Can a marriage survive without sex?

Nah, when i asked her again, while sober, she retreated and said it’s her burden to bear.
Then while sober, she said it again.

It sounds to me like something very traumatic may have happened to your wife in her past.

Yeah it’s a long story that she won’t tell

It’s draining on the marriage

Yes thank you. It has been
considered
Suggested
Directed by her doc
Even attempted

For her, mentally erasing it is the option

Time marches on

For me sex is something fantastic, so it’s not the best place to find sex addict women. Sorry my bad. I’m sex addict but I don’t think it’s something bad, of course having sex with strangers it’s not good but having one same open minded partner is nothing bad for me. U can do things that normally you wouldn’t with your partner and you can make your dream fantasies come true. If you deny who you are you will never be happy, but if you let it go and make it real it will stop. That’s why we all should be free and try everything. If your partner don’t understand that it’s mean that he is locked in all those rules that society gave us.

Welcome Dave :wave: There are a good number of threads here related to sex addiction and I’m sure you can find a space with some relevant readings and reflections:

Hi All. Thank you for your additions to this topic. I wanted to let you know that I’ve not replied not through ignorance just I’m in a hard place right now and my mind is full just trying to keep things together. I’m sorry I’ve not replied. once my head is calmer and god willing things settle down my end I’ll pick this back up,for sure! I’m ok… STILL SOBER! But can only deal with so much in one go. I still come here every day/night to keep my sobriety going and I see that you guys are replying and I feel like shit for not responding but I just wanted to bet you know I’ll be back to this once my crazy head chills out abit and my family sorts all of their stuff that’s going on out :face_exhaling: doing my best, we must keep going even in hard times, sober is the only way!!! :heart:
