No, sex is a minor part of a relationship when you have kids. How often do you really think parents of small children have sex? I'll give you a hint - it isn't 4 times a day like you young kids.

In his defense, there was no mentioning of children in the fml. And the imporance of sex depends a whole lot on what type of relationship/marriage you have and what types of people are involved in it. For some it is more important than for others, mainly depending on whether they have other "pillars" in their relationship or not.

I never said they had to be having sex 4 times a day, I don't know anyone who has sex that much. I understand kids obviously get in the way of sex but if he hasn't even seen a nipple in that long...there's a problem.

Additionally, if he was okay with it this fml wouldn't have been posted so it's pretty obvious he's dissatisfied. Bottom line, him and his wife have some talking to do.

Sex is one of the most important aspects to a relationship. It's one of the bodies most natural sources to many aliments the body can endure. Just because you have kids doesn't mean you need to let your sex life fall to the wayside. Doc, give me a few more years and I can be your sex psychiatrist if you like. Ms. Bastard giving you a hard time lately? Moody more often than not? Set the kids in front of a movie, take her in the bedroom and give her a piece of what's to come later!

Wtf?

Very true

I'm trying to understand all of you, but ... really? There are people out there that think that two years without sex is normal in a relationship, much less a marriage? There are people out there with absolute loads of kids that still manage to have sexy time (which, by the way, is how they got the other kids). I get that sex isn't the end-all, be-all of a marriage, but let's be realistic here...

I agree with 74 completely. So if OP's wife doesn't want to have sex, and (I assume) she doesn't want him to cheat, she pretty much forces OP to not enjoy something all humans should experience (somewhat) regularly if they so desire. It's not fair to ask a person to never have sex again because you're married. That's definitely grounds for divorce.

Why does it matter? Both men and women have nipples.

no they are probably about 5 inches below the ******* he fell in love with

That ... is a terrible thing. The way I see it, if you are "friendzoned" by your SO or spouse, it doesn't make sense to be in a relationship. I hope things get better...

Or maybe there's no time to take her shirt off.

#58, ah, so you are thinking he's a Fast Finisher? Ladies love those kind of guys...
