Main: Loki x female!Reader Ex: Thor x female!Reader

You were on your way back home after ending a grueling shift at work. Everything around you left you in a sensory overload. The sound of your feet pattering on the sidewalk, the aggressive car horns of New York’s taxis, conversations you passed by all created a stinging buzz that roared in your head. Finally reaching the station, you walked down a flight of stairs, the horrific New York air filling your nose. A stench that made you feel at home but somehow could never get used to. Sighing you thought to yourself.

I just wanna get home.

The idea of having to mush yourself into the train in desperate hopes of not only being able to find a seat but to not be bombarded with the evening nonsense made the buzz in your head turn into an unfortunate headache. Waiting for the train to rush through the tunnel, you grabbed your phone and frowned, seeing that your boyfriend had yet to answer the text you sent earlier. He said he was free from any heroic duties for the next month so it was peculiar to not hear from him. You began to grow worried.

Picking at your nails, you were thinking about all the possible “what ifs” that could have happened with Thor. You guys had been dating for some time now, almost two years. It had become common to be met with all the craziness that his job title of hero held. Truly anything could happen. So, of course, your brain was constructing all of the terrible things that could’ve possibly happened with him.

You couldn’t fuss about it too long, the train came bustling through the tunnel, the air from up underneath it blasting you in the face with the trademarked scent of burnt rubber tires and gasoline smoke. You trudged your way into the train, squeezing your way to a spot closest to the door so you could make your way out quickly. Holding on to the railing beside you, you popped your AirPods in and dissociated. Trying your best to drown out the noise and the perpetual thoughts of what was going on with your boyfriend. You couldn’t help the aggressiveness of your worries so you pulled out your phone and gave Thor’s phone a ring.

You waited, and waited, and waited and the line went to voicemail. Your mind was running a mile a minute. It felt like you couldn’t breathe. You tried composing yourself, you were almost at your stop. When the PA system announced your stop, you rushed through the automatic doors and ran to your apartment. The sky, now overcast, and the slight smell of rain tainting the air, only adding to the tension. Running up the outside set of stairs, you headed to the elevator preparing yourself for the worst. Once the elevator dinged, you rushed down the hallway to your apartment.

Fumbling with your keys at the door, you began to hear a slew of moans. Stopping in your tracks, you moved your head closer to the door to make sure that you were hearing the moans slip from the other side of your apartment door. Placing your ear against the door your suspicions were confirmed with a groan that seemed to billow from none other than Thor’s throat. Your heart began to shatter and become blanketed with the bitterness of winter, you slowly turned the key into your apartment.

Conscious of your steps you tried your best to not cause creaks to squeak from the floorboards. The air wreaked of sex and was starting to become seasoned with rotten jealousy. Turning the corner to head down to your shared bedroom, you were acquainted with Thor pile driving into your best friend.

She caught you in the doorway and to your dismay, she called out

“Y/N! Oh my god. Thor stop!”

With the mention of your name, Thor whipped his head around but you were already making your way towards the front door. He threw on his pants that were thrown on the floor and rushed his way over to you.

“Y/N!”

You turned around with a quickness and landed your hand right across his cheek. Leaving him with a scarlet mark to brand his betrayal upon him. You looked up at him through your eyebrows because you didn't have the strength to look at him in the eyes for the tears that were welling up would threaten to spill over.

“Thor...why don’t you go finish your business with her. Since clearly, she’s the priority.”

“Y/N, it’s not what you think it is. She brought herself upon me.”

“Oh! And you just couldn’t resist right. Cause she was just so overbearing against yourself?”

His silence solidified your suspicions and you wanted nothing more than to just get out of that apartment. Not waiting for him to come up with another response you grabbed your bag that you dropped on the floor and turned on your heel to leave.

“And when you release yourself of whatever leftovers you’re straining to hold, I want you to get your shit and leave. There’s nothing here to be salvaged and honestly, the last thing I wanna do is attempt to fix this.”

You slammed your apartment door and took the stair exit, not wanting to chance to have to confront him again while waiting for the elevator. Coming up on the last flight of stairs you held yourself up against the railing and felt the emotion in your throat bubble up and release itself.

It hurt. A strangled whine erupted from your throat and you hid your face in your hands. Hoping that it would muffle your cries enough so that no one would hear you in the stairwell. All of your insecurities began to settle in and resurface. Why weren’t you good enough for him? What made your best friend better? It's not like she was otherworldly or something. You could maybe understand if it was Valkyrie, but this was some regular bitch. This was someone you knew and felt undeniably close with. It felt sour, like residual vomit on the tongue.

You pushed yourself up from the stairs and slowly walked to the main door of your building. You were brought out of your haze with cold droplets of water that began to roll down your face.

“This is just comedic now.”

You laughed to yourself. Not only did you just spoil your eyes by seeing your now ex-boyfriend inside of your best friend but now you're stuck out in the exordium of New York rain with no real place to settle. Not at least until Thor packed his things and left. You put your bag over your head and searched for the nearest station to just catch a ride on. Walking down the steps, you again waited in the queue for the next train. Leaning on the wall you were suddenly overwhelmed with the stench of your wet outside clothes and wanted nothing more than to curl up and go to sleep.

With the roar of the train coming through the tunnel, you got on. Unaware of where you were going just desperately wanting to get away from the drama currently suffocating your mind. Trying to forget about the world around you, were brought back into reality by the buzzing of your phone in your pocket.

Of course, you had a list of missed calls from Thor as well as your best friend. Lists of texts from Thor, but the notification that stood out the most was a text message from Loki. It was unlikely for you to hear from him and coupled with today’s events it felt like salt being rubbed in a wound.

It can’t get any worse, honestly. Just open it. Fuck it.

Going against your brain and entrusting your gut, you opened his message.

Would you happen to be in the Manhattan area?

You looked up at the sign above the train doors, flashing the streets of the next stop. Luckily for you, you were getting ready to be dropped off right in the heart of Manhattan. Sighing you swallowed the lump in your throat and straightened your shoulders. Replacing your previous weight of mourning with now a sudden spark of pride and revenge running through your veins.

Yeah, I’m actually on my way there now, why?

You rolled your head back and bounced your leg, sudden nervousness striking your body. You didn’t fear Loki, it was nothing like that. But rather you were intimidated by him. His presence demanded attention and you were one to give it to him. You couldn’t deny that he was incredibly handsome. Despite his condescending nature, you found him all too alluring. Yet, here you were awaiting a response from him to come through.

Interested in some company while visiting your planet for personal business. Care to be that company?

Your heart started to thump behind its ribcage, beating a rhythm that you hadn’t been familiar with. You were excited. Quickly you typed back, not wanting to wait too long.

Sounds like a plan. The train is getting ready to stop, probably will be in central Manhattan in about 10. Where should I meet you?

I’ll be waiting outside the Baccarat.

The train doors dinged and you rose from your seat and maneuvered your way through the 5th Avenue-53 St. station. Climbing the stairs, you were met with the unfortunate luck of it still raining and now with nightfall completely draped over the sky, you were beginning to regret accepting the invitation of meeting Loki. Looking ahead you noticed a store on the corner. You bolted in there, desperate to find something to change your soaking top out for. You walked in and saw yourself in the mirror. Your hair was still okay somehow, not too damaged by the wetness in the air. Just a tad more frizz. Fluffing your hair, you walked away from the mirror and searched for the men's section.

Wanting an oversized hoodie you felt you had your best chance to find what you wanted there. Coming across a graphic hoodie, you pulled it off the rack and walked to the checkout.

