Sexless marriage with no affection or passion

[heartofgold8046]

I have been married 7 years and sexless for 3.
There is never any affection like kisses cuddles or even hand holding.
Who else is going through the same and how are you getting through it.

What is the point of you two being together ?. This is not a marriage, you are housemates if that.

It certainly feels like it at times

What is keeping you both in this marriage?

A very good question

Have you ever discussed this with your partner?

Did anything happen three years ago?

Have you attempted to bring more intimacy into the marriage, if so how did that go down?

When happens when you talk about it?

Can I pm as easier

Sure

After our third child my wife started reducing intimacy with me. Last 5 years I have been very frustrated and now no longer try. She will initiate sex after a few months, nearly 3 the last time. In truth I don’t cope well.

We were very active early in the relationship but I think she had a very active past and I was a late starter who naively thought we would always be there for each other but in reality I was her safe father choice.

Sorry, I know this thread is not recent. I am in a similar situation. I have brought it up, it has not changed anything long term. As a poster said above, we are more like house mates. We are good in every other part of the relationship but maybe its more friendship or even familiarity now. We are together almost 20 years. We are still young. I know we are well past the cant get enough of each other stage but I actually feel so lonely.

Obviously, all relationships are different! I'm just interested to hear about couples in similar situations.

Did anything change for you since your post here?

Bumping this

@Daisyflower40 if you are asking me then nothing has changed for the better. We have been intimate once in the last year and hard work.

A few weeks ago she was being very distant and I actually felt lonely in a full house if that makes sense.
