Would you leave a sexless marriage??

Dammm,
I know what I'm supposed to damm!
I fucken hate this shit!
It is eroding my self esteem and I know I'm not happy! He's a selfish fucker just thinking of himself.
I dread starting all over --I'm 41 with a todddler! Ugh!
It's probably not worth saving at all---I know !
He makes me feel guilty because he's the breadwinner and I stay home to raise his baby. We decided this together when I was finally pregnant after 10 years (been married 12 years). This man of mine is basically a grouchy old man at age of 45!

Maybe he's having an affair with a co-worker ? Idk
Shit, at least let me know so I can get my candy too!
We have a 3 bedroom house together--I can stay in one room with the baby and we can date other people.

My dad died 3 months ago and he's been so rude to me. My dad was sick with dementia /Alzheimer's and my husband would make me feel guilty for helping out at my dads house. "What about us/what about our life/what about our baby!"
Who in the Fuck abandons their sick parents? I did my best to run both households while my dad was alive. I'm only one person! I was a good daughter and my dad loved me. I miss him. And my husband has emotionally neglected me during the worst time in my life. He's a heartless fool. Selfish fool. He doesn't deserve me or our precious baby girl.

I just wanna cry so badly.

Isn't this so sad?
Who the hell lives like this ???
It sounds like you have a lot of resentment towards him. I'm so sorry that you're going through all that.. that's a lot for sure. I would talk to a lawyer, what are your options?

You may be scared.. but you should talk to him about your feelings. Would he be supportive of you getting a job? Or what about to having an open marriage...? If you need sex, can you get on an app and find someone? No romance. Tell him you need something more...

If he says no to all the above.

Can you join a class? Painting? Hobby? Book club? You need something else. This is to help develop your connections outside of this house and marriage.
 
It would depend upon other factors, like how our relationship/marriage is, how long we were together, etc.

A good marriage or relationship is not all about sex; but if you don't have sex at all and are not elderly and don't have major health issues then something's wrong.
 
Forget it.

Sexless sucks, but if the guy was medically unfit that would be a cross I would bear. Your circumstance? It wouldn't matter if you were ugly as sin. The man purports to love you, he needs to respect your needs. I'm not hearing that at all. Move on. Know your worth hon- there are precious few good people out there, and only half of those are women. You deserve better. You deserve happiness.

Thank you for your kind words

I just can't believe I'm living like this!
The last time we had sex was this YEAR In April! That's bullshit!
I don't want pity sex!
I wanna fuck and be nasty!

I'm not ugly at all. He just cannot appreciate a good woman. He's selfish.

We sleep in the same bed and never fuck??
Pathetic!
I need a bf ASAP
Maybe a BL bf may come along ....shrug
.....many of you have been so kind to me. I appreciate your kindness and compassion. It's more than what I get at home.

Happy Holidays to you all!

Yes I agree. There are periods in the marriage where you might not have sex for a while, and depending on the reason that might go on for a while. However, if both of you are fine, young and healthy. The absence of sex means that something is not okay.
 
As a guy, a husband, with strong desire for physical intimacy and sex, I masturbate. What I've come to realize a couple things;
- if I walked in on my wife masturbating I would be ecstatic
- I fantasize watching my wife with other men
- I fantasize watching my wife with women
- I hope she's cheating because then at least I know there's a libido in there somewhere
- if she would talk about sex and understand fantasies are intended to enhance, not replace, we would communicate in a way which would take our relationship to anew level

The preference isn't to madturbate, it's the result. This isnt to points finger, only to suggest taking action.

-Walk in while he's masturbating and join in
-Show him he's desirable also
- Buy a dildo and let him find you in the shower taking care of yourself
- make one of his fantasies a reality

Sex 'IS an important part of marriage because marriage is a relationship. Relationships are a two way street.

Thank you for sharing your perspective!

He's not into fantasy play at all.
I'm very kinky and Open and willing.
He's very vanilla and boring.
He says he doesn't have any fantasies. I don't believe him. I'm so down to try something new.
 
At my age, yeah I would totally bounce.

At 80 or 90 and she couldn't fuck anymore for medical reasons, no.

If I was married and we had kids and just grew apart but were dependent finacially, still were friends, and I had free reign to fuck whoever in my own time I would probably stay for the kids.
 
My suggestion is call him out. I think men all to often think that the marriage or wife they now have is holding them back from a sea of other women. Most men don't realize that there not just married. They built a marriage. They built a home. he might also be dealing with newly discovered fantasies that he doesn't know how to cope with or discuss. I'm currently going through the latter which has affected my wife's sex drive for the past three years. It really sucks to feel the person you in a marriage with isn't attracted to you because you know deserve that affection. You know that you deserve someone who longs for you and can't wait to have you. My advice is no matter how uncomfortable the conversation may be( believe me mine have been very uncomfortable) you need to ask him if he feels held back or has a fantasies he needs to discuss

I will ask him but I think he's just lazy and rather jack off to porn and go to sleep.
 
Well I can tell you the male version of this story, and to answer your question, no I would not stay if I were you. I have been married twice, and believe me, no sex is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. It is humiliating as all hell too, when you feel like your partner would rather get themselves off to porn instead of you. Looking back, I think I would have rather she been having an affair with someone instead of the porn. I mean it would have hurt, but at least it would not have been so humiliating.

