Ok, it's confusing to understand your problem.

Are you into some kind of sex he does not participate in? What is this chemistry you seek, ask yourself. Maybe the folks here can help with the advice accordingly

Elizabeth,

What will you do if you leave your husband and then find the expectations you have are not going to happen with any man? You have left a good man for a bad reason. It isn't totally his fault that smoke and rockets don't go off for you. It isn't his fault that you are not happy. You make your own happiness. I suspect you can also learn how the have multiple orgasms, one after another until you have 5 or 6 in a row. Yeah, that is possible and any woman that can do that will tell you what a wonderful experience it is. I'm not much for therapists, but I think that is your best bet. Your life, and your happiness are what you make it. Get busy and find out what you need to be happy.

I dunno. I think while it's great to have the butterflies and sexual chemistry, if there's other aspects in your relationship which is love, respect and humor then that's more important.

I think sometimes people read or watch too many romantic movies.

I wouldn't leave your marriage just for the butterflies or the sexual chemistry.

Mistakes such as not being realistic.

Marriage isn't about warm fuzzy feelings or any of that. It is nice and feels good it is a **** poor basis for a lifelong or even a long term relationship.

Happiness is your own responsibility and your own choosing. That being said, good communications skills is paramount and needed.

Leaving because you no longer have butterflies is really weak.

Sometimes the grass really is greener, it depends on how bad the abuse is. I was sexually neglected for like 6 months and my ex and I got divorced because I was so depressed about it and met a wonderful woman about a month after my ex left.

the butterflys and all that are not always there but as long as you are eager to take care of each other and their needs is whats important, at least for me.

Even when there's sexual chemistry, the butterflies eventually go away. So you'll be right back where you are now in a matter of time. Then what? Do it all again?

If there is abuse or cheating then yes, bail.

I would say you need to talk to him about having an open marriage. He might be excited about the idea that he gets to sleep with other women, and you might have what you are looking for with someone you think is hot and still not destroy the marriage right off.
