focus on loving yourself more than pleasing your needs with random men. If you never felt any major chemistry or attraction for your husband, then why did you marry him to begin with? Is it for your own self gratification?
You know God is against treacherous treatment. He warns us over and over again to watch ourselves carefully and to not act treacherous against our spouses in the Malachi…

Leave your husband so he can find someone who truly loves him. He deserves far better than a cheap cheater who betrays him.

It breaks my heart to know that people this selfish exists. I’m not “being mean” but think about if this was a man writing this and cheating on his wife. How sad.

My ex husband who cheated… Caught something. I hope your husband is lucky and isn’t catching what you might possibly be bringing home.

Now to answer you… Let your husband be. He isn’t the issue. You’re the issue. Even after a man sleeps with you, he ghosts you and you say “I feel unattractive.”

Get therapy because (and I’m not being a dick), it really seems like you lack something. Insecurities to name one of the many issues you’ve mentioned in your post. I hope your husband is lucky to find somebody who really loves him one day.

What you’re doing is wrong and tells me you need help…seek it…after a long talk with your husband of course.

I’m sorry, why would you be with someone you aren’t attracted to lol. As someone that was cheated on for 12 years straight, I have no sympathy for cheaters whatsoever. You should have never let it get this far, I feel sorry for your poor husband. Poor man. That’s horrible. I’m SO lost why you would marry someone you aren’t attracted to lol.

You got some deep rooted issues that you need to uncover. Maybe some trauma you haven’t even begun to realize. It’s not fair for your husband to suffer the consequences of your promiscuity. Your attention seeking behavior along w the promiscuity could be a sign of some personality disorder. I say seek professional help. Speak to a therapist. And if you can’t stop messing around then at least let your poor husband know and let him go while you work on yourself. You owe him that much at least.

Wow its hard to be nice when you are a serial cheater… You need serious professional help and quickly.

I’ve been in that situation b4. 4 me its either the attraction is there or it isn’t. It does not “grow” 4 me liked my mother always suggested!!

Your insecurities about yourself are allowing you to behave this way. More than likely your husband doesn’t know how to handle it. Step up your game with your hubby. Give your hubby some attention.

The reason you get ghosted afterwards is that they are there for what you are giving them, not because they like you. You probably dont even have to be attractive if you’re giving it away for free. And what a bonus that you’re married so they dont have to make any effort either. Dont give it away and think that you’re special because they want you. It’s not good for your soul. If you put the efforts into flirting with your husband, maybe it will spice things up. It’s something that you work on when married.
