My Sexless Marriage

user

Here the deal folks:

I love my husband but I am not happy with our sex life. There has never been much sexual chemistry between us so this in not an issue of just waxing and waning. It is difficult at times and I do miss good sex, but I also do love my husband and I am very attached to him too.

Here is my question: Can you be happy in a sexless marriage if you like sex???

I have girlfriends who started out hot and heavy and now are also complaining about the lack of quality love-making.

Another question: Can a hot sex life really endure in a marriage anyway????

I am really intetersted in what you all think. Please help!!!!

    what really matters is if YOU can be happy in a sexless marriage since it is not my marriage.

    I am a big fan of sex.....marriage? Not so much.

    do you know if there is a medical reason for you husband to not want more sex? has he been this way the entire time you have known him? if not, i would ask him to check a complete check up, just to be sure there is no medical issues holding him back. the only way a sexless marriage works is if BOTH of you want it that way. and that doesn't sound like you want it that way. so lacking a medical reason the 2 of you need to have a VERY serious talk about what you both want and need and come to some compromise so you both will be happy. good luck.

    "Discover it ... channel :-)"

    .

    Legend of Earthsea

    609

    00:49:13,616 --> 00:49:14,870

    Well done, Ged.

    610

    00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:16,857

    Look at these, everybody.

    611

    00:49:18,910 --> 00:49:20,962

    Perfect... diamonds.

    612

    00:49:21,887 --> 00:49:24,087

    And these... are for you.

    613

    00:49:30,111 --> 00:49:32,164

    Well, that didn't last long.

    614

    00:49:32,419 --> 00:49:34,920

    You didn't expect it to stay that way,

    did you?

    615

    00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,239

    Why should it not, if the

    magic is strong enough?

    616

    00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:42,089

    Because to change, a rock in to a jewel

    you must change its True Name.

    617

    00:49:42,591 --> 00:49:44,835

    It can be done.

    But it should NOT be done.

    618

    00:49:44,913 --> 00:49:49,663

    Not even to a single grain of sand until

    you know the good or evil that'll

    follow.

    619

    00:49:49,929 --> 00:49:53,241

    I don't understand. Good or evil, isn't

    it just turning one thing into another?

    620

    00:49:53,297 --> 00:49:58,297

    If the island of Earthsea were turned

    into diamonds, how many people do you

    think would survive?

    621

    00:49:58,429 --> 00:49:59,284

    Things are...

    622

    00:49:59,326 --> 00:50:00,356

    as they are...

    623

    00:50:00,407 --> 00:50:01,326

    for a reason.

    624

    00:50:01,850 --> 00:50:05,628

    At least you must understand that reason

    before you decide to change them.

    625

    00:50:05,848 --> 00:50:10,748

    - That's fine. But I still want to know

    how to do it.

    - I'm sure you do, Ged. I'm sure you do.

    626

    00:50:10,947 --> 00:50:12,487

    But you will not learn it here.

    627

    00:50:12,555 --> 00:50:15,505

    Not... until you learn true wisdom.

    .

    Here there are two large sophisms. Hard to see for some people and easy to see for other people. Nope, it is not interpretable. There are two large sophisms... two common mistakes and also large causes of evil in our society... but, I will not tell you precisely where :-) You must "discover it" by yourself... lol

    Well, most of us know that hot and heavy doesn't last forever. At least not in the same way it did when you first met. BUT, I do believe that if two people love each other (and I know you said you love your husband) and hopefully he still feels the same way about you, you should be able to talk about this problem and come to some understanding and mutual agreement. If you cannot talk to him about it, then you may have to seek counseling with or without him to at least get your frustrations out. Good luck :-)

    Hot and heavy rarely lasts. But your husband should be willing to meet you halfway so that you're both satisfied. If you don't feel like he's at least making an effort, then no, you won't be happy.

    I've only been with my boyfriend for a little over a year and already our sex life has diminished to at least once a week. And it sucks.

    This is a tough one. I've been married for 21 years now and our sex life sucks! He's content and I am NOT. I quit giving it to him and when he starting bitchin, I said pick a different position or let me do what I want or your not gettin anymore. Some days he says OK and it's much better but usually its the same old BS. But for you, I would say: Try talking to him - I know that sometimes talking to them can be impossible so if that's the case leave some Viagra on his pillow and see what happens. If he questions you (but you haven't gotten anywhere talking to him) then flat out say "try it or come up with something! Your driving me nuts!" If still no change, I don't know. Maybe you can try what I did. Good luck - I know how you feel. Much peace and love :)