You got into a fitting room before you left, taking off your soaked shirt and now bra, and slipped into the hoodie. Stuffing your hair under the hood, you placed your clothes into your bag, sprayed some perfume on, and walked back outside to head to the hotel. The rain had let up some but you weren’t trying to risk it considering today had been littered with bad luck. You quickly walked up the street and finally made it out to the front of the hotel.

You went to pull out your phone from your pocket, but when you did you were tapped on the shoulder. You whipped your head around, an instant attitude flooding your body. You were about to mouth off until you looked up and realized it was Loki who had grabbed your attention.

“Tense, are we?”

You rolled your eyes, wondering why you showed up. His tone worming through your ear and rattling your brain with contempt. He seemed to be a bitter reminder of his brother and you questioned why you thought this was a good idea. Looking up towards his face, you remembered why you came. His features, absolutely tantalizing, and the cadence of his speech almost always put you in a trance. The suit he was in only added to your inner desire. This was a moment of revenge, a moment of sheer pride that you needed to take advantage of. Finally, you opened your mouth and looked up at him.

“A little, the day has been quite rough, but I don’t think you’d want to hear about all that.”

You looked toward the entrance of the hotel silently wondering why you two were still waiting outside.

“Shall we go in? Standing in the rain like this is quite puerile.”

You looked up at him incredulously,

“I swear you can read minds.”

You both shared a chuckle while he guided you in the hotel, his hand resting upon your lower back. Once you were in, you were struck in awe of the decor of the building you were in. It’s not that you had never been anywhere nice before but compared to your day-to-day lifestyle this was something very unexpected. You soaked it all in, not wanting to ever leave the luxury.

“Y/N? You in there?”

You finally came to and gingerly shook your head to settle back in your body realizing you were now standing in front of the elevators.

“Yeah, I just got distracted, my bad.”

The door dinged and you two stepped into the elevator. He pressed the last set of numbers on the pad and you waited to be dropped on the floor of what you assumed where his room was. Your stomach dropped when the elevator arrived on the floor, almost adding to the anxiety you were feeling being so close to Loki. Walking down the hallway you reached his room and he pulled out his room key. Wanting to cut through the silence you broke the ice by asking Loki a question.

“So what are you doing back on Earth? Here to cause some trouble or just for leisure.”

“Leisure, more or less. I came back for my brother but he has yet to inform me of his whereabouts.”

Dropping your bag down at the door you felt your body become heavy. Like someone had just dumped an anvil on your shoulders and expected you to be fully prepared. It stung. You couldn’t escape the sour taste that lingered from the day's earlier events. You sat down on the bed and had become unusually short. You had spit back at Loki.

“Yeah, he failed to let me know as well. Had to stumble in on him.”

“What do you mean “stumble in on him”? Where was he?”

Expelling air, you puffed out your cheeks slightly. Silently expressing your disdain for the question asked. You suddenly became aware of your hair still being tucked under your hood when you went to trail your hands across the top of your head. Removing the hood and fluffing your hair, you stood and walked up to the mirror to fix yourself before sighing again. Tears of frustration began to well in the corners of your eyes. You pursed your lips into a tight pucker and had to look up toward the ceiling to prevent them from spilling.

“I’d prefer to skip over the antics, darling-”

“-Your wonderful brother was fucking somebody I was once close with, but now that relationship is undoubtedly severed, and quite honestly thinking about the event makes me want to cry and vomit.”

You finally let your voice shake and a fat tear rolled down the left side of your cheek. Hot and stinging your lash line before it fell. Exhaling more air, you shook your hands in a feeble attempt to calm yourself down. You heard the springs of the bed squeak as Loki situated himself on the bed.

“No one ever listens to me about that brute. He may be my brother but he lacks the capacity of decent intelligence.”

Turning around to face Loki, your eyebrows furrowed wondering how in the hell you thought sitting in a room with the smuggest piece of shit to ever exist would be a good idea after being cheated on by none other than his brother. Sniffling you brought yourself together and smiled at him.

“You know, for someone to be baggin on someone else about decent intelligence, you sure are lacking in the emotional department.”

“Never said I was perfect sweetheart, just alluded to being better.”

You laughed. You had to. It was all too much to bear. Your ex-boyfriend sleeping with your ex-best friend and now you’re stuck in a hotel room with his shit-eating brother. You wanted to peel off your skin and remove your brain from its confinements. You needed to leave, you could find somewhere else to loiter around until tomorrow.

“Ya know, I’m still trying to figure out why I thought having you for some company would be a good idea. Think I’m gonna leave you and your better than average intelligence to fuck off together.”

You couldn’t even look at Loki because inside you didn’t really wanna walk away. You were just projecting because all day everything that could go wrong, went wrong. It felt like your legs and heart were going to buckle at any moment and it was becoming too much to lug around silently. You wanted to scream for hours on end. Walking towards the door, you picked up your bag. Too engrossed in your thoughts to hear the bed creek signaling Loki’s movement.

“Y/N, wait.”

Loki grabbed your wrist and your heart stopped beating for a moment, almost forgetting what it was you were upset about because you had someone else’s warmth heating your tainted soul. You looked up at Loki, creases in between your eyebrows beginning to form from you trying to hold back the tears that were welling up once again.

“What? Look, Loki. I don’t want to be the downer of the evening and I’ve surely already done that. The last thing I want to do is burden you fully with what’s going on. I’m not gonna dump it all on you.”

“Will you sit down, please. Don’t leave.”

Sighing you dropped your bag and flopped onto the bed. Leaning over and burying your face in your hands.

“Let me apologize. I was not thinking about the severity of what you were dealing with, that was foolish of me.”

He sat next to you on the bed and once again placed his hand on your back but this time it was rubbing back and forth. An action that seemed to calm you down instantly. Taking a deep breath you looked at him and couldn't help but feel an overwhelming amount of lust pool in the pit of your stomach. It felt wrong but, so right. You hoped he wasn't looking too deep into your eyes because you could almost predict how blown your pupils must’ve looked.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap and be so dramatic.”

Loki chuckled to himself, a small smile dancing across his face as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and laid it on the bed.

“No need for an apology, I was being insensitive. As for your dramatics, I’ve grown used to them.”

Your face folded and your lips pursed, annoyance clear on your face.

“Yeah, you would be used to dramatics, Mr. “I need to rule over Earth cause I can’t back home.”.”

Your eyes lidded, you had your lips rolled around your teeth trying your best to hold a snicker in.

“You Midgardians never know how to let things go, do you?”

“Well considering you were demolishing half of New York with an alien army it’s kinda hard to forget....I forgive you though.”

“Do you now?” Loki raised his eyebrow smirking at your remark.

“Yup, kinda hard to stay mad at someone so easy on the eyes.”

It wasn’t until after you said your words, did you realize what just rolled off your tongue. Your eyes grew wide and heat rushed to your face. You breathed heavily out your nose and brought your gaze to his.

“Easy on the eyes huh?”

“I-” you couldn't even get any words out you were so embarrassed. All you could do was laugh to yourself and decide to be a little bit bold.

“There’s no reason for me to be shy about it. You’re obviously the more attractive one.”

Grazing your hand across his knee, you trailed your hand up to the meatier portion of his thigh.

“Are you planning on plowing through every Asgardian you meet?”

Mouth agape you couldn’t believe what he just said to you. But you realized quickly this was your time to go in and plant the seed.

“Not exactly. You’re the one I really want. Your brother just happened to fall in my lap first. It’s always been you though. Honestly, I was just too afraid to say anything. I couldn’t fathom the thought that you’d look my way.”

