More info needed.

 

 

This is impossible to answer.

Other things as well add up to abuse, not just one solitary element.

 

 

If you are confused read 'Why Does He Do That' by a guy called Lundy Bancroft.

well I wish the book was why "does she does that " because my wife is depriving me from sex just if I disagree with her on anything ; like "no darling we cant put a treadmill in bedroom ; it will squeeze us .. and puff sex disappear for dys , weeks , ....

Er..are you serious?!! Lol!

 

 

Get a gym membership and it won't annoy the neighbours and nor will it cramp the space you have.

 

 

I feel there is a whole lot more going on here though...but the above would help your situation.

I dunno...read around on the threads started by sex-starved spouses (especially sex-starved husbands). Apparently WANTING sex from your spouse is irrational and abusive.....

Why are you still attracted to her then?

 

Why would you have wanted to change her?

Well, I've also struggled with getting sex, which only amplifies the frustration of having a very high sex drive.

 

While I think it's just plain crappy to be deprived, and an overall indicator of incompatibility, I have never and would never consider it abuse.

Touch deprivation maybe is abuse. I dunno about sex itself. In your case however, her linking sex to you doing whatever she wants, you'd be justified in cheating.

No, I don't think it's abuse. It can be manipulation though! But it can also be loss of interest and lack of love.

In some cases it is abuse. If it is deliberate, it is abuse. If the spouse is low drive and simply uninterested in sex, then it is a serious mismatch, and the relationship should be terminated. If not, then it is still a breaking of vows and marital expectations. While two wrongs don't make a right, if a solution is not found after trying, it is morally no worse for the deprived partner to cheat, IMO.

 

 

Now, who has the responsibility to terminate? Mostly, I'd say it's the deprived spouse, but if the depriving spouse knows that they are the cause of their partner's misery, and they actually love them despite not having sex with them, it should be them that leaves (or opens the relationship) to free their partner to find happiness elsewhere.

No, because they can just pack their bags and leave. Abuse would be if someone forced sex just because they are married, which is called marital rape. If things are that bad, no one will blame you for moving on. I get it. You want some love.

Simply uninterrested in sex could be true when a person is really LD ;she enjoys sex only when she needs it only when she wants it , and only the way she likes it ...

 

she is selfish ...

 

The abuse is mental , she never gives any form of sexual acceptance even when she is not interrested ...

 

had she given me even a HJ or BJ once per week , I would be flying ; and I never had a BJ in my life by the way .

 

Any sexual thinking I express , is out of norm for her ...

 

won't leave , kids needs me now .

 

i need time to offload, years maybe...

I don't know if it's a good idea but I will say it.

 

What if you talk with your wife and ask her to continue being married for the sake of the kids but make the marriage open? Tell her since she isn't interested in you sexually anymore you don't want to force her into anything. But you have emotional and physical needs and that you need a mistress that can give you both. What do you think?

Don't cheat, as that is sneaky and underhand , but opening up the marriage for both of you is definitely a consideration. She may be more keen on that than you may think.

You say on another thread, you once got no sex for 2 weeks, I do not want to minimise your situation, but how often are you expecting sex?

You may need to tread carefully here, because if she feels the emotional connection with you is lacking and that is the basic reason she doesn't want to have sex with you. Then for you to suggest you want to have sex with other women (open marriage), may be the straw that breaks the camels back and you may be facing divorce whether you want to or not.

OK was she always a vanilla kind of a person?

 

How well do you actually get on with your wife, apart from the sex?

How deep is that emotional connection?

Oh, I see. You're right.

In that context, it seems like it's part of a passive-aggressive form of abuse. I'm sorry that you're feeling stuck.

 

I'm a woman and I'm not married but I had a boyfriend like your wife.

We were in a long distance relationship so you can imagine how disappointing it was when we went on sexless "romantic" vacation to Italy. He was punishing me because I didn't move in to the country he lived in yet. It felt terrible and I felt that he thought I'm stupid. Plus I was very irritable because I was sexually deprived!

 

How old are your kids?

Yes. 10

 

One for each year that I went without sex from "the woman who loved me".

 

 

No woman who loves a man would do that to him; at least not a man who has a healthy sex drive.

Exactly! After deprivation of sex comes the condemnation for wanting sex - abusive control freak stuff, pure and simple. It is abuse just as surely as hitting a guy in the head with a baseball bat.

 

If condemnation doesn't work, next comes the shaming. Then comes the victim role...

 

I could write a play book for the abusers. :laugh:

Yep, and for the many other deprivers out there whose advice is always "what are you doing wrong to make them not want sex" because the stories step on THEIR toes.....

 

I've gotten to where, when I read about someone who is sex starved, when a response begins with "what have you done..." or "Have you tried..." I just skip it. It raises my blood pressure too much.
