Ok here's some back story, we've been together for about 9 years. For the first 3-4 years we were incredibly intimate, always having sex. Then I gained some weight and he didn't touch me for over 18 months. He said some mean things heated in arguments such as we stopped having sex because I got fat, that he hates going down on me, that it's because I always cause fights etc. He's apologized since and we've tried to get back to a normal sex life. But I no longer want him to touch me or be intimate because all that goes through my head is that he's judging me. He tells me I'm sexy etc and I find myself wearing shapeless clothes so he can't look at my body to judge it. I don't know how to communicate this to him. Help

You can‘t move past this without working through it. I‘d recommend couples therapy. What he did and said was very hurtful, I don‘t think this is very easy to resolve. Don‘t force physical intimacy if you haven‘t repaired the emotional intimacy.
