[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the scenario. DH mad because we fight too much. All our fights probably stem with me- him prioritizing his friends, no affection, sex about 10 times in the past 5 years. In our 40s, 2 kids. If I can [b]truly[/b] accept that we are roommates and co-parents only, I think I can release all the pent up anger and resentment I feel.

Is it worth it to keep the family in place, and accept that I may never have intimacy in my life again? We got married in our 30s so maybe I should accept that part of my life is over? We are in therapy, and this is the only conclusion I have been able to draw. Unfortunately, he has very little sex drive so I don't see that being on the table again. Maybe on my birthday or something if I beg. I just hate the idea of ripping my family apart because I'm so needy.

And it won't be easy to accept, but I think I can do it. I guess my question is, should I? Affairs outside of the marriage are out of the question. [/quote]

Did he convince you that you're too needy? You beg for sex? Honey.... no. Open marriage or divorce. You need love, connection, companionship, intimacy, and sex. That isn't needy. That is having needs. And that is natural and good.[/quote]
