[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see your point pp (don't necessarily agree though), but I would contend that it's not even as simple as something like one partner wants kids and the other doesn't. It seems more like they both agree and [b]one changes their mind a few years into the marriage. [/b]Most of these stories of low drive spouses don't start off as mismatched couples. They seem to start off on the same page, then [b]one partner changes their mind. Kind of like bait and switch.[/b] [/quote]

NP here.  I am now entirely convinced that not only do you not grasp analogy, but that you have not been married for a long time (15+ years).

You are most likely a male -- thought some females do use the "bait/switch" terminology.

Sorry to burst your bubble. You're wrong on all counts. [/quote]

There's no point arguing with someone who frames this as "changing their mind." Like you decided one thing, then decided the opposite. If someone thinks that's all it is--and you could just change your mind back, except you don't want to-- then you might be better off divorced, because this person is not mature enough to handle a long term relationship which will have ups and downs. (That's why they are mentioned so prominently in the marriage vows--better or worse, sickness and in health, richer or poorer....). If they think you're a bad spouse for having less frequent sex after 10 years, this is not a person you want to count on when the real shit happens. [/quote]
