[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a bit tragic but not uncommon, I don't think, to have spouses who generally try to do right by each other, who are basically competent adults, and who try to carry a fair share of the load when it comes to running the family but who, nevertheless, find themselves in a situation with a libido mismatch. It's not particularly fair to make a woman feel like she has to have sex that she doesn't want to have, and it's not particularly fair to expect a man to be nearly sexless for the rest of his life. An open marriage won't work for most folks. They still love each other & divorce is problematic for a variety of reasons. Sometimes there simply are no good options, and it doesn't have to be anyone's fault. [/quote]

This is true.  My wife is a great person, but totally lost her libido for years.  She would cry about it.  I pulled my weight, it wasn't me.  We were just horribly mismatched.

I wish I had a happy story to share.  I cheated with a woman in a similar situation.  It went on for a while and fizzled out.  Fast forward a decade, her libido has returned somewhat, mine has decreased and we are doing amazing.

It's not a popular choice, but my advice to OP is to do what he needs to do to stay married and sane.[/quote]
