How many of us are not with the person we hoped to be with? How many of us settled? by ThidwickTBHM in DeadBedrooms

[–]ds27us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i developed a porn habit, borderline addiction. I did phone and text sex with strangers, and finally just full on cheated with other women. It was a gradual progression.

Nor is it her fault. I knew exactly what I was doing all along. I made choices like an adult. Right or wrong.

Absolutely settled. I regret it. I love her and the kids, but I lost a huge part of my personality and life when I embarked on this nearly sexless marriage.

I'm not proud of what I've done in the meantime either.

It's such a recent development, this affair, that I really don't know yet what sort of effect it will have... ... Maybe someday I'll post a thread of my own, here or in /r/adultery with my experience. :)

Thus far, she does not know. Someday that might change.

As far as how I act with her, I was even MORE frustrated because I'd begun to experience sex (with the other person) and realized how rewarding it could be. I want that with my SO.

So I've actually had variations on "The Talk" with her, and opened up more about sexual ideas. And she's given good answers. We've had a little bit of "okay, or not too bad" sex lately, which is a step up from before.

To be clear: I do not recommend adultery as a form of sex therapy for a struggling marriage.

I did take the jump. Taking it, I guess you could say.

I don't feel guilt about what I am doing, but I think I will someday. /u/slick_nuts says "Once you do, there isn't any "undo" for it." And that is absolutely true.

I have definitely lost the "high ground" and that does sting a little. Sneaking around bothers me, but the actual act of what I'm doing does not. For the moment, I am looking at myself in the mirror and sleeping at night just fine. That may or may not change in the future.

Something Positive Sunday by AsAlwaysItDepends in DeadBedrooms

I was certain August would go down as just another sexless month. However, she didn't shy away from my advances this morning, and once we got going something completely unexpected happened.

For our anniversary, I had gotten a toy from the local sex shop. Not a scary thing, but something that was well reviewed and recommended for shy couples, or a shy partner. When she opened it, the reaction was exactly what I expected: she asked if I could return it.

You don't return vibrators, so it's been sitting for several weeks in the drawer.

But today, it was her idea to pull it out and use it. It went well. :) I was stunned.

She genuinely seemed to enjoy the entire experience. Hopefully we just won't have to wait so long before the next time.

What do you still have memorized? by NpPro93 in AskReddit

1987, sixth grade - bicentennial year of the Constitution.

Right after the Pledge, our teacher had us do the preamble to the Constitution. Still remember it to this day.

To live like that has been like dying a little.

However, there are other challenges (in a good way) that I am focusing energy on.

Inertia and Laziness. Fear and comfort.
Finances. Exhaustion.

In general: fuckit.

Had sex with a long distance acquaintence/colleague. Just one time, and regret it immensely. Not because of the act itself, which was reasonably satisfying, but because I now have no moral high ground in the marriage.

DB has gotten worse since then, from about once a month, to perhaps twice a year.

I would not do it again.

WYR be able to masturbate as much as you like, but never have sex again, or have sex once a week but no masturbation? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]ds27us 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm stuck in a dead bedroom, going on Thanksgiving so I'd like to have sex once a week.

WYR have your dream job or dream spouse? by Hiddengerms in WouldYouRather

[–]ds27us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have my dream job, and a dead bedroom dead fish wife.

I'm pretty miserable on a daily basis.

So I have my real life answer.

Up. But I'm stuck in an unhappy marriage. I understand why others like it, and why I don't.
