[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly doubt a marriage can be "great" but "increasingly platonic."  For example, my marriage works on a lot of levels but my DW's sex drive is non-existent and we go weeks without sex.  During these droughts, there is absolutely nothing about our marriage I would describe as either great or even functional.  In fact, it becomes cold and awkward with this weird interaction where we just act distant.  I truly don't know how others cope with this but I can't imagine the marriage without sex resembles anything other than awkward (unless neither party wants sex).

There are basically three options for these so-called platonic marriages: 1) find a way to get in the mood, 2) turn a blind eye or have an agreement on an open marriage, or 3) be miserable.  There is no fourth option on "great" and you are delusional if you think your partner thinks he is in a great marriage.

OP, use your big girl words, advocate for what you need. [/quote]

“Weeks” is not a long time without sex. Many months or years is bad. “Weeks” is still really good![/quote]

You can't reason with the cheaters or open marriage people. There are reasons they are unhappy and it's looking at them in the mirror, lol.[/quote]
14 days and you can’t find 30 minutes to share an O with your spouse? WTF how can you call that “really good”? And during that time how many hours do you waste on DCUM and FB and YouTube? Given your phone is more important than your spouse, why wouldn’t you expect him to find normal satisfaction elsewhere?[/quote]
