Well this scenario is a serious problem. My husband and I went through something similar, not quite this bad, a few years ago. After about 8 sessions of marriage counseling, everything was back to normal in our lives and back to getting along and lots of sex again.

However, anyone who lives like this and doesn't seek help should probably be divorced, this is no way to live. If a couple does not divorce or seek counseling and continues to live this way ~ I DO NOT condone cheating at all ~ but if this is how your living I would think that neither spouse could really blame or get upset with the other spouse for cheating.

No one should have to go without sex from their spouse, this is no way to live ~ unless neither spouse wants sex at all from their spouse or anybody.

Sorry, but not all married people cheat.

Some of us have self respect and dignity.

I'm single, but every male friend I have that's married claims they get sex less often now that they're hitched. One guy in particular lived with his girlfriend for years, having two children with her along the way. Then right after they got married her sex drive went down to almost nothing.


Here's an interesting link from the Times that discusses this very subject:

What's up with that???

So, do men prefer to settle down with less sexually (frigid) types? This seems to be the norm?
So what brings these people together? Did he have a fat wallet sticking out the back of his jeans? Did she wear a nice padded bra? Did the relatives say she was a nice girl?

I am really curious about this, because obviously, marriage isn't about sex at all.

I think the question for the guy would be, why does your wife not want to sleep with you?
Men shouldn't expect to treat their wives poorly (no respect, friendship, affection etc) and still expect their wives to "preform".
They also shouldn't expect their wives to go out and work all day then come home, cook dinner, clean up, take care of the kids etc. That is another cause for a woman to not want sex.
Also another cause could be a hormone imbalance or feeling in a rut. If a woman doesnt feel good about herself she is much less likely to want to have sex.

Most women stop or cut back on having sex with their husbands because the are not getting what they need from their spouse.

I have never cheated on a SO. Never have...never will. Maybe if they brought back stoning for those commiting adultry...cheaters might think twice. Cheaters are scum of the earth.
And I most certainly would not marry for sex. I would marry as an act of love and commitment to her alone. It's a bond between two people and about as close as one can become to another. And with the love and commitment I would think sex should be a part of that closeness. If these people are getting married and then sex is reduced to nothing...I'd say there are problems and issues that need to be addressed concerning the marriage. Perhaps they should never have gotten married. The last thing two people should do is get married just because they have sex.

It's about Love. It's pretty simple really, people make it much more complicated than it has to be.

Never, never, ever, ever met a man who was looking for love.

As the others have said not all married people cheat. Maybe it is people such as yourself that have led to the down fall of marriage.

I agree with you, cheating is terrible. It is betrayal, a lie. I don't believe someone can have a foot in 2 different camps.
