TelliameD Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 My spouse suffers from a sexual dysfunction which prevents sexual intercourse. I was not aware of this condition prior to the marriage. We've been married for a long time. A few years ago we underwent a special medical procedure to conceive a child because I wanted us to be a family. Unfortunately, my marriage is now on the verge of a breakdown. Is it a candidate for annulment rather than a divorce?

K Os Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Is there a religious reason why annulment would be more acceptable to you than divorce? You say you've been married a long time, and that you care for your spouse's well-being. And you have gone to great lengths to have a child together. So am I right that you just can't figure out a way to be sexually happy without cancelling your marriage vows? If so, this is a very tough situation indeed, and I feel for you. I agree with whichwayisup: why divorce unless he refuses to please you in other ways in bed. Can you talk to him about it? Are there things you need sexually that he simply cannot provide? Are agreed compromises possible? It's really tough when sexual unhappiness threatens the rest of a relationship. Or is the marriage in trouble for other reasons too?
