Hi everyone,
I realise that this is a controversial thread title, please let me explain before it becomes open season.
I have been reading the threads here for almost a year now and there is a common problem that keeps cropping up. Various men have written in with similar but specific stories about wives of long years who are no longer, or haven't been for a long time, interested in physical intimacy.
Now being the trusting kind that I am, I give the benefit of the doubt to these guys that they have tried to be loving and supportive of their wives through the early years after childbirth etc and take at face value that these women just think that you can block off one form of marital sharing and yet their marriage will be fine.
I'm not yet cynical enough to suggest that these men are merely trying to justify cheating.
If this is true, I don't understand women at all (and I am one). Now I have been through one marriage breakdown and I am in a six year relationship now that is successful (so far). One thing I have learned is that no matter how much love, no matter how compatible, you still have to work at it.
Women are only too quick to insist that husbands pull their socks up if they don't help around the house, or get counselling if they have anger management issues. Women run off to the doctor if they have a pain here or there, they take preventative health care seriously, and yet otherwise intelligent and whole women are denying sex to their husbands en-masse and thinking that their husband's just have to accept that. What's more they think their marriages will just survive.
I just find it so difficult to understand a woman who will not work with her husband to find a solution to a problem that puts a strain on the success of their marriage.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, and I mean not to offend any of the fine women on this board who obviously do not fall into the above category.
Love
