Are you supposed to force people to have sex if they don't want it? Isn't that called something else? Isn't sex something to be done by two (or more, I have an open mind) CONSENTING adults?
Aren't relationships meant to be more than just sex or based solely on sex?
I'm sorry if I have misread your comments or taken them out of context but that is how it looks to me.

I've been used for sex, which I don't mind, but I only mind when they pretend to like me or love me. If they came up front about it right at the beginning and told me it was only sex then fine. No hidden agendas, everybody knows where they stand. Am I just too simple?

Marjan - I'm not directing or questioning any of this to you, I haven't really read all of your posts or contents but it sounds like it wasn't a healthy relationship and probably best you are now out of it and I wish you the best of luck.
I think what Junerain means is that if a person makes a long habit of refusing sex with their partner, then yes that is legally in most states grounds for a no fault divorce. You are not required to stay in a marriage with someone who uses sex as manipulation or not at all.

Which as long as a man can use this as equally as a woman then I think the law is fine.
