Hello
It is good to know that the issues are settled now . It is clear that your problem has a close link with your interpersonal problems . Yes, you can do a lot to improve your sex life . The very fact that you have sought for help to improve your sex life is enough indication of your strong desire to set your house in order. I can give a few suggestions-
1- Honest and regular communication with your husband is a must . It is normal to feel a little fidgety about possible recurrence of issues in future so first of all, both of you should assure the other that you will move forward in life with a clean slate.
2- Before you think of sex life, you must start spending time together, explore each other's likes and dislikes.
3- First try and feel comfortable in each other company , enjoy small things and share your XXXXXXX .
4- You may not feel like having sex for quite some time. Don't have sex just because he is disturbed. Enjoy intimacy, have a dinner at your favourite restaurant , go to some movie or perform anything which can be enjoyable to you as a couple.
5- Couple sex therapy is the best option for you . You can get it online as well. It is available on www.vivanhospital.com .
