Do you think a marriage can survive in these circumstances?

Together for approx 16 years, married for 14, two DDs both secondary age. No sex for the past few years, still sharing a bed though and still some affection and couple still love each other. The DH cheated a couple of times a few years back but hasn't for a number of years. No real prospect that sex will return to the marriage anytime soon if at all.

Do you think the relationship could survive? Both want to stay married but do you think the scenario as presented will eventually mean the relationship ends?

NC btw, but regular poster. Poo pouffe, gluezilla, small fluffy bundle etc.

Lots of women stay with their husbands who are cheating and are ok as long as it not in their face. But lots of people only need a nice life and a friendly enough relationship

So she had a low sex drive...presumably they were not having sex and then surprise surprise he cheats. To be franks, whilst wrong what the hell did she expect. Very few relationships survive without sex and the intimacy that it brings...so it sounds to me that it is more a convenient relationship for her and he is more reluctant but guilty over what he did in the last. They should end it and move on, find people they genuinely love and want a proper relationship with
