I Am Leaving a Sexless Marriage

I am slowly discovering my emotional triggers.

My marriage to my ex was rotten with control. I had to do everything with him. He determined what it was that we "enjoyed." He determined the when, where, and how of my life. He...

I just left my husband.
I am no longer in the ILIASM!
Woooh Hooh! Last night, I had a young guy friend over (completely platonic) and we danced to my prom song from 1989 and I got picked up and thrown around! And, then my other guy...

It has been awhile since I wrote a story on my progress in leaving a marriage that has been on its last legs for many years.
I have talked to supportive friends and family members ad nauseum about this draining life here in a...

Not so long ago I was one part of a relationship.
A relationship that suffocated me.

No touch. No hold. No giving. No love.
A very strange kind of relationship.
Especially since I am very warm.
And giving.

I am grateful she let me...

I came to the decision to separate from my wife while were apart this Christmas. I have been looking into the details and am not sure if we should separate first to cool off, ot just outright divorce. I don't see our relationship going...

I awoke around 6 am. I heard him rustling in the master bedroom...soon to be MY bedroom. I told myself, "keep it together today, kiddo, you're almost through this."

We made it through a peaceful breakfast. He ate quickly so he could...

A marriage dies in bits and pieces. The first betrayal comes as a surprise and one is left feeling alone and dismayed. You know that you are doing your best and someone tells you that you are the wife that sleeps in every morning...

My lady friend just filed divorce. they were married for 16 years, both works good job, no children. The husband was cheating, she caught it and she wants out.
When I brought up the idea of a second chance, she open up her heart to me...

I look back to how my life was a month ago and cannot believe how sad it was. Staring outside of my window out into the streets of Bamberg, Germany, I longed for the life i could be missing out on; instead, i was conformed to a sexless...

Yesterday was a day of breakthroughs.
I had my first counseling session. So did he.
In mine, I slowly detailed how the “decoupling” occurred. I mentioned some key events that were catalysts to the “decoupling.” She asked a lot...

I am a few months into the legal process of leaving my sexless marriage...with another three to four months ahead of me.

Emotionally, I left years ago.

Now, as I go through the divorce dance, I find myself questioning how the hell I...

My wife and I are both 65. We are fit and well and have been married for 42 years. I think I have been a good husband have never cheated. We have one unmarried son 34. We live in a quiet part of the country in the UK. I am contemplating...

So, it's been five days since the STBX moved out. Sleep and I haven't been speaking to each other much, except when I've come to a point of complete and utter exhaustion. Then I'll fall into more of a coma-like state, empty of dreams...

Hey everyone! I haven't been on this board for quite a while but just wanted to give everyone an update. I'm 4 months of 6 into my separation and it was totally worth it. Me and the W are still amicable save for a few incidents but all...

well...its happening...I am leaving...not in a rush, with a thunderstorm's worth of drama, nor without regrets.
But gradually - bit by bit and with some sadness, and many pangs as I start to dismantle our life together. 
He knows now...

I married my friend. I've been with him for over a decade years. I thought because he was stable, kind, loving, reliable and an amazing father, I'd love him. Now, I am in a sexless marriage. We love one another have children and turns...

It's been over 30 years.  We've been through so much together, raised two children, and have created such a rich shared history.  I don't regret my marriage.  I just don't want to live like this for the next 30 years.
For the last 10...

I have been married for almost 10 years. We were married in our mid 30's and after waiting for what seemed like forever I met my husband and we had a wounderful beginning. My husband is an alcholic and I knew this when I married him but...

So, I filed for divorce last week, and tomorrow i will see my soon-to-be ex-husband "T" since he is on leave for the next two weeks from Germany. I am not sure how to feel about this, as it has been nearly 6 months since i last saw him...
