My husband's orientation is not the one he told me when I chose him. He has no choice but to seek sexual satisfaction elsewhere. As far as I am concerned, our marriage no longer has a sexual component and never will again. He is free to do with that what he will. I figure I can do a lot worse than spending every day with my very best friend. But I'm not fucking him anymore. That's done. I agree with Ellie that his pretending at one orientation, and making me suffer through the consequences of that, constitutes a breach of our marriage promises. He can do whatever he wants with his penis. Lord knows I see to the care of my needs my own way. If he doesn't like my terms, he knows he can finish paying for my house, which I told him he owes me for uprooting me under false pretenses, and go wherever he wants. I didn't want a mixed orientation marriage, and I wanted monogamy. If I had my life to do over, I probably would have accepted a proposal from a friend I stopped sleeping with when I started dating my husband. Maybe not. But if I had known my husband wasn't heterosexual, and had all this confusion about just what his sexual identity is, I would not have married him in the first place.
I don't know your wife. I don't know you. I know me. I know my problem with his orientation is that we have never had a particularly good sexual connection. I expect when his mother dies he will come up with some drawn out confession that he needs to go out and live his truth. After everything we have been through together, I'll probably be forced to harm him if that comes to pass. I gave up a lot tying my life to his. I don't care who he wants to fuck of he comes home every day. If after all I have endured because I love him, knowing everything he knows about me and my emotional needs, if he wants to abandon our marriage altogether, he's probably going to suffer.
I don't know your wife. I only know me.
I am not the one that stopped the sex she did so everyone get off there high horse about it we were playing around when she pegged me we both wanted to try it at the time then she decided to stop it cause didn't turn her on so were just not sexual compatible anymore and I don't extort my wife I was thinking about her welfare if she decided to leave me I AM JUST NOT GONNA PUT UP WITH THE NO SEX IN OUR LIFE ANYMORE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER She might not want to have sex but I do ..so she has made her choice time for me to make my choice ....Not even a kiss or hug out of her for 10 years now
I don’t think anyone is on a high horse here. I See several females sharing some very personal positions w you, giving a female point of view to a question asked by you. No one is attacking you, they are giving you honest input.
It sounds like you both have lost touch w communication. No relationship is perfect, You both have needs, if the situation was really as cut and dry as you say you wouldn’t be here.
You both need to communicate more about your feelings, needs. Be kind, compassionate remember it’s not all about your needs. She has needs too.
Is a lack of intimacy a reason to throw your marriage away? Ultimatums very rarely bring good outcomes.
“She made her choice time for you to make yours”
Is a bit harsh.
I have the utmost respect for anyone that honors their vows through thick and thin.
Marriage isn’t easy, it takes a lot of work.
You have needs that aren’t getting met, does she have needs?
My advice would be spend some time yourself to weigh the pro’s - con’s (Positive and negatives) out - Then sit down and have a heart to heart.
I don’t think having someone else tell your wife is a good idea. That’s just me.
If you walk into the situation with that attitude you made your decision now I’m making mine it isn’t
Going to go well. If you want understanding then give her understanding.
