[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been sleeping in guest room for about a year or so.  Started when the youngest would come into our room everynight.  Eventually, I gave up and slept in guest room.  It's fine for now.  My DW has low libido anyway so it gives me a chance to get off in privacy (we have sex once per week).  I wouldn't want this to be forever, either the libido issues or separate bedrooms.  But it works for now and I don't see an adverse effect on the relationship.[/quote]

[b]Once a week is pretty normal, not "low libido".[/quote]

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view), once per week is normal.  Stats show 67% of married couples in their 30s have sex once a week or less, meaning only 1/3rd do it more than once a week.  When you reach your 40s, its only about 20% of married men having sex more than once a week, far more have sex less than once a week.  As a higher libido DH, I find it depressing, but once a week sex is definitely normal. [/quote]

It might be the norm but a healthy sex life is defined by 3 times weekly.[/quote]

The words "healthy" and "normal" seem incredibly subjective to me.  Who's to say what's healthy or normal for any given couple?  I'd posit that healthy and normal is whatever BOTH parties can agree on that makes for a happy marriage.  The problem, as we see played out here on DCUM over and over again is that this is very rare in most marriages.  [/quote]
