With my first marriage we didn't consummate it until at least 6 weeks later.
And after 10yrs we ended up in sleeping in separate rooms.
For us it was far too young to live like that....And had to move on !! Ruby  |

In that case, my sympathies. Maybe talk to her and try counselling? If you've had kids, that can have an effect on women for a whole host of reasons. |

Lack of sex tends to be a symptom of other ailments in the relationship. You should discuss it with her and possibly seek professional help. Alternatively pls consider that things may be over or she may have found someone else.
Either way, hope you sort it out.
Good luck! |

A friend told me when I was unhappy with my relationship with my ex "only a bad relationship has to be workes on, good ones just come easy" and with those words I decided to split up with her, I would be lying ifI said it was hard to be wwithout my son but when I do see him I am so much more keen to make sure he has the happiest times when he is with me and I can put a lot more effort in to it. Each relationship is different though and only you can make a decision like this. I really feel for you, its not easy. If you ever feel you want a stranger to talk to feel free to get in touch |

Mate I am with you all the way on this 1 tried everything recently to spice things up all to no avail. Booked nice hotel rooms, spent £150 in Ann summers, left little erotic notes all round the room. And still nothing ! You end up feeling useless & insecure not sure what more to do.

All relationships need to be worked on by both sides, nothing worth having is easy.
Sadly most relationships go through hard times but if you put the time and effort in hopefully you should come through those times even stronger. |

She might have gone off sex entirely or she may just not want sex with you. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just a fact.
If a sexless marriage doesn't work for you then you need to find an answer. |

This! If you love each other you will make it work, if there is no love anymore no point staying in the relationship as will only cause resentment. |

Sometimes it could be little day to day things that put you off. I used to get upset if hubby didn't help me clear up the kitchen after dinner and then refuse to have sex as a way of punishing him.
Women's sexuality is very close connected to feelings and thoughts so if something is upsetting or annoying her, she will not be in the mood for sex. |

im guessing they have already spoken about it, most couples talk to each other on a daily basis, im sure they don't live in a silent marriage, yet hes still on here and their marriage still isn't want he wants
Sometimes people just drift apart, and sometimes we have to accept its over if we don't want to live a life we're not happy with

As has already been said you need to talk to your wife.The trouble is too many married men and women come on a site like this behind their partners back first to satisfy their needs. Surely talking should come first !!! |

with the greatest of respect how do you know they havnt already talked, how do you know that he's not made the effort and just got to the point he's given up?
some people do just go off sex, its not always a case of have a chat and things will be sorted, you can only try for so long before you realise your banging your head against a brick wall, how long do you make the effort and try to fix things before you admit defeat?
maybe he has done all he can already

I think you'd be surprised at how may people are in the same position as you, and I'll no doubt he opening myself up to a load of abuse but..
Speaking from experience, sometimes everything about the relationship is 100% right (love, soulmates, kids etc etc) apart from an in-balance in sex drive's.
So I guess there's 3 choices;
1. Live with situation and the frustration that's bound to build up
2. Leave and find somebody that's sexually compatible (that you may not love as much as your original partner)
3. Find an outlet for your sexual frustration and keep the good parts of your marriage in balance
Good luck!

I opted for the third option (and will probably be slaughtered for it too). All the talking in the world didn't change the imbalance and refusal to compromise. |

I hear what you are saying and yes i agree. But surely is it not better to evaluate the situation your in and if you decide you cant live with it, then it's time to move on and not just join a swinging site behind a partners back. Eventually you will get caught and cause a lot more hurt than had you have been open and honest in the first place. |

Can not really give any better advice than has already given. You need to try professional help if your partners sex drive has radically Changed could well be an underlining issue, if this doesn't work then I can only suggest putting your cards on the table, if you still lover her then tell her this but also say that you need sex suggest swinging or dare I say escorts. If she will not go for this then you really do have only 2 choices stay with her and live without sex or leave. Doing this behind her back will only end in heartbreak for the both of you. |

Your choice mate but as I said in an earlier post if you go down that route it will only end in heartache and when she finds out which she will eventually you will end up parting ways and in a very bad way, good luck in what ever you choose |

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
I decided to look for NSA fun behind his back, could not go through with it and felt very ashamed for trying.
Found a new hobby/past time instead to take my mind off sex, which put me in the path of my late partner that provided the much needed sparks in my life, which included sexual needs as well as emotional attachment etc...

And will it work when she finds out he's on here. Sorry if you truly loved your wife you'd be at counselling or talking to each other already, not on a site looking for sex, which I presume you are doing without her knowledge.
Yes kids are involved and I appreciate you don't want to hurt them, but plenty kids grow up perfectly happy from broken marriage, as long as you keep up contact/have kids often no reason they would be unhappy |

Am not judging you for being on here - I went almost 6 years with no sex from my hub - we have a child so just leaving wasn't an option for me. Or I didn't think it was.
I think to a certain extent the children excuse is a cop out. A sexless marriage is a dead marriage and what kind of example is that to show your kids? It kills the marriage and eventually you too.
Make exit plans...think it through clearly. And then just do it - I finally did and I'm happier now than I've ever been. Life is too short to be in a marriage with no intimacy, no fucking, no fun... |

I also want to say that love is most certainly not enough. I still love my ex, always will. But when the person withholding sex for whatever reason can't or won't engage it's a lost cause and no matter how much you love them you will just grow to resent them and fall out of love anyway. |

Hi friend
I've been on both sides, ie where I've not wanted sex and where my partner hadn't -two different relationships. I've got to say, sex isn't everything but it's the ultimate intimate act to show someone you love and care about them. I found that our the hard way. I personally would try to work it out, you may well regret it.
Just my penny's worth |

Sexless marriages aren't necessarily dead. Not everyone thinks about sex 24/7. 
The issue is when one wants sex and the other doesn't. |

I agree. If every aspect of the marriage is good apart from sex, and you have tried, why smash it for the sake of a bit of physical relief?

I do understand the definition of sexless marriage having been in one for many years. And it has nothing to do with thinking about sex 24/7, that's a ridiculous comment.
Sex is not a huge part of a marriage unless its missing. Then it becomes huge...and even when everything else seems right you will grow resentful if that is missing. Outsourcing is an option but cheating isn't for everyone. |

OP if your wife went on the pill after having the kids, it might be that which switched off her libido ?
Try talking with her about changing the method of contraception and give it 3-4 months to see if it comes back.
I can suggest The Billings Method which involves no drugs at all.

Its a terrible. Situation I can never understand sexless relationships because. Good sex is healthy you could. You not happy and want a few days away by yourself. I did that because my ex was more interested in drinking a bottle of wine every night so sex went off the agenda when I got back I ended it. Ask yourself would you ever hold back from sex. No would be you answer good luck |

Exactly what I did! I had no intention of being a single mum with three young children. It was my plan to be out and in my new home by the time my youngest started secondary school in September 2003: completion date of my house was April 2003! |
