I tried it with the Ex?

My gf and I trying to get back together after a 6 month break. We have been together for about 8 years. We had an open and swinging type relationship most of the time, it was mostly for her but I enjoyed that lifestyle also. Problem is she can't get enough sex. She has had some therapy, for this before I meet her, ever since she was about 8 years old, but none since she was 16. She is 40 now. I realize that I can't totally satisfy her so I have again continued to let her seek some outside "help". But again that has started to become a problem for us, If I try to tell her no, or get her to slow down on how many guys she is seeing, she gets mad, even violently, and thinks that it is all my fault, my problem, and she is ready to run out, or get me so mad I throw her out. She will say that I am too controlling and not letting her have everything she wants. I do give her almost everything she has wanted since she came back that we can afford for her to have, and have given up on most all of my outside activities. I stay home for her as much as possible, leaving only so she can see other guys. Our sex life is good, not great but close, and getting better until I started to complain. Now it looks like it is going to end again. So should I give in and let her have her way, I love her and will miss her and the sex very much. I don't think I will ever find a better match for myself sexually. Sex is important to me, but its not my life as it is for her. Or should I demand that she seek treatment for her problem, and try to get her to become more normal. I don't think she will go for this now or ever or would have tried it. Or kick her out again and get on with with my life, as a single horny never, as she is happy living this way. Most of those close to me will say to dump her, but most of them just want to sleep with her and will as soon as she is away from me, even thought most have but don't when we are a couple. I'm not jealous of what she does, unless it is without my knowledge, which is rare, she is veryt jealous of me being with another girl so I very rarely do that anymore. We spend most all our time together and talk about all of our feelings.She says that toys just don't do the same thing for her, but I don't think that she is being honest with herself, and maybe could use some more therapy. She will say it is my problem for not accepting it, she is bi-polar and will sometimes want to be with only me, and will act like I'm the one with all the sexual problems. I'm willing to help her if she will work with me but how do I get her to agree seeking this help with me.

    To me what you have wrote about seems to give me the impression that maybe she wants to feel sexy. She wamts to feel wanted. She wants attention. She wants to know that people find this in herself and you know what. That could be something to do with her past. Maybe as a child her mother and father got divorced. Or maybe she felt rejected in some parts of her life and felt unattractive or missed out on a lot in her childhood.

    Some what will be partly to do with her past. Have you tried paying her attention. Meaning that you tell her you love her . You think she is beautiful everyday etc etc.

    You don't sound controlling I mean a controlling person will stop all contact with others etc. If your partner is jealous of you going out with others but she is doing it her self that tells me rhat she wants to be loved. She wants the attention. She wants to feel the only one. She is being selfish by thinking i can do it but my partner cannot !!.

    Personally. This is how your relationship started. It wont change because that is how she and you got used to one another ( sleeping around)

    So its either make or break. Allow her to know how you are feeling by showing her how she feels about you. Tell her you feel the same. Or even tell her and tell her why you stopped. Because of it upsetting her !!.

    And how you would like to be treat the same.

    She could do witg having a little bit of councilling doing .

    Leave her and tell her if she wants to be with you, she needs to seek out help for herself.

    This is no way to live. You arent happy in this relationship.and never will be unless she changes her sexual behaviour.

    I dont know how you have put up with it for so long.

    I am sorry you are going through this, and i get your predicament but you need to be happy...and currently you are not.
