I was reading this, and it got me perturbed:

And of course, the columnist says that *he* needs to change!

So basically, wifey does not want to even do for her husband the stuff she did with her prior men? Is not hubby entitled to the best possible sexual performance wifey can do?Dear Carolyn:
After multiple relationships not working out because both parties were dishonest in one way or another, I decided to use a new approach to my current relationship. I am 23, met my current boyfriend (also 23) online, and decided to be COMPLETELY HONEST.
This was meant to mostly cover my feelings, as I tended to hold things in unhealthily, but I let it fold over to all aspects, including the disclosure of my sexual history. I have now learned this was a mistake.
This man is all I’ve ever wanted in a partner, we live together, we’ve talked about getting engaged, and I’ve never had a better friend in the world. But he can’t get past what I’ve told him; he loves to throw things in my face, such as how I won’t try something with him in the bedroom that he knows I did with someone else.
How can I help him get past it? Expressing the frustration it causes me has had no effect on the way he acts or speaks about it.
And of course, the columnist says that *he* needs to change!

He is the one who has to get past it, and it doesn’t sound as if he’s trying. If he won’t try, then I don’t see any other answer than to break up.
I can’t speak for you, but “all I’ve ever wanted in a partner” is someone who accepts me as-is. You don’t have that — he’s punishing you for who you are. Are, were: Same diff, by the way
Unbelievable!Maybe he’s just young and stupid and will eventually figure out that your life mileage is not about him, but how many cheap shots are you prepared to take from him — in the bedroom, at your most vulnerable — while you wait for him to grow up?
EDIT: Here is a comment:
Sorry, but the more I think about this one the more pissed off I get. The idea that she is somehow dangling these sex acts in front of him just buys into every "women's sexuality is there for the benefit of men" old attitude there was. What justification is there for him to be upset if he is not holding a "you did it for him so you can do it for me" attitude? This comes pretty close to "you can't rape a prostitute" territory, I'd say.
