What if you and your spouse love each other, but there is no sex in your marriage? Do you stay or do you go? How long do you try?

Maryanne lived in a sexless marriage for 12 years and by the end of it she started to think that if her doctor told her that she had six months to live, that would be all right.

not to drag issues from "the other board" over to this one, but this following paragraph sums up succintly what I've been pointing out is wrong with toronto women...

"To be consistently rejected sexually strikes at the core of our being,” Trainor says. “We question our attractiveness and it affects our self-esteem. It is difficult not to take it personally.”

Which brings up a possible reason most women never attempt to make the first move.....

"How do you know the situation won’t get better?” one asks", well it won't get better until you discuss it. If the other party isn't interested in discussing it, or getting help, then, as I always have advised, one should leave the marriage.

Sure, some will say that's shallow, a relationship isn't only about sex, but a physical relationship is 33 1/3 of the relationship. If that is missing, then that's a LOT.......

“There is a myth in our society that men should know how to turn their partner on,” says Trainor.
But a man may not want to take direction from his partner. Over time women in such relationships can grow to feel resentful that their sexual needs are not being met. They give up and begin avoiding sex.

“On the other hand, the man may be encouraging his partner to be forthcoming about what she wants and she may think it is his responsibility to figure it out. This puts a lot of pressure on her partner,” says Trainor.

A no win situation if you ask me.
