This is the best quote I have seen in a very long time. This embodies my entire cause in a nutshell. Sexless marriage is as much of a violation of your vows as infidelity. You could take it a step farther and say that without the abuse of sexless marriages the infidelity rate would plummet.
Denying your partner sex is cruel and without a doubt abuse. That of course goes both ways, it doesn't matter who is doing the rejecting woman or man it's wrong.
Nobody likes to be rejected and when you make the choice to commit to someone you naturally assume that you will have a sexual commitment as well . Now this doesnt mean they must have sex every single time their partner wants but almost. In my opinion anyway.
What it means is that no one should sit back and watch as their partner begs for attention.
First marriage I was in something like this. Sex was a job to her which became boring and dull to me. Eventually she cut it off completely. I went outside the marriage more for validation that I was desirable but didn’t (at that time) want a divorce because she’d cut me off from my kids. Eventually I left after the kids were 18. The mental fatigue was too much.
I’m currently in a great place with my relationship but it could be better due to imo mental blocks caused by the x.
Sometimes it’s out of everyone’s control (medical reasons), but that doesn’t make it any easier for the people involved. It’s tough having a good life and being lonely at the same time.
This is truth
