[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't think she's cheating. I think she just doesn't want to have sex with me. And we're still both reasonably attractive. We're not movie stars but nobody's gained a ton of weight or suddenly become ugly. [/quote]

Same boat as you.  No PIV sex for past few years, we are still both attractive and in reasonable shape.  I'm pretty sure she is not cheating, but is an effect of [b]cancer that kind of ravaged her body and medications that suppress her hormones[/b].  No current cancer concerns, but there are lingering effects. We do other things a few times a month, but not nearly enough.  I've been a good husband so far, and we've talked about it, but she doesn't put any effort into changing things.  I'll give it another 2 years and hope for the best, I do love her.  I don't think I'd ever divorce her because of this, we love each other and our daughter.  Just wish she would either work on things, or give me a green light to fulfill this need outside our marriage, maybe with a professional or sugar relationship, but not an affair partner.  I travel for work enough, that it would never be an issue that we'd run into someone in Fairfax, I could just find someone in Chicago, Atlanta, etc...  F@%K Cancer.[/quote]

I've been in your shoes and I feel for you both.  Cancer stole that away from her and the hormone suppressing drugs means she is in a chemically induced menopause which has probably taken away all her desire for sex, if not made it painful and difficult if she does allow it.  I get that you need some kind of relief, but in your case, I wouldn't pressure her about something that is beyond her control.  Yes, [b]F&%K Cancer[/b] in the a$$ with no lube.  Indeed, it sucks and, unless you've been there, you have no idea.[/quote]
