Getting my mono back. Going through some tough times with my partner and due to this I haven't wanted to be intimate with him. He is working hard to right his wrongs and get help for his problem but I'm still freaking out at being intimate. How do others get past the self confidence and low self esteem issues to be ok with being intimate. I know it's driving him nuts and I've asked that he not pressure me about it. I don't know what to do.

Perhaps you have also put to much pressure on yourself? Take your time, spend quality fun time with each other, have a couple of drinks and relax! You need laughter and fun! Good luck and well done for working on your relationship
Have fun and talk, laugh and joke with him. Women often need that extra "foreplay" to relax and actually want to start getting it on. I didn't exactly feel like having relations with my partner for ages and would give in every now and then for him, he never pressured me or made me feel bad about it, now given how understanding he is and how much we have been having other fun without the idea of sex behind it, I was able to easily get in the mood and now we seem to be getting back into it instead of me forcing myself and faking wanting it.
