[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to laugh at these cheaters who think they're saving a marriage that their sexless wives want to stay in. 
I know a lot of women who don't have sex with their husbands. Most of them aren't sexless; they just aren't attracted to their husbands anymore and/or they resent them because they make less money and do less than half of the housework and child care. They're waiting until the kids are older to divorce, stockpiling money, and often having affairs as well. (They're just more discreet about them because they don't need the ego boost of telling everyone). Some are clueless, have no self-esteem and think that everything is fine, but they are few and far between. [/quote]

Yes, we know. Most sexless wives have lost attraction for their husband. Some (but not many) of those women are also cheating. 
So what? That does not change anything from the denied husband's perspective. He's not getting sex at home, therefore he must get that elsewhere.

Nothing you said in any way refutes my statement: " His affair is saving the marriage that his sexless wife wants to stay in (otherwise SHE would divorce)." 
His affair is necessary to keep him from divorcing. Sexless wife who does not file obviously wants to remain married.

What was your point PP?[/quote]

We’ve been married for 30 years.  I know my wife very well.  She’s very content with our relationship/marriage and I don’t think she would even leave me if she found out about my affair.

The point is that the "sexless" wife usually doesn't actually want to be married. She's waiting for a more practical or beneficial time to divorce. And yet these cheaters act like they're doing their wives a favor by sticking around.

You think you know her so well but don't think she has any idea that you're having an affair? You clearly think she's an idiot.

She likely knows that you're cheating and is relieved that you're not bothering her for sex and/or already hates you so much that she doesn't care. If she's not plotting to divorce you when the timing is more beneficial for her and the kids, it's not because she's so devoted to you, it's because she doesn't care about you and it makes more financial/social sense to stay married.

I know you say that your marriage is great apart from the sex, but you very clearly have no respect for your wife if you think she's this much of a doormat. [/quote]
