i see other women on the side for a friendship with benefits
type of relationship. I very surprised to hear that from then, but
the idea has me very interested.
So with this in mind, where do you find married looking for married?
Are there are dating sites for the married?
I have exhausted all ideas to get my wife to open up!!!
We actually sleep in different rooms.
This could be a marriage wrecker, but what am i suppose to do?
I can't leave the kids are why too young and could never
do that to them.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Why do you assume that you have to leave the kids? Ask her to leave.

I don't assume that and would never don't that to my kids.
Anyways, i can't leave the wife and see the kids on weekends
or even me having full cusody. THey are better suited with both
parents under a good family lifestyle.
Sure i pretend to be happy, but no one else knows that except
me. I guess that is my problem and currently seek a outside
relationship.

You may have to face the wrath of your children if they ever find out. Are you planning on staying with your wife into your senior years? Because even if you divorce after the kids are grown and on their own it will be devastating to them and they will not understand as you have been faking it their whole lives. So I assume you are staying for the kids for the long haul, till death due you part.

What I was trying to say is that even if you stay for the children now but leave your wife when your children are grown, it could devastate them. Divorce is just as hard on adult children and you could end up damaging your relationship with them.

As for your flings, if your kids were to find out they may lose a lot of respect for you and again, you may damage your relationship with them.

I hope this makes more sense. I should be sleeping.

Actually, many family counselors will tell you that adult children are often sympathetic to parents divorcing, particularly if there is just cause underlying the split. If a divorce causes emotional harm to children, I believe the experts say it's generally toughest on kids between the ages of 5 and 18.

Your mistake then. You knew about this beforehand and you married him anyway. You should know better than to think you can "change" something about the person you marry.

You have three options: stay, leave, or get some on the side.

If you are too afraid to leave, and can't get some on the side, then you need to man up (so to speak) and just deal with it. I suggest porn and toys for self-stimulation if you stay. And don't hide them from him.

I can't imagine that's the case when it comes out of the blue. But I don't have any statistics.

I'm in a sexless marriage. My wife has a low sex drive but that's not the reason why we have a sexless marriage. We haven't had traditional sex in well over a year now. She has severe back problems and scoliosis. If her shoulders are flat on the bed then her hips are turned and vise versa. If she's on top it causes pain in her hips and back. I do masterbate her but she now stops me before achieving full orgasms due to the intense pain it causes her afterwards from the muscle spasms in her back and hips. So until there is a miracle cure we have to settle for hugs, kisses, caresses, and masterbation. If you truly love someone then not having sex isn't that important.
