Thank you, but I have to tell you that I would never tolerate a sexless marriage for any other reason, and if something happened to me and I couldn't meet my SOs needs, and she still wanted to be with me, I would encourage her to get her needs met elsewhere.
I am so glad to be getting a valid male opinion in our age group. I have a friend in his mid 40's. HE has had this problem for years, so he says. No health issue, it is like mental torture. I watch his self esteem be effected, and his ability to be confident sometimes. I am not sure why he won't seek counseling or help or work with his spouse, but it just makes me sad for him, and now I see why some men (and women if the roles are reversed) cheat. Just an interesting topic for me, and I thank you for taking the time to share your answers!
Sometimes it is kids, busy schedules, stuff like that, that limits opportunity for sex. Busy schedules also make people tired. It can be a case where it is no ones fault, and both partners understand this.
I feel for you, I asked this question because I have a male friend in one, and I believe he has married his best friend, but down deep he feels inadequate, and questions that part of his man hood...
Yeah, it was pretty devastating for a long time. I had to do a lot to work on feeling okay about myself. There's still a huge void in my life... but I don't feel as bad about myself as I once did.
So are you saying if it continues to be that way when the children are out, you would entertain leaving the marriage, or cheating or what? I am just curious on the topic because of knowing a few people that are involved in these types of marriages, and I believe especially when the woman does not have or withholds sex, it makes the husbands more prone to cheat... (women too by the way)

I've done it, but only due to health reasons.
I can say that is one reason I believe people should not go out and leave their partner... You are a Stand UP Person!!!

I'm in one.
No, i'm not happy about it, at all.

Sec is totally useless. Its ony purpose is reproduction, ten times a year is a lot of it anyways.
Just cheat on your fucking POS husband. If he doesn't serve you like a man should serve a woman... he deserves to be homeless
Class Act that you are...
Still much better than your fucking husband... I'm going to beat him up
Yes, for the children.

I think I'll take the 5th on that one.
I'm in that boat and I am OK with it.
Like, isn't that most marriages?
Pretty much , yes !!
How could some one not want you
Awe, thank you, this was a question unrelated to me personally.
Oh sorry my mistake
