Would you marry knowing your spouse wouldn't sleep with you after a few years?

Lots of people post here about how they are angry or hurt by their spouse and refuse to sleep with them any longer. I don't understand why, unless there are young children at home, anyone would stay if they felt this way.

Did you believe when you get married that you'd be okay with someone forcing involuntary celibacy on you when you made your vows? If not, why do you think it's okay for your to impose celibacy on your spouse?

Nope.

This is the plight of most of the men that I know well enough for them to share aspects of their personal lives with me. They made a commitment and hope the woman they fell in love with will return to the body of the woman they are married to.

One of my friends actually admitted that their dead bedroom was his doing after catching his wife cheating while he was traveling for work. He just couldn’t stomach being with her, but was scared he would lose the ability to see his young kids. Marriage seems to be a death sentence for men these days.

For some women, it becomes painful during menopause. I mean really, really painful.

They have no idea this is going to happen. What would you have them do.

Life and marriage are stressful enough. Adding perfectly matched libidos forever to the list of requirements in a partner just makes marriage not seem worth it.

I think marriage only really works between people who are able to adapt and accept the changes life brings. Many relationships are able to handle the good times but not the bad. I don't know if it's because we are inherently selfish and ultimately mostly care about our own pleasure and point of view.
