"Happened to me ........ Was with my ex for 12 years and the last 6 years and we had sex once. She had no interest in sex, lingerie, toys and never masturbated. The last words she said to me when we sold the house was " Do you know the reason why I didn't want sex ? Because you were shit at it ". " That must have hurt .. was it true or was she just being mean | |||

" So no non-sexual intimacy either? How does she respond when you try to talk about it? Spoke to her tonight about it quite open she doesn't want to and that's that doesn't want to end off conversation " 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. | |||

Spoke to her tonight about it quite open she doesn't want to and that's that doesn't want to end off conversation " 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  | |||

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? | |||

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. | |||

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. " Definitely the menopause that's caused her lack of sex drive but it's the attitude .. I don't want sex and that's it if u want to leave , leave .. | |||

"We have very little sex anyway That's not a moan, nor the reason I'm here - just that the relationship has never really been built on it (or even around it) I would have more of an issue if there was no intimacy - a hug on your way out the door, a random cuddle whilst preparing dinner, throwing your legs over each other on the sofa - that kinda stuff Sex (for me at least) doesn't need to be on the menu in a long term relationship The "little things" are where it's at for me No hugs on kisses no love showed what so ever .. if I ever questioned that I get your so needy which am definitely not or I would be with her That's really sad. She's emotionally checked out already, which is the real problem, not the lack of sex. " Nell makes a lot of sense, as usual. 🙂↕️ | |||

"I find it inconceivable that a woman would just declare this to her husband with no justification " I don't. Plenty of people don't know how/choose not to communicate openly and respectfully with their partners. | |||

"A relationship without any intimacy is not a relationship at all. " Why not? There are all sorts of relationships. Don't let a catchy sounding phrase become a 'fact'! | |||

However no one knows him and maybe he has no one else to ask. He could join mumsnet and ask there though. | |||

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. | |||

"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 | |||
