[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

A comedian once said everything in life is about sex. Except sex, which is about power.

People who withhold sex and affection in a marriage are asserting a power over their spouse by denying the one thing their spouse needs and can't ethically get elsewhere. They know their spouse probably won't divorce over it if they have kids. That's part of the reason people have such rapid reactions to infidelity. It shifts the power to the denied spouse and forces the withholding spouse to choose between divorce and staying with a cheater.[/quote]

Except those who regularly sleep with a spouse who cheats.[/quote]

Will you please stop derailing SEXLESS MARRIAGE threads with your purple spotted unicorn 0.0000001% case of the husband who cheats despite sex 5X per week plus BJs on demand?

First time I posted that, and I believe it is more common than you think. I’ve known a few people in that situation. [/quote]
