[quote=Anonymous]I think sexless vs loveless is completely different.

My best friend married the love of her life. Childhood best friends, high school sweethearts and they married at 24. I feel like you could have written a Nicholas Sparks book about them. At 26 he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and it also messed with his heart. The meds he has to take mean he can’t ever have sex again (can’t get hard). They both really struggled that year but obviously realized their lives would never be better with someone else. They even had to do IUI to conceive their kids. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who knows and she says it was a hard blow but they’re really happy (we’re late 30s). They’re sweet to each other and I do see them kissing and holding hands. Not sure I could live sexless forever.

Both my parents and my in-laws (and all 4 sets of our grandparents) led wonderful marriages. I think being around so many different but functioning and loving marriages really prepared us. I didn’t feel like I was lied to about how hard marriage was. All my cousins and siblings are in good marriages too. I briefly dated a guy who wanted to argue and scream. Nope. I knew that wasn’t what I wanted in a partner. I felt like I always knew just what I wanted and I saw that in Dh. He felt the same way. [/quote]
