Early on in marriage sex was good to great. It’s now been over 2 years since my wife made a statement that she doesn’t want to have sex. Of course there have been a few in between moments. I used to chase and when I did she felt wanted. I stopped chasing or flirting since she has no interest in sexual connection. Now it’s turned into “I’m not connected” or “I’m not attracted anymore”.
I fully get this is a differing love language and I also have resentment. This has been communicated. Other forms of intimacy have been explored. They are short and a bit empty.
I now seek validation, attention, sparks from others here. My brain and body need chemistry. It’s lacking if not gone entirely. At what point do I just have an affair, seek pleasure online or communicate an open relationship. The open part I’m almost like why not just leave.
