in denial of what?

we need more info

RidcullySentTheBursarMad · 06/10/2011 23:21

I think it's none of your business what goes on in someone else's marriage. If they claim to be happy, why are you bothered? Hmm

piprabbit · 06/10/2011 23:22

More info please - for instance, I would like to know why you think it is any of your business what happens inside other people's marriages. Especially when they are telling you they are happy.

Ridcully - it might be her marriage too?

I agree we need more info. I think it probably depends on whether people are honest with themselves or not. Much easier to be happy if you honestly know why you're not having sex and have either made peace with that or gone into it knowing that's not on the cards.

JustBinIt · 06/10/2011 23:25

One of them is cheating or they are both sad.

And you know that how?

hmc · 06/10/2011 23:26

This promises to be interesting [adds to 'watch' list]

EllaDee · 06/10/2011 23:27

I don't understand you just - is this someone you know? If so I think you can't judge based on so little evidence - unless one of them has asked you for advice or something?

BertieBotts · 06/10/2011 23:28

Perhaps they are asexual? Or have an open marriage? Or perhaps it's none of your business??

JustBinIt · 06/10/2011 23:30

I didn't say it is my bussiness.Just my opinion.

OP posts:
iceandsliceplease · 06/10/2011 23:32

Your opinion based on what though?

iceandsliceplease · 06/10/2011 23:33

Or is this just a fight thread?

EllaDee · 06/10/2011 23:33

Your opinion ... on all sexless marriages?

Ok then.

Confused
BoysAreLikeDogs · 06/10/2011 23:33

I don't know what you are driving at

Sexless does not mean loveless

BoysAreLikeDogs · 06/10/2011 23:34

oh, a fight thread

I'm offski

Tortington · 06/10/2011 23:35

JBI your a judgey pants.

it would be sad for me becuase i really like to fuck. i feel sad that other women dont like to fuck but don't presume that they are sad necessarily

Hungrydragon · 06/10/2011 23:35

What about nuns? They seem jolly content in sexless marriages and they have a higher life expectancy!

JustRedbin · 06/10/2011 23:38

Do you mean no sex at all, even with themselves? (hides the batteries)

Tortington · 06/10/2011 23:38

nuns live on the thought of hitting children with rulers

Hungrydragon · 06/10/2011 23:41

Custardo! You've held the secret to longevity all this time and nit shared!

Hungrydragon · 06/10/2011 23:42

Not shared, even

hester · 06/10/2011 23:43

Your opinion, or what you would like to think?

And why on earth do you care?

JustBinIt · 06/10/2011 23:44

BertieBotts one of them might be asexual. What about the other?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! when you believe in something.

Or just yawn and go home. when you know it's a load of bollocks and you really can't be arsed.

Bedtime!
