Why is your marriage sexless and what can you do about it?
It could be a couple of things if he/she not spending anytime with you always away from home don't want to do anything with you it might be a another man/woman.
It could also be that his/her libido has gone down and sex doesn't interest them as much as it once did. There could be medical & hormonal causes--if the spouse would cooroperate a full medical checkup is indicated, including checking thyroid and testosteron levels--important for both men and women.
It could also be due to depresession, or as a side effect of anti-depressive drugs. Some anti-depressive drugs do not negatively effect libido or might even positively affect it-selegiline for example. If he/she would cooperate sex therapy or "sex coaching" (do a search on the term) would be worth trying.
A person in this situation needs to have a very frank discussion with their husband or wife, and find out why their spouse doesn't want to have sex with them. You might not like the answers (there could be multiple reasons given). It may be as simple as they no longer love you and do not find you sexually desirable.
If your spouse won't have sex with you, and there is no medical reason, or if there is a medical reason he/she won't pursue medical treatment, then ideally you need to get a divorce. You deserve the physical pleasure of sex, the emotional connection that only sexual intimacy brings, and the affirmation of your worth that comes from being sexually desired.
If for some reason you don't want to do that, then tell him/her that you now have an "open" marriage, and you will be getting your sexual and intimacy needs met elsewhere. Perhaps he/she will do the same. If they are not OK with this perhaps this will shock them into taking action.
He never wanted to go and has only just been able to say he doesn't want to go. I suggest you speak to him about it and not accuse him of not wanting to go!
When you use the term "married man" and "mistress", it can be assumed that the married man is cheating on his wife for said mistress. It is strongly believed that to be a good father, you must also be a good man. This is because it gives the child a role model to look up to; someone for the son to model themselves after, and for the daughter to see how a true man should act and how he should treat them.
At the moment, by cheating on his wife, the married man is not showing either of his own children how to behave or what to accept as good treatment.
That aside, however, the issue of his mistresses son is a tricky one. Of course any pair of lovers would want some alone time, but the question stands on how the mother is "pushing aside" her son. Is she spending less time with him than she did when she wasn't dating? That's natural, though it can be very hard on the child at first, and they should be reminded that they are still the loved by the now-dating parent.
Or, is she simply neglecting the son? If the married man is encouraging this neglect (leaving the child in the care of someone else for prolonged periods of time, neglecting to care for basic needs such as feeding, ensuring proper hygiene, helping them academically, ect) than there is something wrong with the situation and both husband and mistress need to back away and focus on their children's needs before their own.
Overall, the whole situation is unhealthy as it is showing the children that cheating is "ok". I would suggest gently revealing to the husband that he is being a bad example for his children and needs to change his actions. Thank you for using Ask.com!
My husband left me for another woman and yet is still with me i can't let go?
It would be better just to let him go because you are giving him the impression that he can have you and the other woman. You are leting him think that it is ok to do that to you. I know that it is hard to let go, but if he is with the both of you then he does not care about either one of you and you are better off finding someone that will care and love you and you alone.
How can you tell if your wife is going through the menopause change?
Menopause can happen at any age, it is a long process and has three distinct stages. The obvious signs of: hot flashes and night sweats, depression, mood swings, dry skin and hair, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, vaginal dryness, bone density loss, changes in libido and sexual enjoyment, occur in the middle (perimenopause) stage. The North American Menopause Society http://www.menopause.org/Consumers.aspx and Womens Health UK http://www.womens-health.co.uk/menopause.html look at this devastating, inevitable, life changing subject in a really positive way and from all perspectives. Their advice is outstanding. Please visit the sites, the subject is too vast and complex for this forum. The best support you can give is just being there and riding out the storm. And break out the vitamin B6.
How do you see yourself ten years from now as a married person?
* Considering I will be married 37 years I feel I'll be even doing better in the next ten years if God grants me that life span. Marriage has it's problems, but it's through good communication skills, loyalty, honesty, protecting each other and true love (not always passion) that makes you stronger.
When you cry why does your husband just walk away?
Your husband might walk away when you cry because he feels unable to help you or unable to handle your tears. He might also walk away because he is sad himself and feels strange about showing those feelings.
Should your wife sit at the back of the car?
Of course not. She should sit right up front as a sign of her equal place in the world. She should not be relegated to the back of the car, the back of the bus or the back end of life. She should be an active participant in your life together. In fact, she should be driving that car.
Answer:
It depends on the circumstances and is entirely up to the occupants. There are no social conventions to be applied.
If your partner dies would you still be classified as being married?
I would be honest and vulnerable and tell your husband exactly what you are concerned about. You are responsible to your heart. Your husband is responsible to his. You cant change anything if he still wants to spend time with her , but you can know where you stand and decide what you do next.
What is Eros Philia and agape?
Philia is the love we feel for our friends, family, and things. It's a love that is dispassionate, that can be applied to animals as well as activities. This is the basic kind of love, that can be meant when one says, "Oh, I love that TV show."
Agape is the love of the spirit. It's the sort of love that arises from situation, and deep understanding between people. For the ancient greeks, this is the kind of love that warriors felt. It inspired them to sacrifice themselves for one another. It is also applied to religious love. For many people this is the highest form of love they will feel.
Eros is passionate love, but it is not limited to sexual passion. Eros is touched by the beauty within, which creates a longing. It is the force which inspires not only lovers, but philosophy as well. It is this love that envelopes you, and fills you with euphoria. Some people think this is what they feel when they first meet someone, but they are confusing it with mere desire.
All these loves can be applied to spouses, friends, and family, and is not limited to any one word.
What was the name of the wedding song the newly-married couple danced to in Last Chance Harvey?
"Baby I'm Yours"
It maybe just his way of diverting the attention off of him, and you may want to have him checked out. That is usually behavior of someone that is not doing right themselves.
You can start convincing him by reassuring him of things he may suspect of you, i.e. always receiving blocked phone calls or talking on the phone more often than you used to. Obviously there are telltale signs that he believes you are cheating, and it is not necessarily that he is doing it himself. Some guys need the same reassurance that you love them. He may fear that other guys find you attractive and it may not help that you unknowingly respond to these guys, which some guys take as flirtation. What would you want him to do to prove he isn't cheating if the roles were reversed?
What if you have done everything to reassure your spouse that nothing is going on? Things like writing down the milage on your car, screening phone calls and not giving out phone numbers. He has open access to my cell phone and email and I have nothing to hide. But he says there is something in his head telling him that I am cheating and he can't get rid of it, nothing I do seems to convince him.
You can not. Just leave him and start to live without being big-brothered.
then he is a paranoid dillisional and very insecure...leave him and find someone that is secure!!!!
For me it is not the right thing to be in love with another man when you are into a relationship. You should realized that you are a married woman and you vow for a marriage tie between you and your husband. Concentrate yourself and do anything and everything for your family. Think of your children if in case you have children. Definitely they don't like a broken family, they will be affected emotionally. Be strong when it comes to the aspect of the heart and hope you decide with help of your mind.
