[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, tried that, for quite a while. Still didn't change anything. Honestly, at this point the answer is probably divorce. We're all so much more relaxed and happy (including the kids) when my husband is traveling for work, it's probably for the best. No one else's needs matter more than what he wants, and that's exhausting to live with. Would it be nice to meet someone eventually that I enjoy being with? Sure. But I think I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than keep living like this.[/quote]

And this response is equivalent to a man who feels he's tried all the romance and non-sexual stuff (as suggested by his wife) with little improvement in the frequency of intimacy.  When one partner feels they are trying to improve the relationship and still not getting their needs met, its very easy, perhaps inevitable, to throw up ones hands and give up.  [/quote]

Of course, and I was never addressing men who tried and didn't get a response. Let's remember where the thread started, with an OP who was upset that his wife would get mad when he asked for more sex, but who never came back around to answer questions about whether he had any understanding of why she was upset or what else might be going on. He just wanted more sex and didn't seem to care about the rest of it.[/quote]

Fair point.  I assumed you were the PP who said a guy should fundamentally change his motivation for intimacy (stop thinking of the vagina) and that's the key to a woman's heart.  Personally, I feel like I've tried that over and over with little to no result.  It sounds like you've tried with your husband with little to no result.  It just sucks not having your needs met and your spouse doesn't seem to care.

Maybe I'm just an idiot for still hoping things will get better.  I've thought about divorce when our youngest is off to college in 3 years.  I'll probably see if things are better in a year and if not, start my exit strategy.  [/quote]
