I honestly don't think I will leave my husband just because sex is not great anymore. But I know men perhaps think otherwise.
No one likes to be ignored though. Does a guy want to be known by his friends as the guy who has to rub one out because his wife won't even take a shower with him home?
Please do not take it as gender bashing. I respect women because I am one of them.
I think it usually is women who withdraw sex after marriage simply because SOME women's sex drive is not as high as men.
I definitely didn't see this as gender-bashing, so don't worry.
Certainly this can happen. However, frequently, I have seen (and have personally experienced) the husband dropping off sharply on the romance (NOT talking about gifts or anything material...just attention), then say, "Why doesn't my wife want sex any more?" The reason: Because you no longer treat her as anything special. At all. But you turn over in the night and expect her to perform.
Not all people are mechanical. Not all of us can still get turned on when there's no foreplay of any kind -- physical, intellectual or emotional.
And yes, all to often, as soon as that ring goes on the finger, the "I don't need to 'try' any more" kicks right in.

And no, I wouldn't divorce him because of lack of sex. I can take it or leave it (though I have PMS now...so ask me again in 2 weeks...LOL).
