Ok everyone.
I had tried but I will take a different approach.
Married for 23 years. Husband stopped having desire for last
10 years. Doctor prescribed Cialis. He doesn't want to take it.
I told him I am in my prime and I want sex!!!
He isn't reacting though tells me he loves me and all.
He loves drink, TV and dinner. All he wants.

What am I supposed to do?

@Eliusa,
Divorce would be a fine answer. So would having extra-marital sex without getting a divorce. Would your husband accept an open marriage?

@maxdancona,
Wait! Divorce would be an answer?
Lets talk. Divorcing father of my child whom I am with for 23 years whom I would leave to loneliness because at 60 would he find someone to have no sex and take care of him? Cooking his favorite food from scratch daily...talking about 23 year old stuff, watching TV...is it a good solution?
I am listening...

...extra-marital sex without getting a divorce? Also fine answer?
Correct me if I am wrong. Are you saying I can? Please do tell because so far I am getting beat up for even thinking about it.

He told me he is giving me a green light BUT I know it will break his heart.
I said no. I don't need it and he said if I was smart I would have it without him knowing it except we are together 24/7 and I had never even went out with girlfriends. It would be weird, wouldn't it?
Honey, I am going somewhere...
Like WHAT? After 23 years not going anywhere you going where?

Please answer. Thanks

@Eliusa,
Divorce worked very well in my case. I left. I have contact with my wife because I have 50% custody of our daughter whom we both care very much about. But other than that, I have no responsibility for my ex-wife's welfare or happiness. She is a grown up and she can take care of herself.

You have to accept that you are not responsible for your husband. He is a grown up. He can figure out how to feed himself and find companionship (if he wants) on his own. You are talking as if it is your obligation to take care of him.

Divorce means divorce. It means that you won't be taking care of him any more. It means that you won't even worry about him any more. He can make his own decisions like the rest of us grown ups.

I know people who have open marriages and make it work. I don't have personal experience with this one. With this, you have to understand that it is not your responsibility how he feels about it.

It seems like your husband has no desire make your sex life work. So you have these two choices.

He isn't doing what he needs to do, and you are giving him the chance that he isn't taking. So you have no reason to feel guilty for either divorce or for sleeping with other people.

@maxdancona,
It's the most refreshing opinion I had seen for a while.
Why did you leave?
See my husband is a good man. In terms of that
He is weaker than me so he had never hurt me.
And I do love him. And I do care about him.
I just not in love with him anymore because
he is lazy and passive. And every little thing
I have to beg for him to do it.
However our family is still solid and ruining it
Scares heck out of me.

Again did you have a reason to leave?
If I might ask...

@maxdancona,
I love what you said here! Both parties are in a marriage should be making an effort to meet the others needs, if one stops and won't even try, why is the other obligated to stay and deny their own needs.

@Eliusa,
My wife and I stopped having sex for most of a year. She was upset about something completely unrelated to sexuality that she felt I should change. I felt she was using physical intimacy as a lever to get me to act the way she wanted me to act.

I told her I was unhappy. I offered marriage counseling. She thought this was unnecessary if I just did what she was saying. I didn't agree with her, and felt that it was wrong for her to try to change who I am. After several months of almost no physical intimacy and a relationship that was going downhill, I decided to move out.

For me this was a very good decision. We are cooperating pretty well raising our daughter (I have two sons who are adults who are both doing well). And I have been able to enjoy a couple of meaningful intimate relationships since (although another long term relationship at this point would be nice.).

Physical intimacy is an important part of a marriage.

@ekename,
Sir wouldn't do it. For that you need to stop drinking.
Sex not worth it for him. Not that he gets wasted...
But all he wants is TV shows and dinner!
I cook and plug in!!!

@Eliusa,
Divorce is the option but not the last one , you can revive your relationship by devising different strategies such as having an extramarital affair with another person .