I am sure you have already talked to him, like everyone else is suggesting. What I did in mine was this, I did have one final talk with her, and told her exactly what I was going to do. I told her that if she did not want to have sex with me, that I would have no choice but to go out and find someone that did.

You might want to go out and have an affair, it is an extremely good way to get your self esteem back. But bear in mind that affairs very seldom last, they are not like a normal relationship, as they are meant to end. But it will help you see things that you can not see given your present living conditions. For one, it will help you see if your marriage is worth saving or not. You will feel sexy again in your lovers arms, something you need to feel.

Sex is not a fringe that comes with marriage, it is an important element of a healthy couple. When it goes away it usually means there is a much deeper issue. Hope you can find the happiness you are seeking.

It's true my self esteem is going down the tubes!
He seems fine , though.
I guess porn is enough plus he doesn't have to bother trying to plead me. So it's the easy way out!
Men flirt with me often when we are out. He doesn't even notice.
I do feel that an affair would boost my self esteem and help me feel desirable again.

We do have some major issues he's to arrogant to recognize his faults. No relationship is perfect. He always twists my words around and makes me feel like the bad guy! Makes me give up trying to talk to him at all. I'm not afraid to admit where I'm wrong.
I keep wondering if this marriage is worth staying in anyway. We had sex 3 times last year! Pathetic, I know! Makes me angry! If we can't fuck and cum together why share a bed or a home together? I'm still young and healthy, shoot! Someone out there could really love me!
 
Counseling. You guys need to reconnect. He needs to quit porn. There are relationship issues, communication problems. Do you guys have kids? Marriage is a good thing and worth fighting for. Maybe he doesnt realize that. I wouldnt cheat if I were you. But I would tell him his behavior is making you question the marriage.

Yes, a two year old girl
He doesn't believe in counseling he says it's for the mentally ill /unstable.
Can you believe that?
Btw, my dad died 6 months ago been seeing a grief counselor for couple months. I was my dads caregiver till he passed. We've been through a lot these passed couple years.
It's true we do need to reconnect. We don't have trustworthy family to help us with date night.
 
It seems like he is old and stuck in his ways and it's not going to change....believe that!! You guys should have an open relationship or you just need to leave him cause why should be unhappy cause he don't wana lay the "pipe" and also you should try younger men to give you what you need mentally, and physically. I'm 44 in a couple days and the love in my life is a sexual 30 yr. old young man, and I love it!!! I will only date or go out with younger men. Check out link below....

Hurhel, be careful about extramarital sex if you're considering divorce.
You deserve to feel loved in every way possible, and clearly this is possible.
I don't want to drop another load on you but instead give you some encouragement to find it inside of you to do what you want to in terms of leaving him.
Your daughter is going to soon be that age where she picks up on the tensions (all of them, not just sexual) in your marriage and this is going to be her model for how to be a wife and what a husband should be.
Hopefully that helps show you what's at risk here.
Best of luck!
 
You are not alone Hurhel. I see a lot of different advice offered here but ultimately, only you can decide the right course of action. It depends on so many factors, but most importantly, how strong your marriage is outside of sex and whether you have the means and desire to channel your hurting into something positive. I am a guy that is also in a sexless marriage. I have a very high libido and had incredible sex in pre-marital relationships and so by contrast, the lack of sex is often excruciating. I would give almost anything to be able to please a woman.

There are many reasons I am still married – but most importantly, our relationship is founded on love. Without that, I would leave. We also have children and lead full lives with many mutual interests and a multitude of things we are grateful for in our marriage. I am also older now and the need for sex is less urgent, though the desire never goes away. My circumstances are also different than yours - my wife was raised very religiously and is unable to free herself from the conditioning that sex is a sinful and repugnant act. Counseling got us nowhere and porn became my outlet – and after orgasm, you don’t really care for a while anyway. My wife knows I use porn as an outlet and never complains.

During a moment of weakness 10 years ago, I hired a prostitute. It was extremely unsatisfying and the last time I’ll ever go that route. On the plus side, I never worry for even a minute about my wife cheating on me. Seriously though, if there are enough positives in your relationship, and you can find a way to satisfy your sexual needs that doesn’t hurt your marriage, it may be possible to save. However, your husband’s approach to sex does not seem healthy and it may signify other underlying issues. I think counseling is always worth a try – and if your husband is committed to make your relationship work, he will go with you. Sometimes it is possible to find a way to make things work, but other times throwing in the towel is best answer. Only you can find your way.

I've thought the same way... our little girl is witnessing all the tension between us. No marriage is perfect.... sex isn't everything but it's nice to feel/be desired by the person you share a bed with. YKWIM?!?!

We don't really share any hobbies together or have mutual interests. Maybe watching movies at the theatre or talking our daughter out to museums , amusement parks , beach , park etc. He's an introverted and I'm extroverted in personality. I know that sex isn't everything but I do want to be desired by my husband. I'm young , healthy and have sexual desire like any normal married (unmarried) woman and I feel emotionally and physically neglected. He's a healthy 45 year old male who is using (lack) as punishment (I feel).
He's agnostic and I am not. So we clash in many ways that way. I'm not super religious or go to church often but I do believe in God.
I agree if he wants to save This marriage counseling would help us zero in on the underlying problems.
