I've known more than a few couples whose sex life was (or is) not to their liking, but your wife leaving you for that seems particularly harsh. I am sorry to hear that she left you, but honestly, I think she did you a favor.My wife left me because I was too small , came too quickly and couldn't satisfy her in bed.
I know of a lot of people who ruined a good friendship by getting married to each other. Glad you discovered that before you got too far into it!Got married young to my best friend. Realized after 5 years that we were better friends than a couple. Still occasionally fuck from time to time. The sex is 10x better now than before!
20 years without sex is a long time unless it's just been sex with each other.I’m considering it after 38 years. (My wife stopped having sex with me 20 years ago, the fighting is getting worse, and we just became empty nesters when my son graduated.) I think this will be an interesting thread.
Nice guys finish last..."I are one"Married nearly 20 years before we divorced. After her first affair, we managed to patch things up and our relationship was actually great again for awhile. I told her, and she agreed, that if she ever wanted to have sex with someone else in the future that I would support her as long as we discussed it in advance. She had a second affair (that I'm aware of) about 18 months later and failed to discuss it with me until I confronted her. I didn't give her a second chance and started divorce proceedings immediately.
One of the reasons she gave for having the first affair was that my job required me to travel frequently and she always thought I was having sex every time I was out of town. She couldn't have been more wrong. I never cheated on her once during our nearly 20 years of marriage. After her first affair, she told me I could have sex with someone else because she "owed me one" but I never did, not even after her second affair. I waited until the divorce was final, then went crazy - trying to make up for 20 years of monogamy.
Third time's a charm! Congrats!My first divorce happened when our son died at 11 months, I couldn’t handle that she showed no emotion. However, it was her who left and filed. My second & I only lived together for 4 months. Don’t remember how we got on the subject, but she told me her ex was about 12” long and about as big around as a can of beer! I knew immediately that with my average size, I had never satisfied her nor would I ever! My 3rd wife & I have been married 35 years, I’m thinking this one might work!
That's a very sad story, but it really highlights the fact that if someone doesn't want to get better, it's impossible to make them. I'm glad you made it through with your children. You're correct - they are the good things that came out of your first marriage!Married 17 years the first time.
The first few years were good, she hid her depression and other emotional issues behind a smiling face.
The kids came and her emotional issues got worse and she was unable to hide them. She began self medicating with alcohol. I came home several times to her passed out and the kids unsupervised. Got her into AA and things got better for a while.
A few years later, she moved on to prescription pain meds and started abusing them. Multiple doctors and pharmacies cut her off. Just like any addict, she always had an excuse and blamed everyone and everything for her problems.
We tried therapy and counseling, nothing was effective. I finally reached my limit and left with the kids. It was the best decision I ever made.
She ultimately died of the effects of too much alcohol and too many pills a few years later.
I was single for 10 years before marrying my current wife. Our life isn't perfect, breast cancer induced menopause has wreaked havoc on our sex life, but we are best friends, true partners and we work through our issues.
I wish she was the first wife, but then I wouldn't have my 3 beautiful children.
Did you get a little satisfaction when she realized her mistake?She fell in love with a 17 year old dishwasher at the restaurant she worked at, she was 23. Took her about 2-3 years to figure out what a huge mistake she made but it was too late, I was happily remarried with 2 more kids of my own.
You bet I did. She never did really get her life back together.Did you get a little satisfaction when she realized her mistake?
Sounds like she would have wound up fucking things up some other way. Inevitable.You bet I did. She never did really get her life back together.
well said and i think mostly trueThere seems to be a common theme to both of your examples - it was okay for her to have hers, but not so okay for you to have yours. I wonder if this is more prominent than I've thought before?
Thanks for your responses!