In the moment of your ramble, you hadn’t realized Loki rolling up his sleeves, using his nimble fingers to expose his veiny forearms. Once you had looked down you noticed his now exposed arms and your eyes met Loki’s again, the tension between you two becoming so thick it created a fog.

“Honestly, I have yet to meet someone as dense as you are. The verity of my liking for you I thought was terribly noticeable. Yet you still somehow ended up with my oaf of a brother. It’s quite amazing actually.”

You were astonished, to say the least. While Loki was sarcastic with you, he had confessed his liking for you. Not just an inkling for you but a liking for you in a romantic aspect. You were over the moon. You stood up not being able to contain your excitement. Walking towards the desk you stared in the mirror and composed yourself. Looking in the bottom right-hand side of the mirror you caught Loki’s blue eyes in the corner. He stood up and walked behind you, almost stalking you like a predator does prey.

“Why didn’t you say anything sooner?”

“Truly I thought you were happy darling, it wasn’t my business to interfere. Although, if I knew your deepest feelings sooner, I would’ve acted with more haste.”

Hearing “darling” come from his mouth so freely made butterflies fly hoops in your stomach. It did something to you that you had yet to describe outwardly. Turning around to face him, you hooked your fingers into the loops of his pants and pulled him closer to you, all so nonchalant.

“Shall we make up for lost time then, Loki?”

Lust dripped off your tongue when saying his name. Your tone penetrating through the fog of sexual tension and your eyes undressing him before the affair would begin. You heard his breath hitch while you looked back up at him, his blue eyes were now almost black. His breath heavy and waiting for the go-ahead to indulge in each other's desires. For a moment you saw his eyes flicker to portray something of uncertainty. Dare you say something of insecurity.

“Only if it’s true. I want you to want me in the purest form of carnal desire. Not as a pawn to veil what you want to erase from your mind.”

You moved your hands from his belt loops and traced your hands up his arms and planted them upon his neck, playing with the hair at the nape.

“ Don’t stop now, we’ve already started. I’m begging for you Loki. Always have, always will.”

With the quick reassurance, his lips found yours in a heartbeat. Intertwining with each other like flies in a spider’s web. It was intoxicating you couldn’t breathe properly and still you pressed yourself closer against his body. Your leg inching up on his side and grinding into his now hardening dick. Your hand that was resting at the nape of his neck, crawled its way into his hair and grabbed a fistful of it, fully giving into the moment of you and Loki getting lost in each other. Your fistful of his hair would soon be gone, being replaced with his hand buried in your mass of hair and craning your neck back to look up at him.

“I control things around here, Pet. Don’t forget your place.”

His voice seemed to drop in pitch. Your eyes glossed over fully with lust and the sheer need to be ruined. Dominance enveloped his being which instantly quelled the brat in you. The reality of sleeping with Loki made you dive headfirst into a subservient space. You wanted him, you needed him. In being completely lost in submissive thought you almost forgot who was in front of you. That was until he spoke again.

“Understand?”

He grabbed your hips and pressed your body against his, eliciting a slight whimper from you while nodding your head.

“Yes, Loki, I understand.”

Your voice was so meager, a complete 180 from your previous behavior in the night. You wanted as much of him as you could get so you shoved your lips against his again. A fiery kiss that made you dizzy and warm all at once. He moved with such fluidity, it made you feel like you were floating. His hands snaked down your back and his large hands landed on the cush platform of your ass. Squeezing, you moaned into his mouth and he picked you up. Turning around and laying you down on the bed. Your lips dislodged from one another and you felt empty and needy without him on you. He preyed over you, his stygian locks falling down his face.

“If you don’t want this, tell me now and we’ll never speak of this aga-”

“-Loki, there has been nothing I want more than you…I need you. Please.”

With that, Loki attacked your lips again, his hands wandering up your hoodie. You had forgotten you ditched your bra earlier until Loki’s hands found your pert nipples.

“Expecting this, weren’t you.”

You went to respond, but Loki rolled them between his fingers and a breathy moan was all you could muster up. Your hips rolled upwards, aching for some type of friction to your core that was more than soaked.

“Maybe I was. Have to be prepared for anything.”

To emphasize your tease you moved your hand down to the tent in his black pants and applied a bit of pressure. Loki sucked in air through his teeth and released a light laugh.

“Careful, Pet. Make sure you can hold up this front you’re putting on for me. Not sure you can handle it all.”

It was a challenge and a challenge you’d be more than happy to oblige in. Smirking up at him you began fiddling with his belt and undid his pants. Fishing your hand into them you lightly stroked his cock.

“Try me.”

The restraint in him broke and a sardonic smile adorned his face. You knew you were in for it and were entirely ready for everything he had to offer.

“Darling I hope you’re ready to feel what it’s like to be fucked by a real god.”

Your hoodie came off with one swift motion of his hand and they wandered over your body egregiously. He was taking his time with you and was determined on making you fall apart. You messed with his dress shirt buttons but couldn’t get them off fast enough for your liking. Catching onto your frustration Loki mocked you,

“Aw, look at you, Little one. Having some trouble there?”

You huffed, the attitude in you not wanting to fully give in just yet. You finally got the top button undone and slid your hand back down to his pants in a feeble attempt to take the heat off of you.

“Ah ah, it doesn’t work like that. Let me help you out since you’re in such need of relief.”

Finishing off the rest of his buttons, he pulled off his shirt and threw it somewhere in the room. Snaking his way down your body he undid your jeans button and peeled off the zipper with his teeth. Looking down at him you shuddered, excitement coursing through your veins.

“Easy now Y/N, I’ve barely even started.”

Removing your pants and underwear completely, you were now fully exposed to him and almost felt a bit of shyness envelop you. And of course, he noticed your legs attempt to cover yourself,

“Don’t hide from me darling, I want to see every bit of you crumble before me and show you how it feels to have your concupiscence satiated.”

You let your anxieties fade away once his tongue placed a swipe across your aching cunt. A moan louder than you expected emitted from your throat, catching you off guard and a chuckle to release from Loki. The vibrations only added to the pleasure you were already feeling. Losing yourself in the silver tongue of the god between your legs, your hand found itself in his stark black locks. Your moans became more frequent and you were beginning to feel the coil tighten in the bottom of your stomach, heat spreading to your core.

“Loki, please I-”

You hadn’t enough time to finish your sentence for Loki had wrapped his arms around your hips pulling you closer to him and making your back arch off the bed. Your moans becoming higher in pitch you could feel yourself coming to the precipice of your orgasm. Lifting his head for a moment he caught your eyes as you moved your head to look down at him.

“Cum for me Y/N, I can feel that you’re there.”

As Loki went back to devouring your pussy, you threw your head back into the pillow behind you, your orgasm finally washing over you. It was like none other you had before. Your legs caved in around his head and your body began to shake. Coming down from your high you reached for his neck to guide him up to your face, sharing a sloppy yet intimate kiss. The taste of yourself evident on his tongue and glistening on his chin. You felt the need to return the favor. Turning you two over you were now on top and you slid your way down to his basal regions. Undoing his pants you felt his hand upon your wrist.

“Not tonight, this is about you Y/N”

You shook your head, surprised by his actions. But, it wasn’t in your nature yet to fully comply. You went back to the hem of his slacks and went to pull them down. While Loki let you slip them off with ease, egging you on with a few hitched breaths, it wasn’t until you came back up and lined your mouth up with the head of his painfully erect cock that he took control again. You placed a kitten lick on the tip of his head, looking up at him while doing so. Loki then grabbed a fistful of hair, forcing you to stay stuck on his face and giving him full leverage of where he wanted you.

