Heya!
I feel guilty for posting this but my marriage doesn't make me very happy. My wife has a hard time being physically affectionate due to her past and "not being used to it." despite us being married for nearly 4 years.
This really sucks for me because I really crave physical affection as I was denied it all my life, growing up with an abusive parent. I'm hoping to find a friend who can give me moral support in this, because right now I feel alone despite being married, and that's not a good feeling.
I'm a nerdy, cheerful person. I can be goofy and say dumb bathroom humor level jokes or talk very deeply depending on the vibe. I plan to study to become a therapist to help people, like me, who suffered a lot during their childhood live "normal" lives.
I've struggled with mental health most of my life due to my childhood traumas and have recently made big strides in making it better. It's made me feel unlovable because I'm not the provider I feel like a husband should be. And my wife knows this, and sometimes makes it clear that I'm not great in this aspect and I'm lucky she's so patient which reinforces my negative feelings about myself. I'm hoping to find a supportive friend to help me break that loop.
Anyway, if I'm someone you'd like to talk to please feel free to DM me. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. :) thank you.
