I understand how akward that would feel for you to tell your H to use protection, however there are several "excuses" you could give if you feel that you have to do that. You could even talk to your doctor if necessary to get help in how to handle that touchy subject. You know the minute you ask him to use protection that it is going to set him off and he is going to start a fight or getting defensive, etc. However, you must protect your body at all cost.....even his male ego. If he can sleep with another woman without protection (if he did) and not respect his wife enough to protect her, then he really doesn't deserve to have his male ego sheltered. However, I do understand what you are saying here, so don't think I am being flippant. I see him being very lucky that his wife would even consider having sex with him. But who knows? Maybe he thinks he deserves it! Just don't sell yourself short and take care of YOU b/c if you don't.....nobody else will. It is one thing to be selfless and giving and loving, but once your health is gone.....it affects the rest of your life.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
