SUBJECT
Well, i'm still here and I'm thinking that tonight is the night i'm breaking out of the slump. I'll start with telling her the way its going to be...which of course will be followed by begging, pleading and a new credit card.

Just kidding of course
I dont really have the patience that would be required to try any harder than i already do try. Without going into tremendous detail, I have given my left arm for this family (as I should)...now here comes the selfishness....I feel that if you do everything that you are supposed to do, in a way that you are supposed to do it, each spouse should make an effort to please and satisfy the others needs.
Enough already on the intimacy vs. sex issue. Here, anyhow, its not an issue for me to give her all the love and attention anyone would want.
I had just heard all the time from men, of course, about how sex stops when you get married. I never thought that would happen to me. Now that it has, I am really unprepared to handle it. The frustration had reached the point where i was calculating how much child support I'd probably have to pay. I'd bring up counseling and she'd tell me that we dont need it and that i was wrong and that we have a better marriage then most people.
I could never get a divorce. I'm not giving away my kids. Maybe she holds that over me. Of the things that you think about when getting married, you just skip over this thought because I just assumed that when you are married you have sex alot. Yes it is sex i'm talking about, penis into vagina. We dont have a problem with the other stuff, we hold hands (my offering and insistence of course), I take the kids from the second I walk in from work until I tuck them in at night. Its the after 8pm issue that I have.
Alot of the posts have been very informative and thought provoking. It was more than I expected when i googled "lack of sex" and found this place, started reading and eventually posted. thanks to all who take the time.
