Not sure where you got no sex for “years” from. I did not say that. I said no sex for one year, then I asked DH to move out and I ended the marriage. Are you saying men cannot go without sex for a year? Really? I mean it wasn’t pleasant, but it was possible. One year without sex wasn’t so horrifying that I had to cheat on him. |
Respectfully, you are dishing out marital advice when by your own admission, your route led to divorce. Nothing wrong with that, some marriages need to end. But for those of us who need to maintain a marriage, at least for the short term, your advice is useless. I get it now, your evangelical zeal for brutal honesty even if it leads to divorce seems to be an effort to get others to join into the divorce pool. Why does it bug you so much if complete strangers use infidelity to manage short term libido gaps in the hopes to salvage a marriage over the long term? Figure out the answer to that before dispensing advice. |
This is actually a good illustration between those with a strong sex drive and those without. A year without sex is crippling for most marriages and few would survive. That you see it as something to toy, something, like say, going to the beach, is why you are talking past the people you are offering advice to. For many people, and most men specifically, having your spouse reject you sexually for a year would be like having your spouse completely ignore you for a year. It's not possible to get past that (unless there is a medical reason for no sex). Sex was and still is optional for you. Even if it's something you enjoy, it's not something you need. And that's ok, different strokes for different folks. |
That's not exactly a happy ending. |
Woman here. No way could I go a year with no sex! Horrible! |
If a year went by with no sex, and no hope for sex in the future, what would you do if the marriage was good otherwise and you did not want to divorce? |
100% believe Ashley Madison. The people of that website designed to break up two families instead of one should die slow painful deaths. |
What if the cheated on wife goes crazy ?
Nobody ever thinks of that scenario. They assume she is a doormat. Often, they are very strong women that cheater is afraid of. Some make it a long-term mission to destroy both spouse and AP. The smart ones know how to lie low and poke and strike when they are least expecting it.
Why do the two cheaters get off free?? Often when one spouse finds out, the affair is ended and the AP partner is set free with no worries and does not have to suffer the damage that the innocent party she inflicted this damage on is going through. That is unacceptable. He/She should be forced to pay consequences. Even marriage counselors highly recommend telling the clueless spouse because his/her health and family safety is being put in jeopardy. |

Draft a post-nuptial agreement that gives you most everything---if it happens again in any shape or form, or if contact is made with AP. Any time a dating website is accessed, etc. If he/she is sincere, they will sign and work to draft it. If not, they will cut and run. Either way you find out immediately.
Peace of mind for those that don't want to divorce while kids are in the house and then you don't have to have a long divorce...everything has been worked out and stipulated. |

I LOVE you. Yes. Both cheaters need to suffer and pay the consequences for their lies, betrayal, selfishness and time invested in one another vs their own family and spouse. Narcissists. I would love to hear about your plans and for you to check in everyone once in awhile with updates. |

My spouse’s old ugly middle aged non-working AP is in crisis mode deleting all of her social media accounts and internet presence. I love she’s freaking out.
I had all of that info downloaded and saved before confronting her on internet phone call. I have a lot of “fun” in store for her over the next year. She is a repeat Ashley Madison whore. Multiple affairs in her husband’s bed/kids’ home. Never thought she would get caught. |
This seems like a waste of energy to me. But it ain’t my life. *shrug* |
Hell No. It sounds fun and like victory to mentally torment and destroy the marriage of somebody that helped ruin your life, and your kids as well. They destroy both the past and the future of the cheated spouse. Karma will most likely take care of them both and they have to live with themselves on their death beds, but until karma kicks in gotta give a little yourself. If more cheated on spouses did this Ashley Madison would start losing customers. |
| ^ ha. Similar. I even have relatives that want to help. Even my mother-in-law. |