You crawled up his body because you had no other choice unless you wanted to continue to feel the slightly painful pull on your hair. Obeying his silent command you were brought face to face with him once again.

“You just don’t know how to listen, do you?” he chided

“Neither do you, but you don’t see me complaining.”

In an instant you were flipped over again, being towered by Loki’s body. Your breath quickened and you watched his blue eyes dilate once again. A lascivious smirk and energy cast across his body. Wanting nothing more than to feel him, you raked your hands down his back and dragged them across the sides of his ribs, only to let one of them begin stroking him again.

“Ah~ Y/N”

It was at this moment that the last bit of power you had completely dissipated. Loki’s hand moved with such a quickness that it took you a moment to realize that his hand was now wrapped around your throat. Sending your eyes to roll to the back of your head in absolute euphoria.

“Such a dumb little girl you are. Can’t follow simple instructions yet here you are begging, for me to ruin you. Fortunately, you’re pretty. Otherwise this would be quite pathetic of you.”

Your walls clenched around nothing. It was becoming painful to not have some form of release. You just kept being pushed towards your edge with his words bringing you closer every time he spoke. He was dragging it out on purpose, you could see the sadism glint behind his eyes. Strangled you spoke, tears of desperation falling lightly from the side of your eyes.

“L-Loki, please. I need you so bad. I can’t take it anymore, please.”

“You may need me, but do you deserve it is the question at hand.”

“I promise no more games, I’ll be good for you”

Removing his hand from your neck, he traveled them down the valley between your breasts bringing one hand to massage one while the other traveled further, landing on your soaking clit.

“All this, from a little degradation...I expected more from you, darling”

Jutting your hips toward the hand currently nestled between your folds you begged,

“Loki, please I need you inside me, I need to feel you.”

He finally lined himself up with your entrance, teasing you with just his cockhead, reveling in your juices. You couldn’t help but whine the teasing was getting to a point of something almost unbearable. Your voice breathy and hot you whimpered one last plea,

“Please~”

When he fully sheathed himself inside you, your head rolled back, moans coming out of you at a pace you couldn’t control. He made you feel so full. You had yet to feel something so reminiscent of rapture. It almost made you dizzy. When you looked up at him there was a softness in his eyes that contrasted his tone of dominance a moment ago. It caught you off guard, but you were soon brought back to reality when his head brushed against the inflamed spongy spot within.

“Oh! My god”

“Yes darling, I am your god-”

You couldn't help but roll your eyes at his comment. His cockiness always finding a way to rear its head. But in your moment of ecstasy, you didn’t think he’d be able to catch it. Wrong. In a second, his length left you, flipped you on your hands and knees, and slipped back into your drenching cunt. You settled into the position, propping your ass out even more so to give him better access. You heard him growl behind you, his hand coming across your ass check and without a doubt leaving a mark. You yelped, startled by the sudden action. His pace became unrelenting, pounding into you with a ferocity that would make angels weep. His hand slid down your back and rested and the bottom of your hairline, once again grabbing your hair and pulling you back so your back met his chest. Directing your head to the side to face his own, he got in your ear,

“Roll your eyes at me again and there will be more than just a simple punishment awaiting you.”

Your walls clenched around his cock, eliciting a loud groan to come from Loki. You couldn’t help it, the noises he made were beyond divine and each one had you one contraction away from being sent over the edge one more time.

“Fuck, Loki, you feel, so good~fuck, please.”

You weren’t quite sure what you were pleading for; it just felt right leaving your mouth.

“Yeah, you like it when I fuck you like this. Like the little whore you are.”

“Fuck! Loki, oh my god~”

You were in so much pleasure you couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down your face. It felt so good to have this instinctual release. Loki released his grip from your hair and pressed your face down into the mattress. Unable to truly control the noises that flew from your mouth, you were now whimpering in the mattress. The ravaging of your body sending you into a full-blown frenzy that you never wanted to be free from. Loki’s thrusts became more erratic and his moans and groans flew more freely from his mouth. Enjoying the moment of approaching his climax.

“You’re going to cum with me and I’m going to paint your pretty little insides my color. Wanna know why?”

You tried your best to be attentive, flipping your hair out from your face, you looked behind you facing the god above you.

“Why, L-Loki?”

Bringing his hand around your body to massage your clit, he gave you an answer that you weren’t prepared for.

“Because you’re mine now. There’s no leaving after this. You belong to me.”

With one final clench, you tightened around his cock. Both of you reaching your peak at the same time, milking him of his seed. Both of your breathing was heavy, bodies sticky with sweat. Loki pulled out of you, his seed spilling out of you like donut filling. You rolled over on your back as he did the same and there was a comfortable silence that filled the room.

With the distraction of reaching a climax now faded, you felt violently vulnerable under his gaze. You found your courage and looked back at him, his eyes still dilated but now with a different emotion swimming through them. Adoration? Wonder? Regret perhaps? Before you could let one more intrusive thought in Loki brought you out of your head.

“Stop worrying, you’ll make the wrinkle between your brow permanent.”

Your mouth opened slowly in disbelief, slightly offended by his comment but also at a loss for words for him figuring you out so quickly.

“Is it that easy to figure me out.” you chuckled.

“Yes, in fact, you wear every single emotion on your sleeve. You couldn’t hide what you feel even if you wanted to.”

You sighed, a smile stretching across your face as you exhaled.

“Can’t fool you, can I?”

“It’s quite hard to fool someone who is the master of fooling others. I’m the creator of the ins and outs of mischief.”

You shared a light laugh but you couldn’t ignore the overwhelming feeling of guilt and disquiet swirl in your head. Did he honestly feel for you, or did he perhaps just indulge your desires because he had wants of his own. You were in the perfect state to be taken advantage of, heartbroken and needing something else to fill the hole in your heart. You rolled on your side, your hand resting on his chest, beginning to draw feather-light patterns on his skin. Your hand created a path up to his neck, your fingers guiding his face forcing him to have nothing else to focus on but you. You needed to quell the noise in your head, you didn’t want this to eat you alive as well.

Worst he can say is no and we just move on Y/N. That’s all that can be done. Just ask him.

“I know you’re not one for sentiment, but did you mean what you said to me? About your liking for me.”

Moving a few coils of your hair away from your face he gazed into your eyes with an intensity you were unsure how to read.

“One thing about me darling is that through all my moments of deception, dealing with such intimacy is not something I take lightly. While not sentimental, I meant every word. I assure you of that. Now, dry your eyes.”

You hadn’t even realized the petal-soft tears slowly rolling down your cheek. You were too engrossed in Loki’s words of affirmation that you felt you left your physical body for a moment. Loki’s hand came up and wiped the tear streaks away from the bridge of your nose and under your eye. He made you feel at home. Warm and comforted even if he had his instances of sharpness, you didn’t want this moment to end.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”

You chuckled and the light was restored in your face.

“I don’t care what you say to me, you can read minds. Now stop reading mine, you’re freaking me out.”

Your laughs echoed through the room, any remnant of tension long gone from the space. You stared at the ceiling thinking about how the rest of your days would pan out. You felt the waters would be rocky but they would calm eventually. The thrashing of emotional waves turning into gentle swells. You felt at peace for the first time in a while. Pulling you once again from your thoughts, Loki’s voice filled your ears.

“Now, I am aware that we have done this quite backward, but would you care to join me for dinner tomorrow night? And do this the right way?”

Rolling back over onto his chest you smiled against him

“I’d love to”

Amiable silence fell over the room as your body began to rest. The beating of Loki’s heart created a rhythm that seemed tailored specifically to put you to sleep. Eyes growing heavy, you fell asleep, ultimately feeling secure within his arms.

