To think that there's no coming back from a sexless marriage/ltr

If a marriage or ltr has become sexless, is there ever any coming back (to having a sex life).

Has anyone ever done so?

And how,big you have? (Counselling, date nights?)

My marriage failed as it became sexless. For years. I have had a few relationships sinve and they have been incredibly sexual. Can't quite believe it, i thought i was dead from the waist down.

I’m wondering exactly the same thing. In a relationship with someone who’s sex drive has vanished. No sexual contact at all. Aside from that we get on great and I love being with him, but am not sure that I can carry on this way either

I have been on both sides of this. I have been the one who completely went off sex with my DH (no sex for years) and have also been the one who has been rejected (yes, it really hurts)

I have never come across a situation in my own or friends lives where a long term sex drought is recoverable unless both parties are totally happy with it.

I dont know, but i am in one. We are only in our 30s but have been together for 20 years. We were at it like rabbits for the first 5 years of our relationshi0 (we still lived seperately).
We moved in together and basically from day one we stopped having regular sex and it became maybe once a month. He then started to work a night shift , which he did for 10 years. This really affected our sex life. Basically had none.
Then i decided i wanted a baby. We had sex 4 times then i got pregnant. Didnt have sex for 2 years. Then decides i wanted another baby. We had sex just once and i got pregnant. That was the last night we had sex. My child is 7 now. Since then we have also got married and have not consummated our marriage Confused we sleep in seperate rooms.
On top of all of this, we are now both morbidly obese which is a turn off. We dont get on well most of the time. Its all a disaster really. But i feel like other posters on here, the thought of it makes me shudder.
