What happens to you and the relationship when you go with out sex for awhile?
Sorry, if I wasn't clear before. I hope that helps.
Quote by SamBrown
Having spent 20 years in a marriage throughout which I was sexually rejected 29/30 days a catalyst arrived at which point I drew a line in the sand and left to live on my own. I was more fortunate than most in that I saw my two children for several hours every day but handing them back every night was unbearable. During the period of separation my wife and I got on better than we had for years and passion (sex) suddenly returned. All was rosy. I moved back into the matrimonial bed but within a week we had return to 29/30 days of nothing and that has continued ever since.
I would have left but I could not bear to be apart from my boys again, but nor could I handle being celibate. A real catch-22.
Eventually I made the decision to look outside. It was actually very easy to find women looking for ‘friends with benefits' and I now have 3 friends I have sex with. (I think most women are more randy than teenage boys!) . One of my friends I have met for the last six years on average one hour or so per week, and for the other two it has been for three years and we meet once per fortnight and once every three months respectively.
I am neither proud nor ashamed of it. It fulfils my need for a mental and physical intimate relationship whilst enabling me to continue to read my children a story every night before tucking them into bed. My sons are growing up in a reasonably secure loving environment and I am certain they are benefiting from that.
I have no problem with this or any holier than thou advice to give. I feel you are coping with things the best way you can.

Isn't that just called "Marriage?"![]()
Quote by Dudealicious
I have actually lived out this scenario, I was in a sexless relationship for almost 5 years of my 10 year marriage. I am a very sexual person and started to wonder if it was me that was the cause of the problem. I asked on numerous occasions and was told that it was actually her that had the problem. I tried to be as understanding as I could but over time it became a friendship to me, not a relationship anymore.
Then one day hit, and I had enough of it. I called off the 10 year marriage and have found someone with a sex drive that equals mine....I have never looked back.
If there is no sex in a relationship, wouldn't it be just a friendship?

Ice cold showers
Quote by Nikki703
Maybe this works for men but showers of any kind just make me hornier. Luckily, ever since my divorce, a long time is like a week or two and my toys and fingers are always there to help when needed!!
