What does any of this have to do with "people?" I only see talk of ONE specific person in your OP.
While sex is an important component, it's not the ONLY thing that keeps people together. So you mean to tell me, the ONLY reason you have your husband around is to have regular sex? I mean if that's what makes you happy, do you. But be honest with yourself when you answer this question.
Nobody is owed sex, even if you're in a relationship. There are quite a few couples that don't have sex on a regular basis and are fine with that. It's one thing if your sex drives don't match up, it's another when life gets in the way, and people may get caught up. That's still no excuse to cheat. I hate that cop out. "You weren't doing what you were suppose to be doing, so I got it from somewhere else." It's ridiculous as hell.

It's not an excuse for cheating but it could lead to cheating. Or it could indicate something is wrong in the relationship. Life getting in the way of regular sex? Seriously? I mean, seriously?
My marriage went sexless for about six months before the end. She got horny once in that time and after, we just rolled away from each other. I never cheated on her during this time though. For two years after she left I remained loyal to her. Then it became clear it was over and I finally started dating again. But there were times earlier on in our marriage when I wasn't getting enough and I will tell you that I did look at other women although I didn't act on it. So I agree with the OP that one should take care of the love and romance AND SEX in a marriage. However, I will acknowledge that not everybody needs sex and intimacy in their marriage.
In case anyone is reading all this. Just because I am analytical and out spoken I happen to note it appears that just about everyone that responded at this point is female. Also interesting to note the types of females.
I would add more insight based on the information many of these women have chosen to share about themselves but I dontvwan to bring anyone to tears.
I think this level of delusion about the importance of sexual contact in romantic relationship likely explains why websites like Ashley Madison, porn sites and the sex trade industry are so successful. Also could give hints as to why divorce rates are high.
Sexual pleasure/ physical affection is the one free thing you can and in my opinion should want to prove to you partner. Otherwise you have a roommate or a best freind that you just happen to be married too.
This thread was not created to justify anyone cheating but to explore the topic of physical and emotional neglect in a relationship.
Oh in response to any that replies "EW" regarding the topic of sex .... It mighe be past your bed time... if not it is pretty sad that an adult thinks sex is gross. Speaks volumes in fact to problems relating to sexless marriages.
