[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had sex only a few times this year and once in the last three months with hardly ever any other intimacy. After 15 years, we've had a long slow slide that turned into monthly sympathy sex and is now on the verge of total shutdown. I’m so tired of starting and ending each day feeling frustrated and rejected. It impacts my mood and every other aspect of our relationship and life. I’ve tried to talk about it but the conversation always ends with me being labeled as needy, unreasonable, ungrateful and sex-crazed. I tried to accept it and focus on other positive aspects of my life and our relationship but it is so difficult to just shut down what used to be a positive and enjoyable part of life. Yes, I could cheat and have had opportunity but the potential consequences are obvious and will lead to other problems that are far worse.
There is another thread that essentially discusses if sexless is a justification for divorce. I don’t want that either - my spouse and family are too important to me. I need advice and to see if anyone has suggestions on how to cope and try to find happiness without physical intimacy.  I’ve tried but feel I’m at a breaking point of frustration on most days.
