Sexless Marriages

According to a TED talk I've watched by a sex therapist; 10 times or less per year is considered a sexless marriage. In that case it includes a fairly large percentage of couples. I don't give advice to others on the subject, but being in the 'much older' bracket, and having experienced that low number for a long time, I decided to not guilt myself over finding a willing partner and keeping it quiet. That did more for my peace of mind, than trying to endlessly ask questions or trying to be a 'better' husband. I just accepted my situation, and found willing partners elsewhere.
So 8 times in 10 years?
Are we in a sexless marriage?
Thats not a marriage. Thats a financial codependency.

I brought it up this week, and she dismissed the claim that we are basically roommates. 23 years together and now this bullshit.

Everyone claims her body her choice. Can I get aex outside the marriage? She says she'll shoot me.
Can I get sex inside the marriage?
Nope. Shes always too tired...while on there goddamn phone for 3 hours after lights out, every single night. This has gone on to this point. And its absurd.

So her body her choice.
My body, no choice. Nothing.

I reserve the right to deem this a pile of bullshit.

And I resent this shit to the ground.

Ive decided to leave. Call me all the billshit names you want, she is evil or cheating or both.

If this makes me the villain, so fuckin be it.

Out.

Hi Lee - sounds like you are going through it a bit. At some point you've got to do what is right for you.

So you left, officially? Good for you. I'm a bit of a hard-ass; I probably would have loaded the gun, handed it to her, then said do it then, while closing my eyes. At least if she did, she would have maybe been arrested, if they tested her for the burnt powder residue on her hands. Sad it had to come to this. What's wrong with people? I honestly don't get it, and lost too many sleepless nights(early on) asking myself WTH is wrong with me?
 
I have been in the position along time and I wish there was easy way to get everything you want but unfortunately you can't. I have kids almost grown up now and wife still not interested so in my mind I do the only thing I can is chat, porn and letting an overactive imagination run wild whenever it needs to say dreaming of all the things I miss the most and stopped blaming and questioning myself and putting it down to bad luck and just enjoying the things I can that will not cause no harm to anyone else untill the time changes
I had that mindset for a few years, but realized it was causing self-harm, and she didn't seem bothered at all. So that made up my mind to find it elsewhere, and it was surprisingly easier than I realized. Always discreet, and partners had the same viewpoint(s), so 90+% of my guilt evaporated. There were a few times, she gave me questionable looks when I returned from some 'chore' or 'errand.' Luckily I had the type of job where I visited or worked at several facilities in our area, and a few out of state; one even out of country. On one of my returns, she casually said she couldn't blame me if I was with someone else. I just looked at her, and said nothing; it was NEVER mentioned again.