18 Signs: My Husband Is An Asshole (How To Deal With It)

Don’t we all wish our relationship to be like in Disney movies? Sadly, this is the real world and human relationships are way more complex. This complexity leads to problems and thus an unhappy marriage. If you have searched this topic, it means that you are unhappy with your husband but still are still not ready to give up on your marriage.

Every spouse in an unhappy marriage wants to understand and then give a shot at fixing their partner’s behavior. However, they are unsure of where to start. We are here to rescue you at this critical juncture.

Stick till the end to recognize some common errors in your better half and how to fix these issues with minimum damage to both of you.

★ 18 Signs Your Husband Is An Asshole ★

It is crucial for women to know that which actions make their spouse a shitty husband. Most young wives are unsure as to what to react to what things to ignore. Here’s a list:

1. Always Complaining

Photo credit: brucechalmer.com

Excessive complaining over trivial issues is a bad sign. This may be done by undermining your efforts for your relationship or family. He may tell you of his expectations (and some unrealistic) of an ideal partner and how you don’t fit in that criteria no matter how hard you try.

Instead of showing gratitude towards you when you do chores, he finds a problem with most of your actions. Common examples of complaining can be showing disapproval of your parental techniques, food, your genuine friends, and other things.

The result is you feeling insufficient as a good wife.

2. Doesn’t Cooperate

Ask any successful married couple about their secret and they would rank cooperation as number one. One aspect of an asshole’s behavior is not agreeing to help around. Be it helping in keeping the house clean, managing kids, doing groceries, or anything else, they would expect you to handle everything alone while sitting idle all the time.

This is bad since a wife may overburnt herself to manage the household. An overburdened person is inefficient in executing things and mentally unstable too. Your circumstances make you feel like more of a slave or maid than an equal partner and making you angrier inside.

3. Makes You Feel Inferior

In an unhappy marriage, most partners have low opinions of each other. If your guy is making you feel insecure about your personality then this may be a tactic to vent out the frustration of his own shortcomings.

However, you need to distinguish between constructive and unconstructive criticism. Some ways of degrading you may be

1) Joking about you in public

2) Not introducing you to his acquaintances

3) Considering your achievements worthless

4) Body shaming, etc.

This unhealthy conversation will have an impact on your confidence. You will also feel weaker and vulnerable without him.

4. Does Not Accept Mistakes

If matters go down the hill, he is quick to put the whole blame on you and own none of it. In the opposite scenario, if you have achieved something, he wants to share in your victory too.

This shows that your husband lacks basic decency and gentlemanly behavior. It is one of the most explicit signs of an asshole behavior of a husband.

You can get a better idea by focusing on his words. If he blames his ex for the past breakup or taunts you for a decision that you both took together, then he is not a good choice for you.

In the future, this behavior is likely to persist. He will also put the whole burden of blunders on you.

5. Does Not Take Out Time

Giving each other some time from your busy schedule does wonder for your marriage. One of the signs of a bad partner is that he does not reserve any time for you.

All of it was spent with his friends, his own family, and his office. Even when he is with you, he is engaged in something else like scrolling through his cell phone, watching a movie, etc.

If a married couple spends a long time mentally distant from each other, the result includes misconceptions, hatred, anger, and sometimes divorce. Not taking out time also reduces your opportunity to talk, share your daily activities, fix each other problems, and have a deeper insight into each other’s minds.

You may feel that it is better to stay alone rather than living with someone who is leading his own separate life.

6. Does Not Put In Equal Effort

Photo credit: queerty.com

In a two-way relationship, both husband and wife need to sacrifice to save a relationship. If your husband has hardcore views and is not willing to mold his lifestyle and routine, then he has a serious issue

If you are a career-oriented female and want to pursue a profession, then your husband should extend his support. Without his support, it is very hard. So if you are doing your share of work, you can ask your husband to stay back and look for kids when you are at the office.

According to John Gottman: “A relationship is a contract of mutual nurturance. Relationships have to be a rich climate of positivity. For relationships to be strong, the ideal climate is one teeming with positive interactions“.

So to summarize, if you are upholding your husband in hard times he must also be your strength. A successful marriage requires conscious effort and the ability to put your relationship and family in priority.

7. Feels Insecure

It is not hard to spot insecurity inside your husband. The few common indicators are:

1) Asking you a lot of questions about your whereabouts

2) Not taking any constructive criticism

3) Making you feel guilty about not attending your calls

4) Need constant reassurance that you love him

Usually, there is not one prominent cause of insecurity but it can stem from past experiences and childhood trauma. However, if he is excessively insecure then he is being an asshole.

8. Repeating Past Arguments

Photo credit: pittsburghparent.com

The above issue may sound familiar to a lot of women. When your husband can not seem to win an argument, bringing over the past seems the only way for them to dominate.

At the same time, they will try to divert the course of the conversation to highlight your weak points of the past. It is done to hide his own genuine mistakes.

They cannot handle the truth about them which makes them use these baseless tactics. All in all, the point you are trying to make is never conveyed properly and the problem you have with your man still hangs in mid-air.

This makes you feel trapped and helpless in the vicinity of an asshole husband. Moreover, bringing up old issues blow up the conflict rather than settling it. Not doing so is critical for an asshole husband in order to fix things.

9. Brainwashing Kids Against You

Photo credit: myonrecord.com

Another sign of asshole behavior is corrupting the mind of a child against you. Most of the time, your husband may complain to your kids about how mom is lazy, not giving you time, compare you with other efficient moms, and much more.

Parental alienation is common in divorced couples where one parent makes false accuses about the other. In married pairs, the severity of the accusations may not be too high but still impactful.

If your husband is constantly telling your kid that mom is doesn’t care or love him, he or she will start rationalizing the father’s perspective.

10. No Intimacy

The quickest indication of a failing marriage is a lack of physical intimacy. Now there might be other reasons like stress which may be discouraging your husband from physical pursuit. So we can not solely blame the asshole behavior of your male counterpart for that.

Apart from that, emotional disconnection also paves way for a distant relationship. It makes sense that if two people are not able to enjoy each other’s company, there is very little probability that may connect during sexual activities.

Another root cause can be unresolved issues in your relationship. If both of you are angry at each other, then you will try to avoid each other for as long as possible.

11. Doesn’t Open Up

Photo credit: bolde.com

Most husbands don’t open up if they are doing something wrong and fear being caught. Secondly, they feel that their partner is not available to actively listen to them. Thirdly, they may hide to avoid hurting their wife.

Whatever the reason might be, if you have created an open environment for your spouse and are willing to listen to his woes yet he is reluctant to tell, then he is doing wrong.

Deliberately isolating your spouse and not updating her about your whereabouts translates to taking her for granted. As women, we can tell whether our man is keeping a secret or not, this leads to anxiety and overthinking as to what that secret can be.

Furthermore, remorse and guilt may surround you since you most likely think that you are not doing enough, even when you are. So secrets don’t bring good luck to your marriage but rather put a strain on it as trust is destroyed.

12. Lies And Excuses

Photo credit: medium.com

All women hate when their husbands lie or excuse themselves from family plans. Family should always be the number one priority of both partners. An asshole husband is never concerned about home and children.

If he is always finding ways to avoid occasions where the family can bond well, or if they always find excuses when meeting your friends and relatives but have time for others, you must start keeping an eye on him.

The effects of lying will eventually hit the foundations of your marriage. You will be inclined to think about reasons why he is lying and you start to feel less empathy for them. This is because it is hard to tell their real emotions or intentions behind their cover of lies.

