How is it not possible to feel that and still have sex with others unless a relationship is only sex?

Then what?

Then I would end the relationship with her. The same basic rules apply. If she doesn't have time for me, I end the relationship. It has nothing to do with the sex in your scenario. It has to do with her clearly not taking my relationship with her seriously.

Wives and girlfriends are only for sex? Really?

I don't agree that I have swept anything to the side. I have made an honest effort to respond to everything raised in this thread. If I didn't respond to something it is because I either missed it or felt that I addressed it previously.
