Wow what a rut she is in. She knows she has to do the duty sex to keep her life style, but no doubt hopes to be a young widow.

You think she is just entitled to her lifestyle? That when you marry it's his job to ensure your lifestyle to keep you happy and her job, well whatever she feels like? Maybe you entitled slave owner viewpoint is the root of most marriage problems.

Your marriage is destroyed. You are roommates.

Why is everyone so melodramatic? OP, do some fun, new things with your wife. Sometimes people just get bored.

no it does not matter if you do the laundry, or take care of the kids, or take her out to dinner, or do something different. she doesnt care about the marriage. You are not that important to her. been there, get out now. there are other women that will actively take part in a marriage.

It really is that simple, she doesn't care about the marriage OR has zero respect for you. Therapy wont work, you cant "therapy" someone into respect or caring. The only thing that may is if it becomes apparent to her that he is willing to leave or if she sense another woman is a threat because she may be interested in him.

Respect and caring are not the problem. She probably actually does respect and care for him. She doesn't desire him, however. (She would say, as the classic phrase goes, "I love you but I'm not in love with you".) You can't therapy her into desiring you, either, so don't waste your time with that.

The only solution is for him to become much more attractive. Lift, dress better, re-learn how to flirt with women (and practice this on wife). She'll think he has the option to leave her for another woman; this will either cause her desire for him to increase, in which case deadbedroom problem solved, or it won't, and he can pull the plug on her and get another woman, in which case deadbedroom problem also solved.

Agree 100% with all you wrote except what is in bold. No way she respects him, a wife is not going dead bedroom if they respect their spouse. Not going to happen. It is a clear indicator of: I don't think you have the balls to leave or no one else would want you. 10 to 1 odds she would say men need sex or is very important to them.

They will argue until they are blue in the face but as time goes on things turn the mans advantage. Men have a wider range in dating opportunities as time goes on. Women will argue all day about it but they know its true, they cant accept they are now on the dollar menu of dating and relationships, for reason that are very clear in reading this thread.

What a riot. I am 52, married to a sexually worthless 55 year old, and having an affair with a 58 year old. Men from ages 45 to 60 hit on me fairly often.

Why is what these people wrote above a "riot" - just because you have a lame husband and cheat? It's true that older women are not as high in demand. (New poster on this particular response.)

Woman have an innate ability to classify males as ones they want to sleep with and others they keep around as friends. The friends don’t stand a chance and are usually just obiters that hover around and hope they can get some action. They never do.

If you’re a husband who isn’t having sex you’re classified as one of them. Just s little above or below her brothers. She loves you probably, she just doesn’t view you as mating material to put it simply. It’s rare that a woman loses her desire for sex all together, it’s just sexual with you. You don’t think for one second given the opportunity to sleep with an attractive fit man and not get caught is an option she wouldn’t do it? Absolutely she would. And if she’s not having sex with you there’s a danger of that happening. Desire isn’t negotiable - you can’t talk your way into her getting that for you.

Do what others have said, work on and improve yourself. Get in shape, work out, find a social circle to hang out with and make time for yourself and going out. Start doing activities where the likelihood of meeting attractive women increased. Take a salsa class, women love a man who can dance. Chat women upnand flirt. Change your wardrobe. Get clothes that fit well and show off your physical strengths. Have big arms? Wear polo shorts that enhance your arms. If your slimmer, buy slim fit or modern fit shirts. Get the proper pants size so they’re not too big or long. Drop the white sneakers and get a couple of pairs of shoes that are stylish and comfortable. Black and brown. Match belt and shoes. Take pride in your appearance and dress nice, not talking suits every day, but your casual wear. How do you feel when you meet a slob? You don’t want to judge but we do, and women in particular do.

That’s my advice, at this point if she gets mad at you for going out with friends, taking time for yourself what is she going to do? Get mad and withdraw sex? Well that’s no longer a bargaining chip so do what you want. If you initiate - and I hope you at least try - it won’t turn out successfully all the time. Say ok, then go off and do something you need to do. I try to initiate in the morning, wife says no I’m out to the gym. I was probably going to go anyways but hey, now I get there earlier. Something like that.

So basically become gay?
