Thank you DDWHW.
As was mentioned by a previous poster, many readers are here because they want to learn from the real experiences of other couples.
But what that previous poster did not mention is that people can learn both what to do and what NOT to do. The one attribute that separates the two is that when both partners enjoy their dynamic, it's likely a lesson of what to do. But when one of the partners does not enjoy their dynamic, it is likely a lesson of what not to do.
You've made it very clear in many of your posts that you are enjoying this. However, your partner has not. Over 40 pages and his posts lack positivity of happiness, enjoyment, etc... And even when he has responded to questions of "are you happy, are you enjoying this, etc..." his responses have been "whoa is me, but at least she is happy".
That being said, he is not obligated to share anything. He doesn't have to share his feelings at all. But before you vilify the commenters here, keep in mind that they would really like to know if your story is a something that they can learn from as something to do, or not to do. And with your partner keeping that absent from this audience, they are left to question, except the ones that are projecting their own extreme emotional masochism on him to just assume that of course he is loving it. That doesn't mean the ones that are left to question have to call you names and draw pictures of an inevitable future. But people make assumptions, good and bad, when they are left to assume.
I hope both of you are happy and full of enjoyment!
