Emotional and physical neglect

It's called insecurity from the one with holding. It certainly does not constitute a marrage. A counsleor is in order and if they won't do that with you it's time to move on. There are both sexes out there that feel it's control to do that. I do not see it as control I see it as stupidity. If you really love someone in my book you will do whatever it takes within reason to make the other feel as if they are special. That's what works for me. Neither of us ever tell the other no and that's what works for us! It's a two way street you have to give what you want to get what you need. Hope this helps. The best of luck to you!

I hope your husband is not suffering from sexual anorexia. Sexual anorexia is an obsessive state in which the physical, mental, and emotional task of avoiding sex dominates one's life. Like self-starvation with food or compulsive dieting or hoarding with money, deprivation with sex can make one feel powerful and defended against all hurts. As with any other altered state of consciousness, such as those brought on by chemical use, compulsive gambling or eating, or any other addiction process, the preoccupation with the avoidance of sex can seem to obliterate one's life problems. The obsession can then become a way to cope with all stress and all life difficulties. Yet, as with other addictions and compulsions, the costs are great. In this case, sex becomes a furtive enemy to be continually kept at bay, even at the price of annihilating a part of oneself.

Well, it isn't called anything in particular but it is a big concern. I would think it is time for you to have a talk about this because in a marriage, communication about this is crucial. If you feel you are being neglected there could be something going on so I would talk to your spouse asap and find out what is going on and express your feelings.

i'm not sure there's an actual term, but it is when most people seek out counseling. If your spouse is doing so because you did something wrong, sort of like your terms of grounding and punishment, then it'll blow over in a bit, and there's no real reason to seek counseling. If the spouse is really mean and rude in addiction to no affection, it could actually be considered verbal abuse..

SERIOUS ANSWER: Alienation of Affection. this is the legal term. it is not recognized in every state, so you need to find out if your state does before going further. but this can be used to help get more than 50% in divorce settlements and in some states if an affair resulted you can then sue the mistress for causing Alienation of Affection. i know illinois allows this because i was actively pursuing a lawsuit against the woman my husband left me for when i was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!

It is legally called Alienation of Affection. It's a cause for divorce in many states.

Its called being cold and a having a troubled relationship. You can't build a marriage on sex, but you can't have one without it either.

I would call it emotional abuse. This is not something that is going to change unless you have a talk. Find out if something else is going on to cause this neglect. Good luck.
