I don't think "being a man" is the main issue, although if that's where it's hurting you the most, it's a valid reason.

I would still try to have a conversation with her though, if she's comfortable talking about it. Maybe both see a therapist or a couple counsellor?

Dunno how much you guys care for your marriage, but I'd at least try and find the issue.

You definitely need to talk to her. Even if it's uncomfortable. Better have an uncomfortable talk than any of the alternatives.

Nobody should have sex they don't want, but expecting a partner with a healthy sex drive to be OK with never having sex again is delusional. If she's not willing to discuss it and find a solution, like you seeking it elsewhere, there's not much chance of you both having a healthy relationship together.

Menopause wiped out my libido and sexual interest(cuddles included) to zero for 2 years, I was very open with my fwbs and they were patient with me, while I was settling into my medication.

I'd have another chat with her, focusing on her needs. Also maybe look into toys you can self pleasure with, to ease your sexual frustration. Good luck with this journey it's a hard one and has lead to many a cheat unfortunately

It could be a number of things.

She could be depressed as I said, equally hormones.

And perhaps struggling in general?

But trying to brush the carpet over it all.

Equally as she might be unhappy in the marriage and using this as a way out?

Pushing you away.

As someone else said, if someone doesn't want sex then that's their right, married or not.

But equally can't expect the other person to go without, that's unfair in my opinion.

Maybe some marriage support,GP, Counselling?

Similar situation to me (but longer than you). Eventually confronted her with an ultimatum, we end the relationship or I seek intimacy elsewhere. Originally we were going to split, then she agreed I could look elsewhere - which is why I joined Fab.

Her only asks were I don’t have an affair and that she doesn’t want to know about it. I try my best to hide it but she knows. If she asks I will tell her anyway.

Also, if she ever tries to get intimate again I will have to tell her first. I am hiding my adventures at her request, but if we were to get close again I couldn’t do that without her knowing.

And one more thing, I told her if I was free to look elsewhere then so was she - with man or woman.

Also I make sure anyone I may possibly have intamacy with know my situation first.

So possibly just age catching up, life, work, bills, stress? Do you both spend time together just the two of you? I mean if she's point blank no longer interested then you just have to accept that really. Can't expect someone to still want sex if they don't. You then need to decide if you stay or go based upon that.

Well yes, but you've been on here a year, and had meet? I assume that wasn't a discussion with your wife? So realistically what are you seeking? To cheat and not get caught? Come clean and see if she's okay with it? Or just look for someone to tell you it's okay to cheat if your wife doesn't want sex?

Bodies can undergo performance issues for a number of reasons as we get older. Some issues are physical with hormonal imbalance. Some are psychological. Some manifest as "X" but are caused by unidentified issue "Y" elsewhere.

Some are multifactorial.

And some are just simply a change in tastes.

Regardless of the root cause(s), the fact remains that she does not wish to, and you do.

If you both value your relationship, then you both need to work on a compromise, and that is certainly possible in the FAB lifestyle.

I would say, be open, transparent, honest and if an arrangement is agreed and reached, it's done with clear boundaries.

Personally, if it was me and I didn't want sex anymore for whatever reason, my first thought would be, "How does this impact my partner and my marriage, and how can I help both of us through this period ? Also, I'd be on the phone to the GP, as I'd have the presence of mind to know this needed investigation. I wouldn't take it on face value that it was menopausal for example, because it might be something else entirely.

He's said a few times he's tried to talk to her about it. When you keep getting a brick wall instead of an open discussion, where do you go? The Internet if full of forums of strangers wanting advice on personal matters.

My marriage has progressed into platonic in the sense that we don't have sex, but there's still love and affection in abundance. I'm just no longer his type, we had open conversations about what each of us needs and have a solid relationship together, I find what I need outside of our marriage and we keep the communication open, if I didn't have the affection and know he loved me it would be a different story.

I'd ask them how they picture our relationship going forward with such an important part of intimacy removed, and how far were they intending to deescalate.

One of my partners had a monogamous girlfriend for a while last year, I was happy to scale our relationship back down to just friends and keep our connection without the physical intimacy. But then I'm happily poly, it's not like I was expected to play the full time partner role with zero physical intimacy. That's not something I'd be willing to do. Had it been a monogamous relationship it would have been unlikely to be nearly as happy or friendly.

A perspective from someone who no longer wanted sex from her long term partner - partly because it wasn't great but also because I'd stopped loving him. I wonder if she is trying to force your hand and get you to leave her so that she doesn't have to be 'the bad guy'?

If there is no medical reason and she just doesn't want to have sex I’d say it’s time to walk away, if she wants to stay in the relationship she clearly just wants to still have the benefits you bring to the relationship yet doesn’t value you high enough to actually have sex with. I’d personally rather be alone than in that situation

Firstly I'd sit down with them and have a long honest conversation discussing the issue and finding out if there's any other reasons, maybe they have self a confidence problem or perhaps something has happened that has traumatized them and they need help.

Ask if it's something I'm doing that can be improved such as my appearance or something? Maybe I need to go to the gym and get in better shape?

Suggest couples counselling.

Assuming that it's a long relationship and your still in love with them say you are going to be patient and wait see if things improve maybe plan a weekend away?

Certainly wouldn't do a knee jerk reaction and say " fuck you I'm off"

There's definitely something deeper going on.

There's possibly a dozen reasons why and it's not all that they don't love you anymore,but unless you open a line of honest communication you'll never know.

The problem with these types of posts is we only have the one side of things, and most of the time it seems like a justification as to why( men and I say men as women can be sneaky cunts also) they just tend to not make posts about it, are on sites like this.

If what you say is actually true and you choose to stay because of finances or family then that's the choice you have made and moaning about it isn't going to change any of it.

Things are never black and white I have found in these situations.

Your wife has gone off sex for whatever reasons but there is a reason and she or anyone else should not be expected to have sex just to please someone else. That is not enjoyable for anyone involved. The way you describe her as vanilla as fuck doesn't exactly seem like you have any respect for her or really care about why she has gone off sex.

And I also don't think a partner should be expected to do without sex for their life if their partner has decided they no longer want it. That is also not fair.

As for you op the only answers you will get that will help is from your wife and a clear and open discussion rather than accusations from either of you.

"Why don't you ask for marriage counselling, loss of libedo is often a symptom of something deeper. "

I was thinking the same. And it took marriage guidance to realise the problem wasn't me not wanting sex. It was that I didn't have any of the other lovely stuff that warms you up, makes you feel loved and cherished, which would then lead me to wanting to shag his brains out again! I think the drop in hormones that drives our sexual needs is a bugger! It exposes the lack of emotional intimacy in a relationship.

I got to a point where I didn't feel fancied. And always felt any kind of affection was only because he was wanting a fuck! That feels horrible, pressured and empty for the other person!

The trouble was, I couldn't verbalise that to him. There was so much upset on both sides, that we both dug our heels in and defended our positions. It would have taken a skilled therapist to have helped unpick that with us.

I've only realised this now...divorced, on HRT, and with a man who is loving, patient, sensual, and enjoys just cuddles without expecting it to always lead to sex. I've found that's given me the space to feel unpressured which has been the real game changer for me!

I wondered if your chats with her have only been about you needing sex? Have you worded it with more emotional depth....that you really miss cuddles, feeling close to her? As that feels less transactional. Also have you said that it feels a really big issue in your marriage, so she understands that if she tries to sweep it under the carpet she could risk losing you?

All of the above said....it takes two people to put the work into keeping a marriage going. You can't do it all alone! Good luck OP. I hope my perspective helps somewhat x
