Today, I tried talking to my wife about our sexless marriage. Her only response was to toss me a sock and say "Knock yourself out, fuckstick." FML

What's with all of these sexless marriage FMLS lately? We need some aphrodisiacs up in here.

It doesn't sound like she's trying at all to make the sex work. FYL indeed.

maybe it's time to talk to her and get some counseling. I would try to fix it before divorce becomes part of the picture. I am sorry that you are going through this

fill the sock with quarters.... and go buy some sodas from a vending machine

Give her the "D"....as in divorce.

I love how everyone is mentioning divorce and affairs. "There is a problem in my marriage.. let's just throw it away, so I can go have different issues with somebody else." People suck! Sex is important, but there is more to a marriage than just that. I agree with some of the others. If she doesn't feel loved, of course she isn't gonna want to have sex. Find out why she is acting that way, OP! Good luck with your sock! ?

The issue here isn't simply sex, which is massively important to most people. It's respect. You don't talk to your best friend and life partner the way she did without divorce at least entering one (or both) partner's mind. This treatment made him come post about his problems to millions of strangers, which is not something you do in a marriage if it's not a really important issue. He tried to have a discussion with his wife about something regarding their marriage that was important to him, and he was dismissed in a rude and hateful manner. It's now the wife's job to address her problems to him or a counselor, or it's on to a divorce lawyer. Lack of respect will absolutely kill a marriage.

I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for the wife, but there does seem to be something missing from this whole conversation. Not a single person here mentioned marriage counseling. Only one person mentioned therapy, which isn't the same thing. Divorce shouldn't be the very first thing that comes to mind when dealing with these issues. What does OP mean by a "sexless marriage" anyway? Has it been a week? A month? A year? I dated one guy who was not happy with our once or twice a week and he told all his buddies I never put out anymore. Also, can we stop throwing out Asexuality as being the root of all sexual issues? I'm happy that Asexuality is more well known and accepted since I'm Asexual. However, I'm in a relationship. I am not a virgin. We can and do have sex to please our partners. Some Aces even enjoy sex. It's not a one size fits all to explain why someone doesn't want to have sex.

Sounds like a communicationproblem to me. If she was able to respond with "knock yourself out, fuckstick" then it makes me think of the way you approached her. It makes me wonder if you just said "Honey, I would like to have more sex" instead of something like "Honey, we haven't been intimate

"We haven't been intimate lately and I'm wondering if there's something that makes you feel unformfortable doing so and if I can do anything to fix it?" - so I don't think we have enough information. Sorry for the double response, my comment got cut off

In a healthy and functional relationship, there's no approach that deserves that response. They need counseling at best and a divorce lawyer at worst. That level of disrespect will break any marriage.

been there before....sucks major ass man.
