Obviously I'm not a straignt man.   But: Man-scaping is often the clue your husband is stepping out on you with someone else. Was it you who wrote recently that he'd left the house abruptly and then come back and spent a lot of time in the bathroom?  

Please don't have sex with your husband without a condom.  

Probably because once you accept the truth, you'll have to act on it, and acting on it upends your entire life.  Just remember; his secret is not yours to keep, and his shame is not your shame to bear.  If you haven't been to a lawyer to find out what your rights are under the law in a divorce, I would strongly advise you do so.  Knowledge is power. 

I have stopped giving him his narcissistic supply because I feel empty and he never reciprocates. So now he complains about me being unavailable and putting up walls. He said that he feels like I’m disgusted by him and don’t find him attractive so he said that he did all the “man-scaping” for me but I’m 20 years, he has never done this before.

When my partner was especially cold, distant.....mean to me for about 4 months he was also shaving himself, shaving everything. And not just the weekend, during his working week. Like a gas-lighted woman I let him believe I believed him when he said "I do it for me" whilst holding tightly to a kernel of growing doubt

...I will never know the truth, but what *I* think is what matters and when I put that with all I've learned on the Forum....if he didn't do it for me then I don't need to know the truth anymore.

Thank you everyone for the responses. Twistinginthewind, he does at times have explosive moments in the bathroom and I’m not sure why he always feels the need to tell me about them but he does. I haven’t noticed the Prep H. I’m pretty sure we don’t have any. He never has bathroom accidents though.

Longwayhome, I don’t think you are rude at all. Sometimes I need to hear this kind of harsh truth and you are right. I am constantly, always making excuses for him...literally always. I feel like I’ve been brainwashed. One time when I watched the Waco show on Netflix-I was amazed at how similar the relationship between the cult leader and the cult members were to my relationship with my husband.

The part about him telling me that I think he’s disgusting, is right on point too. He knows he’s not disgusting. He’s a very handsome man. I wondered if he used that word just because he knows that I would think it’s disgusting what he is doing or that he’s gay. I don’t know. It’s one thing to suggest that I no longer find him attractive but to jump all the way to disgusting seemed like a bizarre leap. So you are probably right. He’s trying to reel me back in.

Elle, I’m afraid that one day I will have to make the same decision. I don’t believe he will ever come out and be honest with me but I know there is something wrong, something not right.

Phoenix,
What you said is very interesting. He never thinks I’m able to do anything right so it makes sense that the rhythm would be off for me giving oral. No one can do anything quite like he can so it makes sense that this would apply to this situation also. This is something that I have never considered before and I appreciate you telling me this. You are right though, that it still doesn’t make sense as to why he’d still never ask for it, even when f he doesn’t climax. You would still have to think it feels good. What you said about the “manscaping” is interesting also. We never have discussed it, and I’ve never indicated that it matters to me-one way or another.
