I dont know where else to turn...
My husband and I have always had a slower than average sexual relationship. We have been together for 8 years. I knew we were having sex less than our friends, but we were both ok with it. We were happy and that is all that mattered. We are currently only sexual about 5 times a year!! This is no longer acceptable to me. We are very much in love and we are intimate and loving, just not sexually. When we do have intercourse its good, just not often enough. I don't know why I am recently so driven. I have heard that women go through their sexual peak in their 30's. Maybe that is what it is.
All of a sudden I feel like a cat in heat!!! I think about it constantly.
I love my husband more than anything and I do not want a divorce. We have talked about it several times and he has no libido. He was taking welbutrin for a time because our doctor thought maybe it would help. Not really. He says that he is tired. I understand that. He works long hard hours. He also said that there are so many other things on his mind (finances, kids, work, etc) that he is never in the mood. I am so tired of initiating and most times being turned down
He says that I am not the problem, and to be honest I am not willing to change for anyone anyway. Not being arrogant, but I am fine with me and if he isnt that is his problem. Not mine. I take care of myself, bathe regularly arent morbidly obese...
I feel like this is the only aspect of our marriage that I am not over the moon happy about. Sure I could keep on like now, but I think I would resent him eventually.
I normally am not an advocate of affairs at all, but Im starting to think that if I could have a little bit on the side my life would be perfect. I know that it sounds crazy. I cant believe it myself. I have a good friend that is more than willing to help me, but I wonder how dangerous this is.
Again, I have no desire for an emotional relationship with anyone else. Just sex
Take pity on me....my hormones are raging
