My husband (27M) and I (30M) have had a rough year so far. He’s always kept his mental health under control but things took a turn around the new year and he’s been in and out of the psych ward ever since then. Naturally between all the change and stress our sex life has cooled off. Most of our focus has been on spending time together in nature or otherwise and just trying to bring him back to center and get back in sync as a couple.

This morning we were in bed and things started to heat up for the first time ever since he was discharged following a difficult weeks-long inpatient stay. I got on top of him and started kissing away while pinning his arms down. While pinning his arms down I guess I got carried away because I just… said to him “You escaped the ward just to get restrained again, huh?” I guess I thought it sounded hot in the heat of the moment. But he suddenly lost his composure and looked like he was about to cry.

We talked it out and he said that getting physically restrained in the psych ward while he was losing grip on reality was one of the most traumatic experiences of his life. He is still shaken up from my comment which is not a good sign—acute stress could set off another episode. Yep, bad call on my part…

TLDR: Inadvertently killed the mood because I thought it would be hot to drop a “spicy” line during sex that played off my husband’s trauma.
