Next: How to change a flat tire when I don't have a spare?
Hi. I’m new to this concept of communication. But I know I can’t be the only one out here who’s suffering in silence. I’m in a sexless marriage and have been for about 14yrs. I know people my think I’m stupid for staying but I love my husband and we have one daughter. We’re co-parenting mainly and are practically roommates. I still have sexual desires to be with him but he doesn’t and isn’t opened to try anything to satisfy me. I’m frustrated, sad, lonely, and depressed. Can anyone else relate?
Odd choice in username. But you do you.
I cannot understand how two people would stay in a sexless marriage, but I wish you the best. If I were in a marriage without sex I would get out of it. But I understand why you would love someone no matter what. Maybe seek that part of the relationship elsewhere. Make the roommate and co-parent part of your life official. Sleep in different rooms, go see other people, but still love each other and your children. Its like an "almost" divorce. It sounds like you are already mostly there. I feel for you and wish you the best in love and life. And seriously, change that name, its terrible.
IF the other partner is unwilling to do anything to fix it you either leave or take care of things yourself. I vehemently do not believe in open marriages under any circumstances. I think open relationships are a degenerate farce.
So if a man doesn't want sex he must be cheating, gay, a bad husband, must be dumped, etc.
If a woman doesn't want sex which is more common then she must be respected and husband better jump through fiery hopes to see if she gives him permission to have sex.
I can't really understand how I (and a handful of others) seem to be the only one on this site who recognizes creative writing when they see it.
I think there are far more than you realize but most people simply don't reply. I thought it was against the rules here to suggest that a drive by poster/one hit wonder was trolling, that's why I rarely if ever respond to any of them.
