[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W here and I did option 1, with the spinoff of falling in love with AP. I'm filing for divorce and so is AP. He couldn't last in his sexless marriage either. Life is too short to spend it with someone with such drastically different life priorities. It wasn't just the lack of sex, it was lack of companionship and feeling loved. We're both so much happier and very excited for our future. [/quote]

Do you have kids and if so, how old?

I’m in the same boat, chose option 1 but haven’t taken the leap to actually leave. If I didn’t have young kids, I’d be gone and marry AP.[/quote]

I have kids, AP does not. He's leaving more due to lack of sex, as he's in a low conflict marriage. They lost their emotional bond over the years when his wife decided she didn't want to have sex any longer. They became roommates, and he couldn't imagine living another 40-50 years with a platonic roommate wife. He wanted more and she was never going to change. She's a narsicist and too self absorbed to understand their relationship is broken. She was blindsided by the initiation of the divorce, but shouldn't have been since they hadn't had sex in years. She still has no idea about the affair.

My situation is much different. H is verbally abusive and has untreated depression.  We haven't had sex bc he is depressed and I don't want to have sex with someone that treats me like sh1t.  He yells profanities at me, throws things at me, and spits on me in front of our children. If my kids see me in a healthy, loving relationship with soneone who loves and respects me, it will be for the better. Sexless marriage is only one reason I'm divorcing H. [/quote]

Thanks for answering...my marriage is like your AP’s and with young kids, hard to leave. [/quote]
