My husband and I have always been best friends even at the start of our relationship playing game or going out to the pub was more important than intimacy. We didn't have sex for 5years after our daughter was born cos we had a tough time but again it wasn't a big deal.
Thr pandemic was brillant for us we had a great time and our sex life was great.
This year she's not had sex once. Apart from wishing I could have another baby(too old) I'm not to bothered but I do miss kissing we peak on yhe lips but he's never really liked it.
I've never liked sex really its ok for a wee while then I'm fine with it stopping.
I have thought about breaking up with him cos everywhere you read you shouldn't just live like best friends but I'd be so sad not to see him every day
Not sure why I'm posting but does anyone else have a happy marriage that's mostly friendship ?

I am very happily married and my husband is definitely my best friend but we also have an active sex life after 26 years. Companionship, laughter, emotional support and emotional security are so important to a successful marriage. When it comes to sex it’s down to what you as a couple want, it’s irrelevant how much sex other people are having if you are happy. Are you able to talk openly to each other about sex or do you avoid the subject? It’s not a problem if you both agree, it’s a problem if one person is fine with almost no sex and the other isn’t.
