BettyDraper Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) One of the reasons I left my marriage was it became sexless. I tried so hard to tolerate that out of love for my ex. In the end, I felt dead inside and I could not handle the situation. It didn't help that my ex refused to go to counseling for other issues. He also betrayed me with financial matters. What I don't understand is former friends judged me for leaving. "Sex isn't everything!" "Just use sex toys!" My fiance and I have a wonderful sex life. He's also much younger than my ex so he is much more fun and energetic. I love that he's willing to go to counseling; we are in premarital counseling. We share our money and there is no deception. I'm so happy. Edited April 28, 2023 by BettyDraper

My fiance and I have a wonderful sex life. You made the right choice. Don't worry about what friends think. Some people can live with the companionship as they get older. However a battery powered handheld device is not the same as intimacy.

I personally would not share any more information about it.

It should be a given in a relationship, so I have to ask - was there deception in your marriage?

There was also other forms of financial abuse such as yelling at me over spending $20 in front of my family. My ex made six figures. He did not stop this behavior until I threatened divorce.
