I’m a 22 year old female and I just recently got married. My husband is 28 and I have been with him for the past 3 years. We have no children and don’t plan on having any in the near future.

My problem is this: when my husband touches me, I get a sick feeling in my stomach and my skin crawls. It’s not that I don’t love him, or that he isn’t attractive; it’s just something about the way he touches me that makes me feel “icky”. It doesn’t matter where he touches me or how gently he does it, it always makes me feel like he has no respect for me. He has asked me many times why this is happening and I honestly don’t know how to explain it to him because I don’t understand it myself!

I am very concerned about this because I am starting to think that maybe we do not belong together after all…We fight a lot as well (about stupid things) but whenever we talk about anything serious like our relationship, marriage plans, etc., everything goes well until we start arguing again!
