Her obligations being what?
Where in the marriage contract does it say that the wife has to have sex with her husband when he demands it?
Noomi, it is part of marriage. If you do not wish to share your body with someone you love. Do not get married. It is part of the reason people marry, and a big reason they stay together, or like this couple, not stay together.
The way one goes about keeping the sex going does matter. Spreadsheets don't work for me![]()
I am aware that married couples have sex, but it isn't required, which is my point. The woman does not have to submit to her husband if she doesn't want to, and the attitudes of the males here ('she needs to be a better bitch, for example) is just pathetic.
People get married for many reasons, not just for sex, not just for companionship, not just for money, not just for a "legal" union under the law. No sex does not mean the marriage has gone bad either, age, work, kids, and differences in libido are all factors. One could make an argument that they shouldn't have to miss x show to have sex because they are married, just as easily as one could argue that one should miss x show because they are married. In the end though it is really no one else's place to determine what is a 'healthy' or 'proper' amount of sex in any other couples relationship - that is something that the involved parties need to work out for themselves.
Regardless we are all reading this with personal perception biases as far as what a marriage and relationship is to US, so any opinion we have on THEIR marriage and relationship is basically irrelevant.

Well said.
And indeed, for most of human history marriage has been about property and inheritance and social class, with little or nothing to do with the ideas of romantic love and/or sexual desire. That's a quite recent adaptation.

Actually, it IS required. Unless one or the other of you has a serious physical ailment that prevents it, having a sexual relationship with your marital partner is NOT optional. You do not get to enter into a marital contract and then say, "And you can have sex IF I feel like it, but I might decide this marriage is completely platonic." That is grounds for an at-fault divorce, and that fault would be YOURS.
The more you talk, the more abundantly obvious it becomes why every man who's ever looked at you has said, "No thanks. I have a right hand."
He does not own her vagina. Period.
Hate to break it to ya, hun, but that doesn't mean that he has to put up with the thing if it's not going to "play ball" either.![]()
This loser is free to file for divorce if he wants. Or he can get his jollies off himself. He has two hands, does he not?

and during that time men where known to keep mistresses. Perhaps it's time for that era to return if women choose to opt out of sex.

So basically, you think that, for a woman, marriage is "I do whatever I want, and pay no attention to your needs - in fact, I consider it an affront to my independence and womanhood to be expected to do anything for you - and if you don't like it, just leave. I have no obligations toward making this marriage work."
Not only do we now fully understand that no man would marry you even at gunpoint, we also understand why you live with your mother. There is literally not another human being on Earth who would tolerate such an incredibly selfish, lazy, demanding shrew in the same house.
It is hard to imagine anyone short of a serial killer who could match this sort of narcissistic sociopathology. It's really quite breathtaking.
I am really surprised at some of the men responding. Really surprised. But I shouldn't be.
I am not in the least surprised. But you do know, don't you, that if the situation was reversed, and the man was denying sex for the same reasons, the men here would be loudly defending this bloke.

The vagina is, technically, a "thing," is it not?
I wasn't trying to be offensive. I was playing off of Noomi's constant references to the vagina (as opposed to the person attached to it) in her posts.
What are you calling a 'thing'?
A "thing," perhaps?
Sex occurs before a marriage, sex does not make a marriage, nor should it be required of couples.
As much as I love sex... I still totally agree with this. Marriage should be about so much more than that.
That's nice but no one is claiming that sex is everything------that strawman keeps popping up over and over.

No, they wouldn't. They'd demand he turn in his Man Card immediately. If you knew anything about men, you'd realize that their operating philosophy is, "Take it when it's offered, and remember that all cats look alike in the dark."
And bless them for it, because if I had to put up with the same bullshit they do just to get laid, let's just say I'd own stock in the Duracell company.

Duracell?![]()
Do you mean Eveready? I don't git it.
Duracells are btw the shittiest battery you can buy. Just thought I'd throw that in. One rarely gets the chance.![]()

Of course it should be. However, that doesn't mean that sex isn't still important.
If, at the ripe old age of 26, my S.O. were to suddenly decide that sex was off the table, I'd be seriously considering whether the marriage was worth preserving as well.
It's one thing to "lose the spark" in middle age after having had a life and a bunch of kids together. Losing it before the marriage has even really started is another entirely.
I find it selfish that a man would divorce the woman he supposedly loves simply because she won't spread her legs for him. It really goes to show what you males think of marriage - a reason to bang the missus when you feel like it.

In the other thread about the woman complaining, she used a Magic Wand. They plug in, so batteries are not an issue, and full power is always available.
Just thought I'd throw that in too. One rarely gets the chance to give such tips. lol
Bah and bleh. I am thoroughly disgusted.
And very aware of what some of the ....cough cough....."men" are like.
/unsub
My last boyfriend dumped me via text message because I wouldn't have sex with him. On our third date, mind.
Pathetic.
OH THE PAIN_-----some poor married ladies actually have sex........we need a support group for the poor things.
