[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Female. 
I think the children know especially during covid from the very different sleep schedules, open bedroom door, and small townhouse with no extra rooms. There are no hugs, no handholding, no rubs on the back to acknowledge my presence. This has been going on for over 10 years. It's so embarrassing. I can't talk about it with anyone. I am so ashamed to be in this situation. [/quote]

What's shameful about it?[/quote]

NP here and it's completely embarrassing to admit you are in a sexless marriage.  It's hard enough to admit it as a man, but at least men have company, since many marriemen are sex starved and it's the most common compliant among long term married men (and an abundance of old jokes and Hollywood themes on this).

For women, it's different since men are expected to always want it.  My friends will talk about how their husbands want sex all the time and how annoying it is when men expect it at the worst moments yet I married the dude who is happily celibate[/quote]

I understand this well. And even when you try to talk to friends about it it becomes a conversation about sex tips. I have serious skills, he’s low T and uninterested in rectifying that. It’s humiliating enough without friends offering seduction advice....yeah I know how to do all of that too, I married in my 30s and have life experiences. Grrrr [/quote]

Sorry to hear that.  When men share their rejection stories, it's a "join the club, dude" or "how about a Costa Rica or Vegas guys trip and you can pay for it?"

It's widespread for men to be rejected sexually by their spouse.  I had a close friend who was a paid escort and she said almost all of her clients were men 35-50 and married.[/quote]
