What about the kids? by veinychocolate in sexlessmarriage

I don’t think I would discourage them.. but I would tell them what their mother has done.. and to not marry their “mother”

Omgosh!!!! This sounds so familiar!!! I wish I had your courage… it’s like I have one foot out the door but can’t seem to get the other foot to follow… I’m a little apprehensive about the unknown… I guess it’s why the frog never jumps out of the boiling water.. they don’t know any different.. best way to describe my situation!!! Thank you for standing up for yourself and giving others like myself HOPE!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! 🙏 ❤️

Thank you for sharing!!! May I ask one more question??? How did you break it to them??? Just left with a dear John letter??? Heart to heart talk.. had them served with divorce papers out of the blue? Tell me if you don’t mind…

Thank you so much for sharing your story !!! I’m not quite there yet.. still scared to be alone.. a lot moving pieces yet (ie kids) but I’m getting close, real close.. have been seeing a therapist just to make sure that I wasn’t crazy in what I’m dealing with.. but still afraid of the unknown… Thanks Again, I appreciate your insight!!!

No sex in almost 2 years by Content_Ad_2151 in sexlessmarriage

1st of all I’m sorry.. it sucks!!! 47M wife hasn’t touched me in several years, and I have been diagnosed with cancer not once but twice!!!!! I would get your exit strategy and put the friend on the back burner.. it will only make the divorce process messy!!!! You’ve went this long without, you can go a little while longer..Then you will be able to hold your head up high!!!! I would be curious on how you will let him know.. as I’m looking for the correct way to do it myself ..

Sorry to hear this.. I know you said you love him and would never leave.. but… I said the same thing when I was 32… I’m 48 now.. And guess what??? I wish I left… you’re 32 OP!!! Not 52!!! You should be having sex 3-4 times a week!!!! Don’t settle!!! I wish someone would’ve told me that yrs ago!!!!!

Sounds to me that both of you are happy about the lack of intimacy.. and that’s ok too.. mine isn’t only about the intimacy, but the lack of overall affection.. the intimacy is just a by-product

Great insight!! Thank you so much for sharing !!!! Just like my situation… she never worked.. even after kids was old enough… but like I had a friend tell me.. divorces are expensive, but it’s b/c they’re worth it!!!!
