My boyfriend withholds affection because he thinks my kids demand too much time.
Since he moved in, our sex life has dwindled to almost nonexistent. He refuses to be intimate when the kids are home, yet he hasn’t made the most of the “alone time” we do have when the kids aren’t here. He usually goes to bed early, without so much as a goodnight kiss. Or he’ll go out on weekend days and not include me.I don’t know how to talk to him because he gets defensive and gaslights any issues I bring up.
You state that your sex life is over, and when you raise other important issues, he gaslights you. This does not bode well for a healthy future.
