I think your spuose maybe cheating or gay, or have totally grown out of love which is very selfish and not right

Nothing you have said is wrong, but between 12.5 and 20% of marriages in this country are sexless. If the individuals involved can make peace with that then why is it wrong.
Sex is an animal instinct, love is a better thing. It c ould certainly not work for everybody, but for those it can, why pick on them.

Laura, I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this forum. Fy is not "picking on" those who live in sexless marriages - ALL of us on this forum live in sexless marriages!!

I suggest you do some reading around this forum (stories, forum topics) and see what this Experience is all about.

If you live in a Sexless Marriage please indicate that in your profile by nominating it as an experience of your own. If you do not live in a sexless marriage, I suggest this is NOT the Experience for you . . .

That is brilliant....problem is I think I can tick most of them....

11. The last time you had sex was when you passed your spouse in the hall and they said s***w you.

Laura - I think that you'll find people in this forum live in more than just a sexless marriage. When the intimacy, touch and love go, there's not much left.....
     
Feeling aggravated

Good one jobrowne I added that one. Anybody else got one for the list? we can have a little fun here maybe. Apparently some of the folks that read this post don't get it at all. I'm not picking on anyone, I'm just trying to find a little humor to keep from crying. I've been in a sexless marriage for 26 years and there isn't a thing that's funny about that. But if I spend all my time focused on my pain all that will do is drive me more crazy than I already am. The people in this forum that have a legitimate reason for being here understand this post. Like I said anybody else got a good one? Email it or put it in here and I'll add it maybe we can have a laugh instead of a cry.
     
Feeling sad
