I would ask that he not let me know that this was happening, and that it not affect our marriage (as in, that it be sex and not a relationship).

I would assume this to be a permanent problem I had, of course. Temporary one? Noooooo...

But, if we could preserve our marriage otherwise, I might consider looking the other way. I would not want to know the particulars or have it intrude on our family, though.

I would not like it, but I would not expect my spouse to go without any sort of sex life if I was rendered permanently unable to have a sexual relationship with him.

Pretty much this.

Sleeping with someone and having sex with someone are two completely different actions.


Personally I would not be with someone who did not speak their vows and mean them.
If either spouse is going to cheat just because they can't have sex for whatever reason it isn't a real marriage or commitment.

I'm not in the position to *allow* grown ass adults to do anything.

Yes, but we're not really on great terms right now. I feel like if we felt the same as we did in the beginning, I wouldn't want it to happen as I would have felt jealousy then.

I don't understand how you couldn't have any form of sex with your partner... I mean, you got hands and a mouth...so...

"Allow"? I don't own her. But it is something I would prefer she avoid. It would hurt me greatly.

I wouldn't allow her to do anything because she has her free will but I can stop dating her or divorce her. Cheating is unforgivable to me.

We discussed this early on in our relationship. If we want to stay together but one can't have sex, the other can get it elsewhere. We have an open relationship agreement should the need arise. We've also had a semi-open relationship for 16 years just because we both value occasional sexual variety. It has worked well for us, and we can veto someone if there is a real problem.

I don't have a spouse so I can't say for sure, but my belief is that certain people can't resist cheating even if you are meeting their needs. So if I still wanted or needed that person in my life for whatever reason, I would try to deal with their cheating. If I didn't want or need them for anything, then goodbye.
