Me too...and this was a big symptom for me. I remember telling my husband I didn't care if I ever had sex again, and along with other troublesome symptoms, I decided to seek out the help of a medical professional. Once I was back to my normal self...I couldn't imagine NOT having sex. My drive is usually pretty high unless my levels are off.

Yeah - we aren't worried. Like I've said in other posts - we plan to be with each other for the rest of our lives - this is just a little blip on our sex radar! And besides - we are watching our little babies grow up - what is better than that!

Wow, what a nightmare, why not just get divorced. Do people just not get that you dont get your time back dealing with this kind of nonsense. If she does not want sex she can go be a cat lady and he can go find someone else.

Of course divorce has become a financial power struggle these days which is sad.

Well I was hoping that he would upload nudie pictures of his EX. Like in the good Ole days. When men would devalue a relationship, but that is not how this is.

This guy just needs to dominate what is his. Otherwise take a leave of absence, and let her worry about things. Apparently his work life has interleveled with his marriage sex life. Remember "Married with Children" and Al Bundy and Peg? Just dominate and tame that thing already. That is his vagina, there is an agreement that says so. How many more years.

Maybe the wife is going thru a problem with her body she is embarrassed about. Maybe she has an STD or even something wrong? Maybe she is becoming senile. Maybe she is cheating ( but I doubt that ).

There are ton of simpletons in the world.....period. This shows how messed up things are at home with these person situation. I wish I could give him some advice. He needs to take what is rightfully his even if she is an, crazy senile witch. So far this man sounds so unforgiven nice.

Yup! Same here! One of the many flags that I need to hit the doctor!

If he was mature he'd have a convo instead of an email. Maybe he read the Nanny Diaries one too many times, and was out of stationary.

In case any other posters are confused, no still means no. There aren't special circumstances that cause a no to mean yes or that her no is irrelevant.

Please help me stay on the guy's side here by avoiding statements about how much you own your wife's vagina.

He should, definitely. However, having been in a similar relationship in the past, it may not matter. He may have already tried to talk to her about it repeatedly.

I'm not excusing his behavior (or hers, for posting it on reddit), but we only know part of the story.

Yes - guys like that give us all a bad name.

Even when we weren't having it much, I was able to deal with it, because I knew she wanted to want it and couldn't wait to get back into a groove.

I was understanding, and, honestly, *I* was pretty tired, too. Doesn't mean I didn't want it more than she did for a while then, but I knew what the situation was.
