Even when I Beg, my Husband refuses to have S*x with me – Woman Shares True Sad Story

I’m 41 and have been with my partner for 24 years.

Though we have two children, he’s never had a high sex drive — once a week when we were courting, and a couple of times a month in the first year we lived together.

From then on a couple of times a year.

In the past 13 years we’ve made love about six or seven times in total, and it has been 18 months since the last time.

I’ve tried begging, but that only puts him off. Years ago I tried taunting — but that wasn’t nice at all.

I’ve tried seducing him and turned our bedroom into a boudoir. He didn’t notice!

I’ve put on a lot of weight lately but I had a gorgeous figure until the past few years, and he wasn’t any more interested then.

I had a frank talk with him a few years ago and told him that if he EVER wanted to have sex, I’d always be up for it. He said acting so needy put him off.

I should leave, but I love him and our children and we have a good life together.

He doesn’t stray and tells me he loves me, too, but I do wonder if he would care if I had an affair, or walked out. Actually, I don’t think he would!

The complete lack of intimacy leaves you feeling worthless and unfeminine.

It makes me angry. He’s not prepared to go to counselling or see a doctor.

We don’t kiss and cuddle because he ‘forgets’, is too tired, is just about to go to work, has just come in from work, is going fishing, watching TV etc.

An affair is out of the question.

I don’t want to die never having had an active sex life, even for a couple of months! What would I do?
