I Live In a Sexless Marriage Stories of Experiences

My wife and I have been together for nearly 20 years and in truth, I knew our sex life would be bland at best but I married her because we were great friends and shared a love for sports. I consoled myself with the belief that there...

She said sex was available anytime, I didn't know why I was resistant. After 25 years I thought boredom...turns out emotional abuse really affects my sex drive.

I got a phone call on Monday from my local library. Apparently a book that I had put on hold (‘The 5 Love Languages’ by Gary Chapman) had finally come in for me and they wanted to know if I still wanted to borrow it…

Well that...

Hey everyone. I have a question. Once your divorces are final since most of us are on this forum because we have reached the end of our ropes, will you ever remarry? Do you think you could trust that a new partner would not go sexless...

Well, my husband has been on at me to get a job. I need to, for all kinds of reasons. Not just the money. But one thing which has scared me has been the 'it's all on me' aspect of it. That is - childcare, etc. - and his special...

One would expect that a younger wife gets irritated about lack of sex before her spouse does. The man would suppositly be less reponsive, even with the help of pills.
I'm 66, she 20 years less. Alas, her menopause occurred quite early...

I didn't think my marriage could get any more awkward, but yep, it has. No sex for 1.5 years, no touching at all for almost a year. So I decided what the hell am I sleeping in the same bed with him for? I sleep much better spread out...

For all of those who say, "Just end it now...it will only get worse...", and "What are you hanging around for?"..."Your spouse doesn't give you what you need, you should quit now..."...and other things.... I think maybe this will help...

I'm at the ‘point of no return'.
I’ve been in a sexless marriage for 10yrs. The marriage has been sexless since day one. I’ve had to beg, chase, argue, convince, and … run out of ideas, to get the only sex I’ve got – no...

I don't know how many times I have wanted to write this out, but felt "what's the point" as it is sickly similar to everyone else's.
Been married for almost 23 years. Known her for an additional 5.
We have three kids all in their teens...

I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!! Heard back today, start in a couple weeks, pay is..... not as bad as elsewhere.. not great but certainly livable. I am so entirely and completely relieved!

I've also secured daycare spots for the dear little...

There is this paramedic broad who dropped her duly wedded husband for openly screwing up a strumpet in one dingy niteclub once they had gone out together.

She coined this maxim that all men are dogs and went further to prove her point...

Most of us have somehow spent many years carrying a picture in our minds of a time in our marriages when things were much better the sex was good and things were pretty good. We froze that snapshot and carried it around with us in our...

I just wanted to share that in some cases, ladies, (I know, all men are different) there is hope.

I had begun to feel there was no chance of revival and that I was either going to have to deal with loneliness and misery forever, or...

Learning about Narcissism really opened my eyes to my situation. I grew up with a Narcissist Father (severe childhood trauma) then spent the last 21 years with my Narc wife. I really noticed how similar their behaviors are (obsessed...

This may be more for the "jaded marriage" set, but I thought it was interesting. I thought it might also be of interest to those women who are newly out, since, as we all know too well, a SM will totally trash your self-esteem.

So my last post said at the end of my rope, well I reached that several years ago. No I have just tied it around my neck and hung myself out to dry.
