How long could you stay in a sexless relationship/ marriage?

[Anonymous]

Before you couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave?

It is about so much more than sex...I love my husband and I would not leave him over lack of sex

[mich.el.le]

I wouldn't ever leave.  My vows weren't ''or until you stop putting out''.

forever,we have sex about once a month.I have no sex drive or no intrest in sex.plus his dick is so small I get no pleasure anyways.but sex is not what makes a marrige imo

Honestly I don't know.  If it's medical or something then yeah, ok I get that.  If he just doesn't want sex all of a sudden or something along those lines then I don't know.  Sure sex isn't EVERYTHING, but sexual intimacy is important in a relationship and it's something I made very clear was expected.  So, it would really depend on the circumstances and what was being done.  DH and I have a very strong non sexual intimacy as well so it would really depend on the situation.  Therefore I can't just give a straight answer on that one.

That depends on what he is doing otherwise. If he is still being loving, romantic, and intimate in other ways, I would stay. I don't need sex to be happy, I need intimacy and closeness, love. If he is cheating and THAT'S why no sex, fuck that. I'd cut and run. I don't forgive cheating.

Sex and intimacy are both very important components of a marriage. But as previously stated, I agree that sex isn't everything. I would not leave my husband for the lack of sex no matter the reason. I'm very committed to my vows and take them seriously. I believe in the strength of my marriage and know that my husband and I are strong enough together to overcome any obstacle.

I wouldn't leave,but I would resent him.I like sex,I love being that intimate with him,and I do feel sex is important in a marriage.So while its not a dealbreaker,him not wanting it would be a big problem to me.

I'm not sure if the no sex part would bother me as much as me feeling rejected and unattractive.

He's perfectly healthy and just decided to become abstinent?

I'd leave as soon as he told me that. I have no desire to be in that kind of relationship.

I think about this all the time. It has been 2 years with no sex. He can't explain why he isn't interested..I truly believe he just lost all attraction. It causes so much frustration and effects all aspects of out marriage. We have a daughter and one on the way (IVF) and I just don't know what to do. Cheat? Leave?
