[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a core group of men and women on this forum whose entire existence is around sex. I really hate then. Everything about them is sex sex sex. I don't know if they are this way because they are in a sexless marriage, or they are sex addict, or just mentally ill. Sex isn't everything in a relationship. [/quote]

Sex is absolutely the most important part of a marriage.  It is the core part of the human experience.  I'm sorry that you don't feel that way.[/quote]

Some of us think love is the core part of the human experience.[/quote]

And some of us haven’t completely separated the two of our heads. If you read Helen Fischer’s work, you will find that LOVE hormones get released during sex as well as hugging, breastfeeding etc. I happen to express love through physical contact and I feel loved when DH have sex regularly. Of course if he simply couldn’t do it for some reason, I wouldn’t leave but if he WOULDN’T, I’d feel very lonely and unloved and I’d probably consider whether our love was as solid as I’d thought.

[b]Shaming people because they find sex to be a core way people who love each [/b]other communicate is not the flex you think it is. [/quote]

Yes, I feel this way too. Also I agree with the poster who says that sex is the most important part of marriage. [b]Everything else I can get outside of the marriage… Emotional support, companionship, friendship,… even massages just to feel touch. Anything I need except for sex[/b].

Although yes, I won’t technically die without sex, not having it, especially when I’m spending so much time with someone who is supposed to love me, has an effect on my emotions, mood, self-esteem, everything. For them to turn around and say, just because I’m not that interested, you should suffer, does not feel like love. The only things that put a dent in this feeling have been being in the pill (ironically) and actually being pregnant or breast-feeding. During my pregnant and breast-feeding years… when DH was still higher drive, I put out a lot more than I really had desire to. I took one for the team many nights, so to speak. Because I understood how important it was. It’s hurtful that the favor is not being returned. [/quote]

Sex is the easiest thing to get outside of marriage. The other things, not easily.

It's not a score board. I'm sure your spouse does many things for the marriage. Divorcing or cheating over one thing is beyond crazy. Talk and try to compromise. Maybe there are things you don't do that fail to meet his expectations.

You sound immature and you may end your own marriage by doing something stupid. [/quote]
