Early in our marriage, she came on to me very strong once when she was drunk. It turned me off and I told her we would wait until she was sober. She then made a big show of masturbating -- and since then, she has never come on to me like that. Sometimes I wonder if my rejection of her started the whole cycle, injured her pride and embarassed her. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then, and it's a stretch to think it would still have much of an effect.


I've not been to this section of the forum before & I know that I'm posting late but when i read this a light went on & i felt that i had to respond...

yes it could be that your wife is in fact hurting inside from that rejection years ago...

i'm unable to exercise in front of my husband because he laughed at me trying to do situps when we were 1st married...
he didn't mean for it to be hurtful & in fact got down on the floor to show me how to do it properly but none the less "the little girl inside" was hurt & to this day i'm still unable to exercise in front of him

maybe you could ask your wife about the incidence & if she admits that it hurt her feelings then be sure to apologise, i know that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings but it might have & an apology might help her to get past the hurt that she's been feeling all of this time

hope this helps
