Sexless marriage

So I think this is one of the reasons my H and I separated. No-one else involved and I don't think either of us are ready for divorce.

I have since learnt that lots of people actually have sexless marriages? Can I ask if you don't ever have sex why this is - how long and do you think that can ever change?

For me it would be weird to rekindle after about 10 years of no sex but I wonder if other people have done this or manage to live happily without?

What are the reasons it became sexless?

I agree - it's hard to imagine it going a few years and then suddenly recovering. Obviously there are a multitude of reasons why it can happen but if there is a mismatch and it's an issue for one person then it's hard to see how it can last as a relationship.

Me and my wife (both late 50s) don't have sex - it's been six years - and that's down to her. It's not good. To be honest, I think she's a fool to let that part of our relationship go: there's an entire dimension of our relationship missing, to the detriment of our marriage.

Both my DP and I left marriages due to no or bad sex... absolutely no regrets

I'd address it after a couple of months so can't imagine years drifting by.
