I’ve (39f) have been with my husband (44m) for 16 years and married for 5. We get along great and I feel like I married my best friend. We make fun and goof around a lot but are always respectful.
One day I asked “am I the best sex you’ve ever had?” In a funny rhetorical way. It was obvious I was being funny and not looking for answer. He was dead serious and said “ no I had better sex before I met you”. Okay…I was kinda shocked and tried to give him an out. “Oh like when you were young and first started having sex so nothing could compare to the excitement?” Nope. He had better sex with someone right before we got together. When pressed he said it was “just different”.
I was shocked. I felt like he was intentionally hurting my feeling and making me feel like shit. He never in 16 years has done anything like this. It really rocked me and I waited a couple days to really confront. He said I should have never asked the question if I didn’t want the truth. I was joking. He knows me so well he knew I was joking. But now I’m not sure. I still think he’s an ass but AITA for asking him if I was the best sex ever and then getting mad when he answered honestly? I did ask the question but who the fuck tells their wife that?
