TITLE: I[41F] hate my husband's [43M] foot fetish, but I've been playing along for years. Can I back out of it now?
POST: So my husband has a very particular foot fetish. He likes injured feet/dirty feet. If I step on something or go barefoot on pavement or for long periods of time, it's a huge turn-on for him. 

We've been together for 20 years, and I used to kind of get off on it, too. But most times I just kind of feel like a non-descript body attached to a pair of feet. I hate that the fetish is a requirement for him to be turned on -- that's the basic definition of a fetish, right? When he goes to rub my feet or stares at them, I feel more turned off than anything.

This is such a part of his sexuality that I'm terrified of being honest with him about it. But it's so uncomfortable for me that I'd rather not have sex at all.
TL;DR: husband has a fetish for injured feet and obviously looks at them. I've been playing along for years about it. Can I back out of it 10 years from now?
