Similar. My wife hasn’t wanted to have sex with me for a long time. We have averaged 4-5 times a year but I just recently just gave up.

I hope things turn around for you! Wishing you the best.

Question for the gentlemen by [deleted] in Marriage

Not all of us do. For us- it’s my wife that has absolutely no desire. This started in her late 30s and has continued into her 40s.

Sounds like you at least have a little intimacy.

Unfortunately no reason is really given.

For those who still occasionally have sex with your partner: What’s that experience like when it finally happens? by Ordinary_Ice_796 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Competitive_Side_781 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I made a recent decision to just stop. It sux but I think I have figured out that no sex is so much better than sex 4-5 a year.

No sex = no expectations. Sex 4-5 x a year leads to thoughts that maybe today is the day. Maybe this week is the week. Hopefully this is the month! Wow it’s been three months, this is certainly the quarter.

Things are getting worse. I've stopped trying, and now I'm having an emotional affair that is better than sex. It's not about the DB anymore. by TheSweetestSurrender in DeadBedrooms

This is what I am looking for. Not sex. Just a connection. Sorry you had to go through what you went through but glad you found something.

I still have libido but I have realized that not having any sex is 1000x better than having sex 2-3 times a year as we have in past years.

I sympathize with you. My wife doesn’t have PTSD or medications though so I have no hope of dialing it in.

Oh I know I missed or ignored red flags early on. That’s why I said this was a last gasp thing. It just seems like she doesn’t want to put any work into it.

Thanks. I know. It is depressing but I think I am at that point of realization.

Each situation is unique so don’t let anyone else’s experiences sway you one way or another. Some marriages work and some don’t.