Finally, you will feel less urge to be intimate with him and your compassion decreases rapidly. Mostly, the spouse who lies, get used to it and your husband may lie more often in your life. Lies and excuses become a free pass for your guy.

13. Not Showing interest

Photo credit: pinterest.ph

An uninterested spouse is worse than living alone. Husbands who are wrapped up in their own lives and don’t give due attention to their children and woman in his life, trigger feelings of being unloved and undesirable.

The main symptoms of such husbands are, talking only when they need something. They spend excessive time on a laptop/mobile phone, are not humorous, rarely smile or laugh with you, and appear gloomy and morose in your company.

When you try to talk with him, he tries to end up the conversation or change the subject. All of this makes you feel unimportant in their life. They are also very less concerned about your own needs and problems.

Learn how to flip this secret trigger in a man’s heart (a trigger so secret that 99% of women and men don’t even know it exists) he’ll feel a surge of desire for you that goes far beyond physical attraction… and makes him see you in a whole new light. Without even realizing it, he’ll start to picture you in his life and every other woman, past and present, will fade from his mind. Because when you tap into a man’s most primal, inner desire, you literally become his OBSESSION. CHECK THIS OUT NOW!

14. He Is Not Your Savior

Photo credit: healthline.com

Just as the reliability of a friend is known in your tough times, in the same way, the loyalty of your partner is fully exposed. A sustainable marriage lasts because both partners uphold each other through thick and thin.

An asshole husband will never be there for you when you are at your lowest. Such people will always remain unsatisfied and can’t keep a long-term relationship.

When you turn to talk with them about a rough day, they will reply back by saying how much worse was theirs.

You may get hurt when you realize that you have done your best to support your husband during the rough patch in his life and he is doing the complete opposite of you.

15. Not Enjoying Your Company

Photo credit: americanscientist.org

If your husband is bored with you it is less likely that he will spend most of the time with you. For a productive marriage, your spouse has to be your best friend meaning that you are amused by their company.

If your husband has minimized interactions with you and prefers being outdoors with friends or spend his time using a mobile phone or laptop, it is a red flag. This is another sign of a husband not fulfilling his duties.

This also means that both of you rarely make outing plans and most of the time you are stuck at home. All of your conversations either end up in an argument or an abrupt halt.

As a woman, you might feel misconceptions, resentment, and hatred generated inside you.

But as your interaction is very less with him, you have to bottle all your feelings and not covey them to him.

Even if you do try to calmly explain your inner thoughts, he will try to misinterpret your views and don’t give a damn about it.

16. Not Considering Your Opinion

A bad husband doesn’t care what your likes and dislikes are. He is going to act upon his own will most of the time. So if you like Chinese cuisine, or want to purchase an insurance plan for the family, they will most likely not listen to you.

If your husband is acting like this, then it is justified for you to feel lonely. We all know small endeavors demonstrate that we love and care for our partner.

In absence of that, you may also feel discouraged to do something good for him and the cycle continues.

The situation can become worse since your husband doesn’t compromise and both of your life choices differ from each other. Disagreement is one primary reason for divorce in couples.

17. Boasting about achievements

Photo credit: freepik.com

Narcissists have an overwhelmingly high opinion of themselves. Crushing the accomplishments of other individuals is in their blood. This is compiled with the fact that they are overly competitive and consider other talented people a threat to their position in society.

If your husband is one of them, then he would love to enjoy the spotlight.

He does this by hiding your achievements under the garb of his own accomplishments. So if you tell him of your promotion then instead of congratulating and encouraging you, he will boost how his profession is way more in demand or much more he earns than you.

In addition, you will feel that he is trying to regularly remind you of the necessities he is providing you for which you should be grateful. You don’t expect them to say “good job” to you and you will turn to other people for appreciation or encouragement.

18. Control You Fully

Photo credit: idropnews.com

One thing that is common amongst all bad husbands is their desire to control their wives. This way they tend to show their power over their better half.

In case you too have an authoritarian husband your life will feel suffocated. He will justify his behavior reality, they are shielding you from making informed choices with your life by undermining your sanity. This kind of asshole behavior follows a pattern.

This includes several questions about your

1)Friends,

2)Your whereabouts,

3)Blaming everything on you,

4)Emotionally manipulating you, and trying to intimidate you.

In uncivilized societies, men will even be physically abusive to restrain their counterparts. Keeping the same thing in mind, he’ll try gaslighting problems you share with them.

Ways On How To Deal With A Bad Husband

After you have realized that my husband is an asshole, fixing him will require dedication and patience. But do not worry you will make it! The key is not just changing him but also rectifying some of your own weak spots.

Have a deep conversation

Engaging in a meaningful talk is the best solution so far. This gives you an insight into each other’s minds. In this way, neither of the spouses is denied their rights.

You may think this is a stupid idea since most of your conversations end up in a fight. But it is not! In fact, you will be amazed to know most of the issues he has with you, you couldn’t even think about it.

Talk in a calm tone and let him speak freely so that he clears his stance in front of you. It is important not to bring past conflicts in your current talk as this quickly makes the conversation tenser.

During the conversation, you can ask about his expectations from you and outline your requirements too.

Emotional power

Fixing your marriage is not easy as a pie. You can get emotionally drained and sometimes frustrated too. Remember that resilience is the only way forward. If you lose your mind, then your intellectual capacity at that time is compromised temporarily. Things can escalate if you consciously don’t guard your actions.

Cunning husband will also be manipulative, which is why being mentally active will prevent you from being exploited. An overwhelmed mind can over evaluate situations, in response, your brain will start suggesting possible solutions.

Develop Emotional Intelligence

It turns out that happy couples are similar to other couples. They also have heated arguments but since they have higher emotional intelligence (EQ), they respectfully work out a solution without letting emotions destroy their bond. This, both of you should start working on improving your EQ.

Listening

It is a general principle that people open up more with active listeners. An active listener is the one who reserves time for you and when you speak they focus on you only.

If you want your children or husband to be more explicit in sharing their feelings, then you can apply this technique.

Listen To Understand And Not To Reply

The first step to understand your husband would be to listen to understand and not to just give him a reply. This will build trust and you can later on work upon it with your overly sensitive spouse.

This can make you stand in his shoes and then view the world. So the next time he speaks about a rough day at work give him your time.

✹ How To Deal With A Disrespectful Husband ✹

Build His Trust

Photo credit: positivepsychology.com

For a husband who is disrespectful with you, trust can be an antidote to that. When you show any interest in him or do something to cheer him up, this will allow intimacy to develop between you. That is how he will start trusting you instead of treating you like a tenant in his home.

There are a variety of ways to help you achieve that. One of them is apologizing for your actual mistakes. Secondly, never eat your words and fulfill your promises. Additionally, start prioritizing your relationship.

Lead By Example

It may seem impossible for your husband to reciprocate in a nice manner when you are doing the complete opposite. Also, you can not demand him to be respectful with you when you are also ignoring and hence disrespecting him mostly.

During a deadlock between you too, be the first to initiate a conversation, take care of his needs, and try avoiding things and habits that he dislikes.

It will result in you cultivating respect in his heart and he will feel ashamed when treating you poorly the next time. The cycle of poor communication in which you two are trapped gradually wears away and you start loving each other.

Reduce The Possibility Of An Argument

At times, a conflict is inevitable but diffusing it can be in your best interest. As a wife, you may know the trigger points of your husband. It may not be possible to fully eliminate the possibility of him getting triggered but the frequency will reduce.

What To Do During An Argument

Even if an argument has been initiated, avoid giving a strong reaction so that the two of you can move towards a resolution. Here’s a general rule of thumb: one person should stay quiet if the other is enraged.

