You don't need to put up with his insecurities. Imagine life after you have a kid with this buffoon walking up to you and saying “but babe, you weren't giving me any validation.” On top of the disrespect, STDs are a real concern.

I was this woman. OP, she's not going to do a damn thing to further her imaginary career. It's a great comfort when you're working shitty jobs to imagine you've got the desire and capability to completely upend your current lifestyle. As you've seen, it's very much a different thing to actually do any of it. Unless her back ends up against a very dramatic and life-altering wall, she will remain in this rut and tell herself she's living her dream.
I don’t know, my boyfriend and I have been together for years and are quite serious but he still sends me videos and pictures. I don’t think those two things are related.
How can you protect yourself against STDs if your husband gets something? Condoms don't protect against everything – for him from sex workers nor you from him.
Odds are, it’s probably a mental block. If you have access to mental health services, speak to a therapist. And if you can speak to a sex therapist, that’s even better.
Also, you don’t get aroused at all? Regardless of the person, you have not been aroused a single time in the past 4 months?
She keeps saying no and you keep pushing. She does not want it. It’s your fantasy but she clearly isn’t into it and you need to respect her boundaries. Either let the fantasy go, or recognize that you two aren’t sexually compatible and break up for real. There is no shame in breaking up if you’re not compatible. There is shame in hounding someone to do something they don’t want.

Sigh. Yes it was immature of me, it came from some unhealed rejection sensitivity at the time
Ah I'm surprised they allow that. My husband's old church 100% would not have.
Unless she is lying.
We’re not gonna keep falling for that one, are we? Tale as old as goddamn time

so you started dating when you were 21 and 44? he's only keeping you around so you don't leave him.
