I've been dating my boyfriend for about 4 years now, however we took a break about a year ago and have gotten back together in the last couple months. The break came about for a multitude of reasons we were fighting a lot, lived in different cities and were just in a weird place in our relationship. I didn't want the break, he bought it up and I was vehemently against it. Partly due to insecurity and partly because I would miss him too much. Before I go on I really do love him he is the most comforting and supportive person ever. Over time I saw the break for what it was, time for both of us to appreciate and miss eachother and when I moved to his city for my new job we slowly got back together. It was like the first time.
Anyway we had a quite an active sex life before, healthy but abundant I would say. However, ever since we got back together it's not the same anymore. I'm fine with kissing or making out but as soon as it goes further than that I feel physically sick and nauseated, it almost reminds me of motion sickness. We have had sex a couple times since and it's been the same each time and I've just powered through it. Once we've finished I need to go in the shower to wash him off. He has commented on it and I usually make up some excuse about what I ate or that I'm tired. It's so weird because I love how he smells but my body has such a visceral reaction to it.
When we were broken up we did say we could date other people but neither of us really went further than a couple of tinder dates and kissing – I trust him and he trusts me and since it was part of the deal we wouldn't have been too upset.
I dont know what this is so has this ever happened to anyone else? I don't even know how I would begin to bring this up.