Disagreement Is Okay

All of this doesn’t mean that you can’t disagree with your partner. You can! According to Dr. Laura VanderDrift, “Arguing — as long as it’s done without contempt, criticism, and defensiveness — can actually strengthen a romantic relationship”.

Moral: Tackle conflicts with respect and logic.

If your husband has a way of extracting new reasons to fight about it, then there is little to be done about it. It means he has completely lost interest in the relationship. If it persists for long, it is better to give up on the relationship.

Signs Of Disrespect In Marriage: When To Draw The Line

When so much is going on, it is confusing for a woman to understand when to draw a line. Drawing a line means that you realize that you have put up with a lot and it is actually time to react and warn your partner.

⇨ Taking You For Granted

Photo credit: aconsciousrethink.com

This does happen to a lot of women who are in the same situation. However, very few notice it. That is because they are hell-bent on pleasing their husband that they actually forget how poorly they are treated.

Ask yourself honestly as to why your partner is not complimenting you. Also question your brain whether the expectations he attaches with you are unrealistic or makes sense. This will help you gauge where you are standing.

What To Do In This Case?

One effective move is to stop doing him favors when he is not acknowledging them. Wait for him to ask you. Moreover, if he expects you to do certain chores you should also allocate him some of them like washing dirty clothes, mowing the lawn, feeding your pet, etc.

⇨ Rude All The Time

Photo credit: aconsciousrethink.com

Now if you have an ultra asshole husband, it seems impossible to make him happy. Sometimes it has absolutely nothing to do with your efforts for retaining your marriage. Spouses are overly critical because of their perfectionist ideologies.

However, you don’t deserve such treatment. If his attitude remains constant then stop placating after he gets upset the next time. You must show some rigidness in your body language to tell that this is not okay.

How Does It Affect You?

In such a scenario, you will experience an irritable or frustrated attitude all the time from his side. If you try doing something good for him, he judges your intention behind it and gives it a secondary meaning. This will drain you and take a toll on your confidence.

⇨ Character Assassination

This is the lowest that someone can stoop. Your husband will try accusing you of false actions just to win over an argument (which otherwise he is losing). If this sounds familiar, you too are being disrespected.

He may also use it to justify his ill temperament with you saying that you deserved it. You will be trapped since you can’t argue over his made-up theories about you. If you have kids, then he will easily use these fabrications to brainwash them against their own mother.

What Should You Do?

Of course, this will play havoc with your mental health but always remember not to doubt yourself since he himself knows the truth. Usually, people who don’t have a life riddled with troubles become judgmental very easily.

Don’t fight back to make to disapprove of his claims as this puts your dignity in a weak spot. The best strategy is to ask him for proof of his claims.

Signs Of A Bad Husband

➣ You Feel Suffocated

If you have a married life, you will feel it is the best time of your life and you would not want this phase to end ever. A prominent indicator of a bad partner is that you do not enjoy your life anymore.

There are numerous reasons to associate with this kind of feeling. But the biggest reason is a bad husband. It is probably because they restrict you from doing things that you love doing often. Sometimes you might feel a big bridge between you and your husband.

➣ Considering Break Up More Than Once

There are times you might imagine how life would be better without him. That is a very indicator of your unhappiness in your relationship. You might miss your life before marrying him and desire all the freedom of being single again. That is only the symptom of a bigger problem.

The first reason is that you have given all hopes of reconciliation with your partner. Secondly, you feel that the both of you can never be the same again as you were in the early blissful years of your marriage.

In addition, you will start to develop an interest in other men in your surrounding. You will compare how each of them is way better than your current choice.

➣ Lack of Communication

Photo credit: maximonline.com

Not talking to each other for several days in a row implies a deeper disconnection. However, it can also be due to an unresolved issue that causes mutual resentment in your hearts. Both of you are waiting for the other one to break the silence and apologize. You will feel as if you are wasting your time and energy to convince him.

An active conflict is not the cause of your silence all the time. It may be because both of you are going through some challenging times like financial woes, bad health, etc. When dealing with adversity all of our focus is concentrated on our problem so we forget to connect with each other.

Signs He Respects You

➽ Appreciating You Publicly

Photo credit: achievers.com

A good husband will always be proud of you and he will show admiration for you in public. He will consider your success as a win for his family and will celebrate it. When he achieves a milestone he will also give you some kind of credit.

Other Forms Of Appreciation

Other ways of appreciating you will be

He will introduce you to a maximum number of people in his social circle.

Your husband will also acknowledge your efforts even at home.

Gives you gifts. It does not has to be expensive gifts to uplift or show affection to you, a little “thank you” or ” thanks for having my back” and things like that.

➽ Always At Your Back

Photo credit: medium.com

This may seem a general or superficial phrase. The meaning however is very profound. When you commit a mistake, instead of him getting angry towards you, he will try fixing that.

Accepting you with all your flaws and still supporting you throughout is a quality of a nobleman. What is more that he will first listen to your side of the story before jumping to conclusions? It is this value in him that encourages you to let your heart out in front of him.

A supportive husband is also helpful in your daily life and he and he understands your needs without you even speaking to him. So if you are fatigued by a long day at work, he will notice that and will offer assistance without you asking for it.

➽ Helping with household

Photo credit: potentash.com

Do not associate household with just everyday chores, it is more than that. This holds very true if you are a woman who is a working mother. Balancing your work life with your personal life requires herculean effort. If you have your husband’s back in these matters, then he is definitely a keeper. As a person, you also require some space during which you can let your hair down.

What You Will Feel?

That is how your life won’t seem like hell. Couples who distribute work among each other end up having better understanding and coordination.

Of course, he may not be an expert in all kind of tasks and may even ruin but it doesn’t discourage as he will improve with time. Focus on the intention, not the end result.

Neutral Ways To Connect In An Unhappy Marriage

You might want to make your marriage upright but still don’t want to bend too much. It may be because you value your self-respect or you might be thinking “why always me?”. We present some neutral ways to rekindle the same spirit in your marriage without too much effort.

∎ Asking Each Other’s Opinion

Photo credit: edutopia.org

I know most of the time you like doing things your way but this strategy does help. Politely asking your husband’s opinion in some matters will make him feel worthy again. If he has a misconception that you do not care about his views, that will also be cleared through this. Simple ways of doing this include asking about which outfit to wear for a date night.

What Will It Do?

Even if his choice is not the one you have decided, listen to him once. By doing this, you will see that he will also involve you in his decision-making process. This also reduces the possibility of disagreements and possible future conflicts.

Since disagreements also fuel divorce, you are investing in long-term togetherness. An underrated benefit of this is that you will enlighten yourself in the process. When we ask someone else’s opinion they share their knowledge or experience that can help us in the long run.

∎ Go on a vacation

Photo credit: sites.psu.edu

When other things don’t seem to work just go out on a vacation. Leaving your home and spending time in a different location brings a positive change in your mood.

It helps you escape your usual surroundings which have bored you and you make new memories with each other. When you go out on exploration, all your focus and energy is spent on enjoying your new landscape.

For a while, you forget to fight and notice each other’s setbacks. Giving yourself a break gives you temporary relief from all kinds of responsibilities and you get substantial time to spend with each other. This boosts your love and understanding for each other.

∎ Make a list of problems

Human beings are complex. It is a myth that we understand ourselves fully. We might not be able to pinpoint the correct reason for our failure in marriage. When I say list down, I don’t mean taking mental notes. It refers to actually numbering all the lacking you feel in your partner’s conduct. To be fair, you can ask him to make a similar about you too.

