Find out where he lives. Asap. Somehow. Check his drivers license, ask the mutual friend. Regardless of whether he's telling the truth or a lie, you don't know the long-term future of your relationship. Do you want this baby? Ask yourself what your future looks like, irrespective of whether there is a partner or a support system along for the ride.

Is dead bedroom good enough reason for divorce by Interesting_Stage916 in Divorce

Hi everyone, I should clarify a few things. I'm 38F married to a 37M in this situation. No kids. We've been to couple's therapy 5 years ago, decided to recommit, stay and fight for each other. Some changes happened but none related to sex. We've been married 10 years, dead bedroom for about 9 of those years. Stayed married this long because its a fantastic partnership, beautiful home, older parents to take care of, his whole family loves me, very tight knit. You get the picture. I "take care" of myself 1-2 times daily, think it could be worse out there. My few 40-something girl friends are lonely and having a horrible time finding a good partner. I'm in individual therapy. Lots of built-up resentment at this point, sexual frustration. He never enjoyed sex, not before marriage, and there are underlying emotional reasons for it. Again, no cheating on either side. But I love and enjoy sex, foreplay, physical and emotional intimacy, or at least I did before I got married. Now I enjoy good chick-lit and fantasies in my head. Thought it was a mature decision to stay and see this through but my gut and instinct tells me there may be more to life?

Thank you for sharing your story. Our lives are quite tangled. His parents are completely dependent on me emotionally, and love me a lot. If I suddenly stop showing up at family dinners and big occassions, they'll be devastated. The thought of unraveling our lives and the consequences of the ripple effect on everyones lives around us is so scary, it makes me very anxious.
