Sexless Marriages

Been through the dessert more than once… anyone ever experience the ebb and flow pattern? After a while, it might be easier to stop being hurt and you just long for peace instead of getting your hopes up and then having after a short spin your self esteem takes another hit?
This is why I gave up asking. My self esteem took a huge hit. I did put myself out there one last time and asked him to at least help me get myself off and he totally ignored that I asked him. So I won't bring anything up again.
Some of the people I have interacted with on here have been a big booster for me. I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'm fine with that. Lord knows I have enough baggage to fill a small plane.

I know how you feel, after 7 year's of rejections I stopped trying, that was over 8 year's ago.
Everybody's situation has similarities but also differences, it helps if you have people you can confide in with good advice (people that's been thru it) with no judgement, in the end it'll be you're decision to how to proceed.
Open to talk if you ever need to & if not it's ok, best wishes in finding a good solution for it.

That sucks, it’s just a shitty thing to do to somebody.

The in-balance of sex drives is just very difficult for both parties but not to show affection for the person you profess to love is mean. I’m glad you’re getting a boost here.

Can totally relate. Last time I wanted sex wirh partner he said use your vibrator. Guess where I threw the vibrator like a rocket. The garbage.
 
A few years ago, I really got myself in shape, running half-marathons, losing a lot of weight, gaining muscle and tone in some spots I thought were really sexy - the chest, the upper arms, the back, in addition to the legs. No response. And when I tried to instigate, rejection.
Worst thing, I think we all can agree, is when a SO doesn't even want to talk about it. Is it me? Is it you? Is it the cats? The bed? The laundry detergent? My shampoo?
Who knows!
That's one reason why I come here. I'd like a long-term relationship, from Lit or elsewhere, or even a short-term. But I often run away when it looks like something might happen. Seems I'm a good student.
 
I am totally in a sexless marriage and have been pretty much for a few years! We’re out there but we are a bit like unicorns 😂

I am a woman in her 50’s with the sex drive of an 18 yr old boy, that’s not normal I’ve been told by female friends the same age and male friends. I should be settling down for my old age with my hormones dying a slow death, but hell no! 😁
If you still have it, use it. Nice post !

lol. Dangerous place for such bold statements. ;)
 
Actually one of the things GreenMan and I realized once we took it to ‘in person’ instead of just here, we both miss the general intimacy like hugging, kissing, holding hands and just having someone who cares about us there daily, as much as the sex. The time we spend apart in between visits makes this even more apparent - humans need all kinds of intimacy to thrive.
I miss the feel of another body. Cuddling in a couch, a brief embrace. Physical contact creates a channel for me somehow, it’s the only way/time I don’t feel isolated…
 
for those that don’t divorce? Why. My kid are finishing high school and I am seriously considering splitting up.

Like it’s driving me me crazy
I don't know how anyone can afford divorce. We know a couple who decided to stay married but are basically divorced just to avoid the expense. The husband made up a place to live like a bachelor in the garage.

Can you meet with my wife lol I’m 42 and we have sex 2-4 times a week but I still have a drive like in my 20’s. Stamina included. Multiple times even. And she doesn’t take advantage lol. I’m in a place where sex for her is great but for me it’s mundane. She doesn’t wanna let me spice it up. Very plain. So I find spice through fantasy chat.
