[quote=Anonymous]I'm around the same age as you, OP - 46, almost 47. Husband is the same. We have a pretty much sexless marriage. We are extremely affectionate, that said - just no sex.

My husband has some health problems and also put on about 100 pounds a few years ago. It killed all his desire. I still tried, sometimes, but after enough times of him not being interested I mostly gave up. (Tried again this past weekend, that said - nothing.)

I am 100%, 1000000% confident my husband is not having an affair. I love him very much and do not want to risk our relationship by having an affair myself. I just try to think of this as, he has a disability, and we have an otherwise happy marriage together. Like I said, very affectionate - very loving. Just, no sex.

We've been together about 11 years-ish. First couple of years, lots of sex. Less - but still often enough - for a couple of years after that. Every once in a while for a few years, then. Now it's been almost two years since any sex at all. I hate that, but I love him.

So I guess in my experience, you can survive a marriage like that if you are the one who isn't getting what you want and you are willing to live with it. I don't think it's fair to ask that of someone else, that said, and I think it is pretty selfish to ignore your partner's sexual wants and needs.[/quote]
