Recently my husband and I attended a couples’

I am a married woman, and recently my husband and I attended a couples’ night event. It was supposed to be a fun, interactive gathering where couples talked openly about different aspects of marriage. People were asking questions, sharing experiences, and laughing together. Everything was going smoothly. During the discussion, a thought came to my mind, and I stood up to ask a general question. I said, How can a woman politely tell her husband if he is not satisfying her in bed? I meant it as a general topic for the room, not as something about my own marriage. But after the program, my husband became very upset.

He asked me if I was trying to say that he does not satisfy me. I told him no, that it was just a random question because people were contributing different things. But he didn’t believe me. He felt embarrassed and insulted Since then, he has been viewing me differently and saying things like, If I don’t satisfy you, then that means our marriage is over. I am hurt and confused because that was never my intention. I love my husband, and I do not want my marriage to break because of one innocent question. I have apologized and tried to explain myself, but he is still taking it to heart. Now he keeps thinking and overthinking, and the atmosphere at home has become tense.