Trust me, diagnosing the underlying issue becomes a lot easier. When preparing a list, be moderate. Do not make a list that includes all kinds of petty things like “you don’t close the toilet seat” etc. Doing this diverts you from more real problems that require muscle to solve.

Afterward, both of you can read each other’s lists with a cool head. You can engage in a productive discussion afterward in which your husband tells you the reason why does certain things. Take some responsibility for your actions too and move towards a mutual resolution.

Most Important Things In A Marriage

Every married person requires criteria to gauge their married life. It is a universal truth that no person and hence no pair is perfect. So you might expect some loopholes in your marriage like other normal people.

However, you should know what to ignore and what to take seriously. These ring true if you are starting a new relationship and looking for someone better than your first husband. Following are the elements of priority in a relationship.

Building Openness

The whole point of tying a knot is because you need a soulmate to share your life with. As a wife, you might feel insecure when your husband is secretive about most things. He has his own reason for doing so. He probably does not want to trouble you. Or he thinks that you are of no help in his current crisis, so telling you is futile.

Your husband might feel the same if you don’t open up. The solution lies in the fact that you have to show your availability to each other. It does not matter if you can’t help him or he can’t help you in a particular matter but at least sharing your troubles can help de-stress. One way of encouraging open talk is to stop slicing your partner’s argument.

Generally, each pair has one partner which is very articulate and hence can win the war of words. Even if you are that partner, do not feel arrogant enough to interrupt others’ speech.

Earning Respect

Respect is hard to earn and takes a long time to establish in a person’s heart. The factor of integrity is the prime component of respect. Married couples who are honest with their relationship, rely more on each other. That is how they value their mate since a trustworthy person is hard to find in today’s world. Giving each other space is equally vital but sometimes neglected.

You can not impose yourself on someone 24/7. If you do, a point reaches where your existence does not matter. A fine soulmate also does not backbite about their significant other. Keeping things between you two prevents other people to intervene and possibly harm your relation.

Another dimension of a respectful existence is accepting your differences. You can’t find someone who is exactly like you nor this is ideal. Since that would mean marrying your own self. So be grateful for whatever you have.

Intimacy

A marriage that lacks intimacy barely survives. It is shown that sexual intimacy is can help with your struggling relationship and keep you bonded together despite your differences. A strong physical connection helps both partners navigate through stressful years and support each other.

This also improves the mental health of both partners so that they can excel in other areas like parenting, profession, and social behavior. Your self-worth also gets a boost when you engage with each other, as you feel that you are desired by someone.

Emotional Intimacy

Another aspect of intimacy is emotional intimacy. As much as physical intimacy is essential, so is emotional intimacy. Both the partners should emotionally support each other. In case one of them is going through some rough time, the other has their back and province the emotional support needed in such situations.

Of course, the frequency varies with each couple. Generally, men demand more sex than women on average. In this case, a compromise has to reach between both.

Ways To Make Him Realize Your Worth

❖ Saying No

You are not a robot that is allocated to assist your husband all the time. If he treats you like nobody, it shows that you do not take a firm stance for yourself. You easily comply according to his wishes which is why he believes you are a subunit. Learn to say no when you mean it.

It is better to refuse at the beginning rather than saying yes and then regretting later on. Interestingly, when you occasionally say no to a man, you are doing him good. How? In this way, you are training him to be self-reliant and not dependent upon you for every trivial thing. Lastly, refusing a task or a demand gives you enough time and space for yourself.

❖ Show Slight Detachment

Find yourself a job, go out with friends, or pursue a hobby. Through this, he will miss your company and realize your worth. It will also show him that you are not completely dependent on him. You can live even without his support but choose not to do so.

❖ Caring For Yourself

Pamper yourself so that you focus on your own strengths rather than lamenting about his ignorance. Book a spa appointment, go shopping, or learn a skill that you are passionate about. This will also encourage your husband to do the same. If he has some love left for you, caring for yourself will entice him to reciprocate.

What Is A Toxic Husband?

Easily Judgmental

An example of toxicity is that your guy doesn’t show interest in your side of the story. He is quicker to form judgments about you that are mostly negative. He judges you for the very basic acts that you do and makes you feel insecure about it. Being doubtful about you is the other step of this.

Physical Or Verbal Abuse

This 21st century and physical abuse are not acceptable. If it is happening then there is no reason for you to live with him and might need police intervention if you are helpless. Verbal use may be more subtle and you might miss out on identifying it. This includes disrespecting you in public or body shaming you.

Ignoring Your Needs

Being her wife, if he is not catering to your needs and putting himself first, then that is not okay. Throughout a marriage, a wife needs emotional and physical support through her maternal journey and afterward. If you are managing the home, then you must make sure that he is taking care of outdoor activities or vice versa.

Also, women globally have twice the chances of developing anxiety disorder (linking panic attacks) than men. A pragmatic and empathetic approach is required on your husband’s part if you are experiencing this.

Why Are Wives Unhappy In Marriage?

Overthinking

Women sometimes interpret the situation as more grave than it is. They will try to read between the lines of their husband’s words and develop negative thoughts. Give your brain a rest and try not to be too critical of your man’s actions and words. Not doing so will only make him avoid your presence.

Lack Of Affection

Let’s pop a myth first. Married couples think that their significant other understands them fully. Which is why they don’t feel the need to express love. That is false! Husbands need to regularly express their affection towards them since they do not mind readers.

No fun

Boredom inversely affects mood. A life that lacks laughter, fun, and adventure is dreadful for a woman. Even if a male is respectful and caring but boring on the other hand, females aren’t attracted to such men. So your wife may not have a very high opinion of you if you like staying at home all the time and have a solemn attitude.

What Is An Unhealthy Marriage?

☒ Mutual Resentment

If both partners are upset with each other, it is a sign that they are not getting along. The resentment is two-sided and neither of them wants to live with each other anymore. You might feel the genuine disconnection that separates you two.

☒ Bad Mental Health

If the marriage is taking a toll on your mental health, it is certainly an unhealthy one. Mental health is very important in order to realize ones potential and excel. If you feel like you are not at peace when around your husband, this is a sign that it will adversely impact your mental health.

☒ Affecting Other Aspects Of Life

If your marriage is affecting other aspects of your life, then you can call it an unhealthy one. Suppose your husband is restricting you from calling over your friends for your birthday party. Or the stress from your relationship with your husband is affecting your performance at the workplace. As soon as you notice these signs, start working on how to find a solution to them at the earliest.

☒ You Are Intimidated By Your Husband

Marriage is a safe space. It binds you to a person that will give you a sense of protection and shelter from your worldly problems. However, if the reality is completely opposite i.e. you are intimidated by the very person you were supposed to feel safe with, then the marriage can be labeled as an unhealthy one.

☒ You feel Like Being Controlled

Nothing is more important for a person than their freedom. Even if you are married to someone, you still are an independent person with a life of your own. If you feel like your personal decisions are no more your or your rights are being encroached upon, you are in an unhealthy marriage. It is better to be living alone than being controlled by someone else.

☒ You Values Do Not Correspond

Values are the basic principles according to which a person lives. It is common that the values of husband and wife are different. However, if they are a world apart and completely opposite, it might create problems. These problems will then result in an unhealthy marriage where important decisions cannot be taken unanimously.

What Do You Do When Your Husband Never Admits He’s Wrong?

◈ Present Your View Calmly

The first logical step is to solve the matter amongst yourself. Your man will turn a deaf ear towards your lamentation if you are not communicating properly. In a neutral and polite manner, present your stance to him so that he listens to you. In a fight of words, he will refuse to accept his wrongdoing and will continue holding you as the culprit.

◈ Consulting A Therapist
