Beyond frustrated

I've been married for almost 25 years. The last 10 of them sexless and lots of arguments. The issue is we are good friends and that's it. He doesn't want to discuss anything to do with our marriage. I know in my heart it is over and we are both holding on for the sake of our third child who will be a senior this year. The big problem is I'm lonely and need love and affection. I don't want to have an affair as that might jeopardize my divorce. Any suggestions on how to deal with this frustration?

Hello, I am working on a brand new show called The Real, and we are looking to have people on the show that are living in sexless marriages. I was wondering if you would be willing to talk with me more about your sexless marriage. Contact me at [e-mail address removed]

I have been married for 26years and my marriage has been sexless for at least half of that. We used to have the kind of sex that I thought was only made up in books. Ive had my share of lovers before I met her but man oh man there was no comparisons to what I felt with her Then just slowly year by year we had sex less and less When we did it was still out of this world We've had sex once in the last ten years. I ask her once just jokingly "have you masterbated in the last ten years It crushed me when she said yes, a few time I said youd rather do yourself than have a the mam who craves you more than breath please you. She said well you was at work Im like you couldn't wait a few ****ing hours. Man that hurt. Still does I could leave her. Probably will But I know sex with another woman will be big disappointed And yes I do masterbate. If I didn't I believe I'd go insane. Any suggestions?
