Me (32F) and my husband (38M) are coming out of a long period of having a dead bedroom. Not everything is fixed yet, but we’re making more of an effort to be intimate and flirty and touchy to make sure we don’t slip back into old ways.
I was in the shower tonight and I decided to take a sexy photo to send to him. I’ve not been overly body confident for a long time (a contributing factor to our dead bedroom) so sending him something that wasn’t perfectly staged and framed felt like I was pushing my boundaries.
I sent off the photo, got dressed, and went out to the living room. He was playing video games (which is fine!) and hadn’t looked at the pic yet, so I went to play around on my phone on the other side of the room.
After 20 minutes he looks at the photo.
I was hoping for a ‘wow you look gorgrous’ or maybe even if I were lucky something a little more sexual.
Instead, he turns to me, and in the spookiest Count Dracula voice I’ve ever heard, says ‘BooOOOoooOOOooooOOObsss!’
And replied to my picture with a gif of a ghost. And then went back to his game.
Now, I understand he may not have been expecting boobs and that was just his knee jerk reaction… But I can’t help feel a bit confused? And maybe disappointed? I don’t want him laughing or joking every time I send him a picture. Do I stop sending pictures? Do I pretend like the ghost boobs thing never happened and just get over it? Do I talk to him about it???
I’m a bit lost and would appreciate some other perspectives on this please 🙃
