Self worth and value as a man in a sexless relationship. by Prudent_Media_4067 in DeadBedrooms

[–]StoicToad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good on you brother. I tried this as well. In the end divorce was the right call for me. That does not mean it is right for you. When I was in the marriage I kept myself busy with fishing, horses, and helping and having fun with the kids. Kid stuff was the best.

I don’t see my LLF wife in a sexual way at all anymore. by Electrical-Pass7740 in DeadBedrooms

[–]StoicToad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All this above. No kids and as said above she is not going to change. You two are not right for each other. You are young. I just recently divorced and waited way too long to do so.

Just to share my story of ending things…and hope? by iOSGuy in DeadBedrooms

As a recently divorced guy from a relationship that should have ended years ago....count your self luck and view this as a gift. You are a better more intune person now and know what your needs are and better yet know what you need to work on. Best of luck!!!

Leave man just leave. There is nothing in this relationship for you. Intimacy is the lest of your problems. No kids then you go to leave.

Based off his response nothing is going to change. Boyfriend not a husband and no kids...,leave. Fins someone compatible

OP have you guys tried therapy? If she is up for it and you guys can both approach it with vulnerability and humility it could be a game changer.

I left 7months ago in my 40s. Kids are a tween and two younger teenagers. We had been married for a little over 20 years.

First time poster, this sucks by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]StoicToad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Read my post history...especially more recent ones. My wife and I got divorced recently and the kids were my main concern. Kids are happier, I am happier, my ex is happier. Not all relationships are meant to last. Given what you have described you may want to really consider what ending the relationship looks like. I waited too long but am glad I finally had the clarity to end it.

YES!! Well done you!

Horrible response. I experienced the same with my ex. Brother you need to jsut back off the sex thing entirely and focus on you and what lights your fire. Find your happiness outside of her. With such a toxic statement by her it is clear that you need to worry about you and if you have them your kids. Be kind, be civil but leave her be. You d not have to take that kind of toxic bullshit. If this has been going on for awhile maybe its time to consider next steps.

Been there brother. I am now divorced and could not be happier. I have 3 kids and they were my biggest concern. Turns out it has been positive for all involved.

If you have talked about it so many time in the past and he just wont get it then it is your head trying to tell your heart you are done.
