I like sex a lot. I only have sex once or twice a month, and I pretty much have to beg for it. I would not mind having sex once a week, I don’t think that’s much to ask for. I will feel more inclined to do more things around the house and be a lot happier and willing to do more for her than I already do.

I bet she would be a lot more interested in having sex with you if she felt loved, valued and respected by you.
If you don't feel that way towards her, what might change that for you? Is there anything you can think of about her now that reinforces that in your mind? How about the reasons you got married in the first place?

Have you tried asking her what would help her be more interested/inclined? If so, have you tried to meet those needs?

From what you have shared it's possible that you lack the ability to provide "companionship" in a relationship. Unfortunately, this is often what many lack that ends up with their relationship falling apart. When a person is not experiencing companionship in their relationship they often begin to look elsewhere for it. Often when the other individual is not initimate sexually, it's due to the lack of companionship in the relationship. From what you have shared, your wife has already strayed from you and cheated on you. It is highly probable that your relationship will not last and she will end up straying in her desire to experience companionship again.
Thanks for this!

There is an old saying: Men need sex to feel loved, and women need to feel loved in order to want/have sex.

@nicoleflynn, that saying is because that is what young men are led to think. We need to teach them differently starting when they are young.
Thanks for this!

Okay.. let me get this straight...... In your other thread you tell us your wife is cheating, even your daughter knows. You have lots of proof Yet YOU are willing to stay with her anyway. Okay

Why would she want to have sex with you ? She’s probably getting enough from her lover.

I really think you need to find a Therapist that can explain to you what a healthy relationship even is, many people truly don’t know what one even looks like. They can help you process your feelings about having an unfaithful wife.

Maybe having an open marriage ??

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
