[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^so I guess there’s no compromise on this situation.  No matter what the wife does, it’s not good enough.

It seems like it’s not as simple as men make it out:  keep to same frequency as during early part of marriage and no cheating.  Now there are additional conditions placed on the wives.    It’s all wives who have to compromise.
Women have to maintain sex frequency/sex enthusiasm/kids/home/social planning/career.  I mean expectations of women are unsustainable.  I mean why should women even try since they’re set up to fail.[/quote]

Well, speaking only for me, I don't expect we would keep up the daily sex we had when we were dating. Even once a week would be fine and evening every other time there was a genuine enthusiasm that would be great.  Like, tell me what you want to do in bed, fantasies, maybe lingerie on occasion. I don't think this is unrealistic.

But yeah, it's hard to compromise when one person wants it never and the other sometimes. Marriage counselor says the top two reasons for divorce are sex and money.  Dan Savage has made a huge living advising people to lay off the strict monogamy if you want your marriage to last.

If your DH wanted it never, but was willing to hold a toy against you, while he yawned, would you find it satisfying?[/quote]
