[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted this article and it really hit home, particularly this passage:

[b] "To them, their wives treat sex as a chore and lack all enthusiasm about it. Men internalise that disinterest as, “I’m not good enough” and “I’m a disappointment.” They feel undervalued not only as a sexual partner, but as a person."[/b]

I have cheated on my wife 2x in short term affairs over our 18 year marriage. It really does seem to stem from her treating sex as a chore, an infrequent one at that, and no matter how many conversations I have, nothing changes. Is there a way to learn to accept this or does it always end in cheating? Any men out there that did therapy that helped?

But….they are not good enough and are a disappointment. When I lose interest in sex with H, it’s because he’s more interested in his phone or watching sports than in engaging with the family and doing basic adult tasks. Most men act like teenage boys once they’re married, and most adult women are not sexually interested in teenage boys. When H starts acting like a husband and father, my drive comes back and is often higher than his.

Honestly, this makes me roll my eyes. Every woman I know has felt undervalued as a wife and person, and their husbands treat married and family life as a chore and lack all enthusiasm. Dudes should think about practicing what they preach, if they want enthusiasm and to feel valued, lead by example rather than nagging. [/quote]
