Today, I married a wonderful man. Even though both of us were no longer virgins, we decided to wait until marriage to sleep together. He just told me I was the worst he's ever had. FML

OK, I know views on abstinence before marriage varies, but to my mind, YDI huge. If neither of you were virgins, and you were planning on getting married, the idea that you wouldn't have sex just strikes me as bizarre, with this being one of the main reasons. It's going to be a long fifty years.

ha ha ha if your sister-in-law is very angry when she gets back from the honeymoon then she and OP might be the same person!! :)

Well, you deserve it for sleeping around before marriage.

Practice makes perfect OP. Ask him what he wants from you and do your best to perform, once you got it down he can return the favor. Good sex is rarely effortless. And why would you marry someone who you aren't sure if your compatible with sexually? I would get it if you where preserving your virginity, but you weren't, and even then it's a bad idea. You could have just made a huge mistake and ended your first marriage in divorce.

I'm not going to run around saying "you deserve it" but I tell people this all the time that "want to wait" and as 2 people who aren't virgins you should know this already: Sexual Chemistry is a part of a healthy relationship. It's not about animalistic desire or using each other for your bodies or not caring about personality but the fact that sex has everything to do with our evolution and enjoying it with your significant other is an important part of a healthy relationship. 72 is right - This could in theory end your marriage down the road and it's not that your guy is "an asshole" because he wants sex but the fact that sexual desires are a basic human need that won't be fulfilled - Maybe you'll both be ok with it and work through it but the bigger chance is that you'll both be miserable as you cannot please each other in all avenues and either deal with it and end it or find other means [cheating] to fulfill them.

I get what you're saying, sex is definitely important in a healthy relationship, but just because the first time was bad doesn't mean it has to always be bad. Communication is key and they can coach each other, teach each other what they like and what they don't. It shouldn't ruin a relationship if everything else is great. And the husband shouldn't have been so harsh. :/

Do we really know if the husband was harsh or not? I mean come on, really - We have an author who is forced into writing a short blurb in under a paragraph which means that the OP has to paraphrase everything. Coupled with the fact that had she said "My new husband kindly detailed to me why I wasn't the best he's had and that we should work on it together" it probably wouldn't have been posted at all. If this guy is as wonderful as the OP claims I highly doubt he'd come out and just say "Ya you're terrible." Yes, communication is key and I wish them the best in finding what's right, but, this problem would have been avoided all together had they just done the deed earlier, it's not like either of them were virgins to begin with. That way had they realized that they had no sexual chemistry [after communicating] they wouldn't feel stuck together.

Sexual compatibility is essential in a healthy marriage. I've read reports by psychologists/psychiatrists actually encouraging premarital sex. However, the fact that you opted to not have sex with your spouse before marriage is not what bothers me. That's a personal choice and doesn't hurt anyone else, so do what you want to. What bothers me is that he thought it was okay to say that after your first time together. Sounds like you picked a winner. If he insults your ability at such an intimate "skill" (particularly one that will almost definitely improve, on both of your parts, over time), what else will he insult you about?

She might have pleased whoever she was with in the past. Every person is different, maybe he just likes other things. Communication is key, just like it always is in these FMLs.

Even if you think it, you don't say it. So much of sex takes part in the mind, things like that can damage it for years. It's hard to relax and enjoy if you're feeling judged. First times can always be a bit awkward, it takes time to learn what turns people on. And even when you know someone really well, and have had amazing sex together, sometimes it will be just ok. Anybody who thinks differently has watched way too many pornos. You need to be firm, tell him to feel free to say I really like it when you..., or do that, etc, etc, but put downs will not be tolerated.

It might be helpful to do some reading on what guys like.

I wouldn't call what he did "communication" as much as "jackassery." It's one thing to say, "How about we try this next time?" It's another to say "You're the worst I ever had."

I'm guessing it's a simple case of miscommunication. Probably as you climbed into bed on your wedding night you muttered to yourself "I hope he has a big dick" and he misheard it as "I hope he is a big dick".

Wonderful man? He sounds like an A** hole!!
