[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was you in my mid thirties.  2 kids and husband's interest in sex tapered off to nothing. He recoiled every time I made advances and when I tried to talk about it, he told me that people stop being intimate after they have kids and how he was gaining weight and out of shape.  I also asked to open the marriage, out of desperation, not because I really wanted to, and he said No way.  After 10 years of conversations going nowhere and bringing up divorce and trying all sorts of things, I met someone, developed a huge crush that turned into an affair.  I was so easy to convince to have the affair because I was so desperate for attention and sex.  It ended after 3  years because the AP was single and met someone who he eventually married and had a family with.  I'm still in a sexless marriage, and our marriage is great in every other way. My husband is completely content this way.  If I could go back in time, I would have tried to go to couples therapy, I just didn't know this was a common problem back then. I was always so embarrassed, I thought I was the only one in a sexless marriage, all my friends would complain that their husbands always wanted sex and they were just too tired... I was so jealous!  So that's my advice, try couple's therapy.  [/quote]
