49M / 47F - been married 23 years. I need some advice from the community.
My wife and I have been going through a rough patch as we have very different wants regarding intimacy. I’ve been struggling for years to separate intimacy and sex but she has admitted while she likes a cuddle she doesn’t want anything else….ever.
This puts me in a difficult position - I like being with her but can’t face a future without sex. On average throughout our marriage it has averaged once every 10 weeks which has been torment enough.
For those who say ‘why would I stay?’, what can I say - I love her. For those who say ‘stop thinking with your dick, there are more important things’ I get it but I have needs!
She recently said she can’t give me what I need and I should find it elsewhere - I’m not sure but she’s said she likes me being around so I think she wants me to be a companion and to fulfill my physical needs with someone else. I’m not sure if that’s a wise path but it seems like the best option for me.
Anyway - I’m not asking for moral judgement but for constructive advice and suggestions on what I should consider and what to do next??
