[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife here ... not sure how other wives get away with no having sex even though they don't want to. I don't want to, but I feel it is kind of a requirement of staying married.[/quote]

Same. It’s kind of like a weekly chore I mentally check off.[/quote]

DH here.  I get the lack of desire for sex, but why the deprivation of all physical affection?  As the OP wrote:  “ She’s not mean or uncaring, but makes anything more than a peck on the lips or chaste hug feel like an imposition. Even casual physical affection (holding hands, playful grabbing, whatever) is pretty much gone. ”

Shouldn’t a DW hate herself for being so standoffish to her DH who loves her?  (Assuming that they both want to stay married, and that one spouse hasn’t gone to seed.)[/quote]

Female desire is largely responsive and she isn't going to respond to you because you are familiar.  It's not that she doesn't want to be playful but being playful might lead to you wanting to have sex which she doesn't want to have more than once per week to check the box.  It's not you.  Try not to take it personally.

Your options are 1) try to compromise on once a week sex and don't expect much from her on the weekly scheduled time; 2) be celibate which will be fine by her, or 3) cheat/divorce.[/quote]
