Help - sexless marrage

Default profile image
I have been married for a number of years & love my wife most of the time. In recent years we have become isolated with regards tosex...My wife just likes to have sex occassionally whereas I have a sex drive that means I have the urge 3-4 times / week Also my wife NEVER and I mean never initiates sex I have asked her if she is happy with our sex life = "YES" also if she wants to try anything new or act out fantasies - "No" Also if she climaxes = "Yes" Whilst I respect she has a lower sex drive & it is only part of our relationship it leaves me feeling rejected, unloved & angry I feel that I am going to end up being unfaithfull & don't want to be that person BUT am being forced into it...I have explained on numerous occassions how this makes me feel. I respect that she has a lower sex drive & shouldn't be asked to do things unless she wants to BUT surely she should be willing to work towards some middle ground? Is anyone else in this situation and if so or not what advice would you give me?

I can see the severity of your dilemma.. You can try asking her to initiate the sex at times she feels in the mood... I know you're probably sexually frustrated, but please don't do anything rash -- I'm sure there is some way out of this situation.. Perhaps you could ask her to arrange a "3-times-a-week" sexual encounter with her, or maybe she has had some sexual trauma in the past that you don't know about, thus is the reason she has a low sex drive. Or perhaps even, the sex could be too routine. Try to add some variety to spice up the sex life, maybe it'll drive her crazy over it someday.

I know this almost 2.5 years old. But your wife sounds exactly like me.
