[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If OP is willing to perform sexual acts with another man that she is not willing to do with her husband and actually does do so, then she has no basis for objecting to her husband wanting and filing for divorce.[/quote]

Because the whole basis of rebuilding a marriage that includes a family with two children is sex. Gotchya.[/quote]

Have you been under a rock for the last 30 or so years?  No, the whole basis of rebuilding a marriage is not just sex, but it's been shown over and over again that relationships with healthy sex lives that meet both parties needs are the most stable.  Those that have imbalance where at least one person feels deprived are strained or end in divorce.  No only is there an imbalance of what each partner wants here, OP has destroyed the sexual relationship between them, has shown that she has interest in sex, but not with her partner.  Most healthy people who have sexual interests outside of their marriage either divorce/separate first to have those sexual interests answered or they choose not to engage in those sexual interests.  But to do so, covertly, [u]for 2.5 years[/u] and then be unwilling to do such acts with her husband is more than just betrayal, but also rejection of him as a partner.  She is the one who has ended their marriage, but she wants him to have a marriage in name just for her benefit and not for his.[/quote]
