If you don't want sex, will you allow your SO to have sex with someone else? (woman, cheating)

I can stay and be miserable or leave and be miserable.

You say this in thread after thread. You do know inside you, I hope, that there are other options. If you don't, let me tell you, there are.

There don't seem to be any options.

Well, plenty of men and women divorce and both raise their children, and make the finances work. Yes, it is hard and financially difficult. So what? Most things worthwhile are. It is a choice. You seem to embrace the misery though. Your business.

I would not accept or ever want my partner to have sex with someone else. No matter the reason.

A friend of mine would happily agree though... I don't understand how ayone could.
It wouldn't feel like a real, committed relationsip at all to me.

There are a lot of ways to build a joyful monogamous relationship that don't depend on promises of fidelity and threats against infidelity.

I wouldn't under any circumstances give my SO permission to cheat on me. I would rather thing of other options or end the relationship if it was that much of an issue

If you gave him/her permission, it isn't cheating, by definition.

Is it a real, committed relationship without sex???

If I'm depriving my partner of sex, then I have no one to blame but myself if she were to go elsewhere. I know I would!

Permission or not in my book sleeping with someone while in a committed relationship is cheating.
