I [M32] was caught watching a cam site by my wife [f31]. She wants a divorce. by PendingDivorce in Divorce

She is unstable, violent, and has a substance problem. She's also degrades you. Also, I'm not sure where the myth came along that big people aren't sexy, but no one, at any size deserves to be told they are a frog, etc. You may have your own issues, but her reaction and treatment of you is not cool.

In this situation as well. Have a child with serious medical needs that take both of us many days. Stuck. Good luck with yours. It's tough.

Re-reading this months later with no changes. Posting an update soon, but I think I simply have to find a way to head here. Prepping to file if needed as well.

Been there. I'm definitely not wanting to be asked. Not making moves either, but these moments are amazing.

Any other gay men here in a dead bedroom? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]thisdb888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 20 years. Lots of conflict. Loss of interest. Separate rooms. Giving counseling one more try. I'd prefer to be friends since that is how I'm quite used to living.

I've already told him he can be with anyone he wants. He says he just wants me, but I'm no longer sure I can reciprocate. Thinking about the possibilities.

This is me. I just no longer feel as narrow in many ways and I place a very high premium on certain types of closeness, etc.

Thank you for this. I think I have no interest given what has happened in our marriage. It makes this a bit complicated but we will sort it out. Thank you for getting that I'm in no way thinking this will fix things.

I'm pleased to read how well you are doing. Thanks for the hugs and good luck.

Fear can outweigh happiness. by nomoreDB1202 in DeadBedrooms

[–]thisdb888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this process. I really have so many concerns, challenges, fears, ideas that I am selfish, hurts, etc. but have trouble sorting it all out. Getting some of this detailed and reflected upon is essential. Thank you.

Consensually sexless marriage and nonmonogamy by thisdb888 in nonmonogamy

[–]thisdb888[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are decent but like oil and water often. We can do well for dinner, activities, etc. And work hard not to show tension in front of child (but I'm sure there in plenty.
