[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re willing to break up your kids’ home so you can get laid, it says a lot about who you are as a person and why perhaps your spouse doesn’t want sex with you in the first place. [/quote]

It says you are a normal person who desires sex with their spouse, which is natural, admirable, and indeed the basis of the marital contract.

The person who broke up the kids home... is the person denying sex to their spouse, not the person who leaves.[/quote]

Yes. If you sign up for a monogamous married relationship, you agree to have regular sex with your husband. If you don't, you are ruining the marriage.[/quote]

[b]Because if your spouse doesn’t shower, or abuses you verbally or physically, or is just plain bad in bed, it’s your fault that you aren’t attracted to them, and not theirs?[/b]

What is this, the Middle Ages?

I thought we had moved beyond the mentality where you could beat your wife and then demand sex without any introspection on your part.[/quote]

I was none of these things, and was still cut off, and pushed away from any affection at all.  I also did most of the housework and earned most of the money.

My girlfriend is thrilled I'm divorced.  She doesn't play any of the games that the ex did.

So you generalize from your own anecdote to all relationships everywhere and make all-encompassing pronouncements about all marriages?[/quote]

I'm not generalizing to all, but I know quite a few men who bailed out of long-term marriages because their wives broke.  One friend was 10 years older, he could predict with certainty why my wife, and then ex-wife, would do next because he'd lived it.  I know several others now who have gone through the same thing.

Yes, you are generalizing based on your own anecdote.

Could you point out where exactly I generalized?  I don't see it.  I've seen a lot of women in this thread generalize, but I haven't. [/quote]

I think everybody is tired of playing with you, troll.[/quote]
