Would you stay in a marriage if you are sexually unsatified?

Question

Answer

Marriage is beyond physical. Love and passion come and go,theyre not a constant.

Answer

No. My sexuality is a huge part of who I am. It's how I communicate with my partner. If my partner wasn't interested in learning or practicing what satisfies me, it would be like him saying, "I do not speak yourr language, and I'm not interested in learning." He might as well be saying, "i don't want to talk to you." What's a relationship without communication. Im not asking him to be completely fluent, but attempts, real attempts, are a must. I see a lot of wom n who say they haven't had sex in 3 months, 6 months, a year. Nope. Without a verified medical reason, im outta there. I've been in a sexless marriage before, and I will never do that again. I know that not everyone feels that way. I made sure to communicate my needs with my husband before we started our relationship, that way it wouldn't be a surprise. Luckily for me, he feels the exact same way.

Answer

Sigh. A year ago I would have said yes. Then try not having any sex at all in the past 8 months in a 3 year marriage and I'm really not sure how much longer I can do this. I've talked myself dry. I've cried. I've pleaded. Proposed counselling. Proposed sex therapy. And it's not just the sex. There is no affection or intimacy whatsoever which I think has  evolved as a result of the broken connection.
My self esteem has taken quite a blow as I think it must be me. Maybe it wa  the miscarriage. maybe it was the extra pounds that came with the pregnancy that had nowhere to go.
The lack of sex us not just about satisfying the physical for me. It's about emotional fulfillment. So.....No.

Answer

Yes. So many people think relationships are disposable nowadays. Nobody has any staying power, nobody willing to work issues out. It's sad. Vows obviously mean fuck all to the majority who get married, or there wouldn't be the disgusting divorce rates we have. People get married too soon and for the wrong reasons. Don't say those words unless you can actually mean them. Marriage is more than a party in a pretty dress ffs!

Answer

Meant to vote yes oops

Answer

If I was committed to someone, MARRIED, I am theirs, mind, body, and soul. Sex will eventually fizzle out anyway with age and normal life changes. BUT! I also wouldn't get married to someone who wasn't sexually compatible with me...

Answer

I wouldn't marry someone who can't sexually satisfy me. If there is a point in our marriage where I find myself wanting more or a rough patch of sorts, I don't leave. I look at that as temporary and look forward to reconnecting.

Answer

CRAP! I meant to click yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Marriage is about LOVE, not SEX.

Answer

Sure. If I can have a fwb on the side. If not, then no. 
Sex isn't everything, but speaking as someone who is in a long term relationship and who hasn't gotten any action in 8 months despite living together and seeing each other every day, sex IS IMPORTANT. 
Unless you both have no libido. Then it's not important at all.

Answer

I dont know, probably not.
