    cultures aside, a man should love and honor his wife. provide for her in every way. financially, emotionally and sexually. that is the central part of the marriage partnership. someone you can love, trust and desire, for the rest of your life. I understand the sadness in giving your youth to a relationship that has failed to reciprocate. as long as you are alive, you have a future. make the best of it. with or without him~

      Exactly ..That is why we marry the one we think he/she is " the one " otherwise what is the point to get married .
      we need to feel desired,wanted,accepted ...what is the point to propose to a woman and then ignore her when she says " yes " ? It does not make sense ...A woman steps into a man's house to share her love ,care ,attention,soul ,and to create a family and enjoy the love in between !

      you are right in feeling and believing that, but different ppl have different expectations of married life.
      he may be depressed or just non sexual. It is your right however, to want and expect more...

    You have the tools to make your life better. Don't wait too long to make your life better. You have qualities that men would die for.

    Lady, I understand your frustration and yes you've been dealt a cruel hand by fate. But I also think there is a bit of 'my culture - your culture' in there. You married him knowing he was not from your culture. So he would inherit a different set of the good and the bad from his environment. Why do you keep refering to working in 'your house', is it not yours too? Why don't you make him responsible for participating more if you feel you're the one doing everything?



    So you have the PhD. Get that going now. But you have to liberate yourself a little bit too. I feel you have made yourself a prisoner of your cultural upbringing and now maybe a little bit, of your fate.



    Life can continue to be frustrating, or you can deal with it more. Go get a job relevant to your qualification, no matter where. As you become independent and self-sustaining, your healing will begin or accelerate.



    Good luck.

    Maybe he was just looking for a compliant, acquiescing housekeeper, maid, nurse? I will risk wielding a stereotype and say that there are rather too many Western men who believe in that stereotype of Eastern women in contrast to their independent, feisty Western counterparts - another stereotype. Just because it is a stereotype does not mean that some don't believe in it, sadly.



    But you aren't even a woman "d'un certain âge", as the French would have it. You are also mature, intelligent and more important than anything, self-reliant and sufficient, or at least have the potential for that. It would be easy for you to start all over again, either in the country you are now a citizen of or where you are a native of. Well, not really easy but well within your capability.

    It could be that he was just gay milk.
