os and low sex drive. After years of this I’m over it and resentful.  My drive has bottomed out but everywoman I know who was in a sexless marriage had her drive skyrocket as soon as she divorced. Women need more variety, men need convenience. Or read “why we can’t sleep” about how gen c women are super screwed because we have the careers our moms couldn’t have AND we spend twice as much time with our kids as stay at home moms did in the 70s. And we are supposed to stay in shape, not age, have Instagram worthy homes, kids in travel teams And sex at least three times a week for a healthy marriage.   It’s relentless and impossible.

Man here I'm a 15 year marriage that is nearly sexless and has been for years and I agree with what you write.

Really, there is a lot of hurt and blame and goal post shifting but if you back out and stop taking this personally it is mostly just hormones and that most people aren't monogamous. A 20 year husband texting his wife "was thinking of you. How's your day going" isn't going to set her imagination off like a new man she just met post divorce.

The problem is men in general don't lose their drive over time as fast as women. Like PP said,men like convenience, and his wife is convenient but if she was ok with him going elsewhere and it was convenient he would and often does when she refused his advances

Tl;dr it's the hormones and rarely about something someone did. [/quote]
