    Why is sex with my husband so incredibly painful?

    Hello,
    - I have had 1 sexual partner (my husband)
    - I had sex @ 21 years but it took 8 months before he could penetrate
    - 8 years later the problem persists, I hold back my tears, take painkillers in secret, have warm baths prior & cant walk properly after
    - pain begins on penetration, I should buy shares in a lubricant company because we go through copious amounts
    - I schedule sex regularly because I have a genuine desire to please my husband no matter the cost but lately he doesn't want to have sex because he hates that he hurts me and so he would rather watch a movie together or go for a walk. Its sweet but it makes me feel inadequate

    Additional info:
    - I've had endometriosis since I was 14
    - I also have an adhesion/bridge but its small and only covers my urethra
    - I had a severe accident at 8 when i fell a few meters onto a metal pole which struck in between my legs. I was in hospital for weeks but don't know the details of my injuries as my parents are dead and I was just a child
