[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My wife has no interest in sex with anyone and is clear that I cannot have anyone else.[/b]  As with the other dad, I love seeing my kids daily and I'm the one that is the primary caregiver.  My situation sounds pretty much like his. Not great but it could be worse[/quote]
If your wife met someone she was strongly attracted to, she just might want sex with that other person. She may not have the same physical needs as you, but if she were to meet someone she feels that attraction for, I'm betting she would want sex with him.

I think the issue here is that men disassociate sex from everything else in the relationship and women don't.    She wants you to be faithful even as she doesn't want sex with you for whatever reason - it could be low libido or resentment, and everything in between.

Seems that for many men, fidelity can only be given if they have regular sex.

Women and men really do not speak the same language.

Women don't seem to understand that in order for the man to feel loved and connected to the woman, he needs to have sex with her.

Men don't seem to understand that in order for a woman to want to have sex with you, she has to like you and have some physical/emotional attraction to you.

For many on here, it seems that they are in a catch 22 situation.[/quote]

If she found someone that she wanted to have sex with, I would be open to it[/quote]
