Sexless Marriages

[Stucoy101]

That is totally fair, and my wife 100% feels bad, because for a few years before I really understood how much things had changed, I would try to be extra flirty and handsy, and she would tell me no and I could tell she felt bad saying it. So eventually had a conversation where it wasn't that I was making her unhappy or she was withholding because of other things in the relationship, just that she wasn't ever in the mood. So that absolutely has the opportunity to be very different in a different relationship with different dynamics.

Mine doesn't seem to feel bad, more like "that's the way it is." The distance just gets wider. I would have moved into another bedroom long ago if we had one.

I'm sorry to hear that. We still sleep in the same bed, even if we haven't had sex in years. It is our place to be close, through cuddling/snuggling. I know it won't go past that point so I don't try to push boundaries, but find that closeness together through those far less amorous moments of intimacy. I am sure I would be wanting to sleep in a different room if that wasn't the case, I think you have every right to be unhappy in that situation.

Ours is a king sized bed and it might as well be three king sized beds. There's no intimacy whatsoever and frankly I've gotten uninterested... sorry to vent having a bad night.

No apologies needed as far as I am concerned. We all need to be able to communicate and vent. Whether that comes in the form of at the bar, at a club, or on here.

Love it - thanks!
