Marriage and dating issue - need advice.

Good if you want to fix it.

But imo going to look elswhere is not the anwser, lack of sex is usualy a symptom of more relationship problem

 

[Ranger]

Yes. I’d say go out solo. See if she steps up the looks and make up. You need to up
You’re sex rank and show her young ***** is possible.
Be careful on the cheating idea. Get caught and it’s big $$$

I’m a HUGE suporter of women being under competition anxiety. I think it’s vital to a happy relationship if that is what a man wants.

Women are wired to actually enjoy that shyt. They thrive on it. Men don’t do so well with it. The woman will become more attentive and want more sex from you when she is under competition anxiety. But when a man is under it and tries to do the same thing...it’s needy and feminine. He becomes more attentive. Wants sex. Works harder thinking he is exemplifying proper conduct when in fact...he’s being a girl. It’s the wrong model.

So yes. Put that woman under competition and do it right now. They thrive on that shyt.

I agree that the competition might be good for him.
But i think he got to watch out how far he goes.

Or, she could start dressing better, meet a new guy, divorce her husband and take half his money.
I totally think though what you said works when dating and no one is going to loose half their stuff to the other person and lawyers etc.

Being under competition anxiety wouldn’t be about having side girls actually. As long as she knows that others want him and that in itself is the dynamic. We already know an attractive woman will get hit on and has options. She doesn’t really have to do anything. Goody a$$ men will slobber all over the place.
This is about the man. Falling for a woman is ok. Turning into a noodle isn’t. I need to make that distinction.
Men will think they are safe and will fal into that mode. They might as well put their own head in the guillotine. He can NEVER stop being out there and succeeding at whatever it is that drives him.

Better to lose half ones stuff than to be in a passionless & sexless marriage with a crony. Of course the truth is...he created that passionless cohabitation. I think that’s the real point on this forum.

What you are missing here is the fact the has no drive, dont want sex and she is letting herself go.
This is the problem.
She wants the status quo and he is unhappy in a situation like this.


Id seriously start making.plans to leave her in a way that i can keep as much of my stuff as possible.


Id still try to fix things but imo she not interested in changing

Yes i agree on this.
On a long LTR the bigger problem that arise is the one we allowed to grow.

Agreed.
Couples in a marriage should always strive to be the best version of themselves not only for themselves but each other.
I mean if the trade off is monogamy then step up lady lol. This is what I can’t get my head around, instead of trying to meet his needs because he’s her husband she’s passing it off almost like it’s a headache that she would rather not deal with.
Or Maybe they were never sexually compatible and now that the kids are grown she feels that part of the marriage is done. Maybe she just got tired of him for whatever reason. We don’t know and OP is not giving us much of a back story so I’m just speculating of course lol.

But this is like the stuff that happens when married couples stop dating each other and become roles, rather than two people who compliment each other and are connected as a couple, not just as parents living in the same home.

F**k that.

If she’s not interested in changing I think divorce would be the answer.

 

[lamath]

Possible she a closet lesbian.

My uncle wife left him for a women last year.
Never know might be a possibility

 

[lamath]

I agree
I think he should try to fix it but imo its a lost cause
Open mariage is not the way imo

AJ's postings is always to perpetuate the feminine imperative and convince men to adhere towards it.

I like seeing the female opinion and i respect it

However even even with my limited experience using some common sense i feel that some.advice given are realy bad and can make a situation take a turn for the worst.

Have a good weekend, Spaz.

Have a good weekend, Spaz.

Same to you. Don't forget to spend more time with hubby - which he deserves and lesser time with random faceless men on the Internet.

Good if you want to fix it.

But imo going to look elswhere is not the anwser, lack of sex is usualy a symptom of more relationship problem

I agree about lack of sex is a symptom because for the most part she has provide me with good sex for over 20 years whenever I asked. She always claimed that sex wasn't important to her (never got physical pleasure - orgasms) but was willing to keep me happy. We had regular "date nights" and I would try sometimes for an hour of foreplay and only a handful of times did I ever feel her "quiver" with what I thought could be an orgasm. Something changed in the last year or so and she started "taking away" parts of what I liked most such as I asked her to wear certain types of flattering lingerie to cover up her belly fat (says I should like her as she is), intercourse (says it hurts and was willing to give me head), then started complaining oral sex was taking to long (I liked marathon sessions). That's whenever I started talking about the option of finding sex through someone else (about 6 months ago). So yea, what changed and she started withdrawing that what I needed from her after 23 years of what I would appraise as a pretty good marriage? That's what I am trying to find out this weekend. There is the element of depression since our first child (she's 21 now) which has been a source of continuous friction because of my positive nature and belief that most depression cases are attitude self induced. I certainly do not claim to be an authority on the subject but it seams to me our culture is more than happy to medicate us into solving our problems. In some ways I feel it's a cop out for picking yourself up, kicking yourself in the ass, and get back to the land of the living.

You asked her to wear lingerie to hide her belly fat?
You know what turns women on the most? Being desired and being made to feel sexy by the man in their life. Asking someone to hide what you don’t like about their body in order to have sex with them is the complete opposite of that.
How would you feel if she asked you to put a bag over your head before having sex?

Maybe you think that it would encourage her to lose the belly fat but you said she’s depressed, perhaps this is not how to encourage her to get in better shape I don’t know.

I can see why she may not want to have sex with you after that. But I can also see how she may be vulnerable to jumping into bed with the next guy who shows more desire towards her and makes her feel sexy.
And giving you the green light to find someone who meets your needs is giving her the green light to do the same, guilt free.

Word of advice now that you are out there dating: don’t say insensitive crap like that to anyone if you want to get laid lol.
