[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being married does not mean being celibate. I feel it is quite unreasonable for either partner to downplay or ignore the emotional/sexual needs of the other. If you can’t it won’t fix it, you can divorce, open the marriage or cheat. In the latter case, it’s not fair to call the other person evil b/c they seek elsewhere the comfort you deny. [/quote]

DW who agrees with this. It is cruel to expect your partner to go without sex for years. No one should be ashamed of having basic human needs. Those who wish to remain celibate should not expect to stay in traditionally monogamous marriages.  No one feels like brushing his teeth nightly but we do it because we know it's good for our health. Regular sex -- once per week, at a min -- is good for the relationship health. How can the withholding partner be fine with depriving the other partner? Why can't people sacrifice 15 min for their partner's happiness? Anyone who struggles to do should be in therapy.[/quote]
