So my best friend has been married for 9 years, her and her husband have two boys ages 3 and 1. She complains about her husband all the time (only to me really, since we're more like sisters) that he doesn't help her with the kids at all and it makes her resent him. Anyway yet through all this she always says how her and her husband have sex all the time and in that department they have no problems whatsoever. So this morning I was on the phone with her, and she said to me that her and her husband have a horrible relationship but a great sex life (which is impressive considering they have two toddlers running around the house). Since I'm single and have no kids, I was just wondering can a marriage keep going based on great sex alone?
I should also note, that I don't think her husband sees an issue in their relationship, he seems to think the world of her because she does take excellent care of the children and of him to be honest. Also, they're in their mid 30's and they started dating as young teenagers (so they've been together longer than most married couples lol). In addition, every time I see her husband he's either playing with his iphone or running out of the house to go to the store, it just seems like he doesn't enjoy being around his children, so he finds excuses to leave the house, or if he's home he tries to avoid them. I know he loves them and he does play with them from time to time, but that's about it. Late last year my best friend's dad was in the hospital and not doing well, so she would spend days at a time by his bedside. She would ask me to come over to babysit the kids--even though her husband was home--because she doesn't trust him alone with them (not like he's dangerous to them, just that he doesn't watch or take care of them).
BTW His excuse for not wanting to help out with the kids is that he works hard to support his family, so when he comes home he really doesn't want to be bothered with them.
