[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. I feel just as bad for her as for the guys in sexless marriages. If you have a kink, playing around the edges probably isn’t enough to scratch that itch. Just like the guys who want 4x a week aren’t going to be satisfied when the wife compromises and puts out once a week. It sucks because one person basically holds all the cards and can dole out whatever they want and the other person has to take it and smile. If they try to discuss solutions, they’re treated like they acted on their worse impulses, when their only crime was honesty. [/quote]

I'm the person you replied to, and I swear I'm not trying to be overly judgmental even though it came off that way.  I just have a pretty black/white view of this sort of thing as far as commitment goes.  You either stick with it or end things properly.  I suppose it is easier for me to feel this way having a wife who feels the same way, and is sexually compatible, etc.

Understanding that we're only getting his side of the story, I still don't equate this with the sexless marriage complaints.  In this case, he admitted this side of her (the kink, etc.) was surprising to him but from what I could gather, he was making an effort to meet her needs there, and it still wasn't enough for her.  But at least he's been giving it a shot, which is more than you hear from most.  I'm not feeling much sympathy for the wife here, absent her side of the whole thing.
