[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was married for 25 years. We had the natural decrease in frequency with busy lives and kids. As the kids got older, it got worse not better and eventually we were having sex once or twice a year. Whenever I'd bring it up he'd say I just didn't understand men's sex drives and he was tired or stressed. I certainly wondered if he was having an affair or gay but neither explanation seemed to fit. This was just one of many strains on the marriage and I stopped trying because the emotional intimacy was also gone. 
After four years of no sex, he revealed that he'd been repeatedly raped by a family member as a child. I never suspected this. He was also struggling with depression. I often wonder a h/o sexual abuse is one of the causes of dead bedrooms. From what I've read, it's not uncommon for people who were abused as children to function well until they have kids of their own and the stresses of middle age hit.
Hope this isn't the case with your husband but wanted to point out that there are other possibilities besides him being gay.[/quote]

LOL you fell for that?

Gay guys use that "I was abused" excuse all the time as an excuse.[/quote]
