Is anyone watching this, if so can anybody relate to it? I feel like it’s my life right now. Posted a link for reference. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x580mowu5Gs]]

I gave up trying long ago as it was not reciprocal and all one way traffic. I love my DW dearly but sex isn't her strong point. Very passive and a bit awkward and lacking in any confidence. She is on the autistic spectrum which explains much of it I think.

Previous partner had very low sex drive so that was very poor and one before that was okay I guess, but very quiet and reserved and wouldn't take the lead or show any initiative. Happy to go along with whatever.

Oh well.

If it has become an issue, is it possible to have a discussion about it. Are you able to ask her how she feels about sex and explain that you’d like things to be different. Maybe with her being autistic, she finds it hard to communicate and she needs you to take the lead here. If you are both happy otherwise and she doesn’t see the need for things to change then maybe it’s a case of accepting this part of your relationship.

It nearly killed our marriage trying to 'fix' it so I had to make a choice and I chose to stay.

I just see passionate, horny, enthusiastic sex on TV sometimes and wonder what it'd be like. I've never experienced it.

Meh. I watched one and a half episodes and wondered what it would be like to have an enormous house and garden and lots and lots of money. I've never experienced that, but I'm not going to ruin my life contemplating that fact.

It depends how much you want to experience it, are you happy growing old and coming to a realisation you’ve never had enthusiastic, passionate sex? If you’ve chosen to stay, it seems you’ve come to some sort of acceptance and are happy to continue this way.

I wouldn’t put sex and a house in the same category. Having sex with someone that lacked passion and enthusiasm for many years is completely different to not having a big house and garden.

Ha, it's TV soft porn, other aspects of the 'plot' are irrelevant.

I suppose I was quarter way annoyed to see a supposedly ground breaking(?) show relying on the clapped-out old romdram plot of the heroine facing a difficult choice between two suitors, one 'safe', the other 'edgy', I mean, it was a dreadful cliché when whoever it was first started writing about Arthur & Lancelot etc a thousand years ago. Its enduring popularity says awful things about what the makers of film and literature think about 'what women want'.

But, guess what, this isn't really the point of the show.

I started watching this and agree with most of the points here.
My question is what the fuck is Billie wearing in her pre-marriage years? She looks like an extra out of a Meat Loaf video. I saw Bat Out of Hell the musical and her costume must be supplied by the same department - pink pvc leather jacket, fishnets, leather mini, high heeled biker boots. She looks like she's going to a Cher lookalike competition at Butlins.

To be clear I love Meat Loaf and Cher but I just don't think the average upper middle class New York chick would be wearing that even ten / fifteen years ago.

It's quite sexy once she loses the outfit

i quite liked the start of the series but towards the end i really disliked Billies character.
I could get passed the cheating/messing around/fantasising type stuff but in the last ep when shes at her kids thing then just fucks off to get rogered again really pissed me off.
