Abused By Husband’s Family

I feel like I no longer have my husband’s support. I feel that she is controlling us, and me. If I say something about it, I am wrong. I feel so unhappy.

Lack of Intimacy and Respect in my marriage

My husband and I have been married for almost 1 year. When it comes to sex, he thinks that it is the most important thing. I have told him when it hurts to have sex, he still has sex with me. When I am having my monthly, he still wants some type of sexual favor. He does not respect me at all in bed. He comes close to and sometimes enters the forbidden area. I have asked him not to do this because it is uncomfortable for me. Every time we have sex, he goes to this area.
