Just re-reading the thread - so they met sometime in the spring of 2011 (while she was still married), and then they married 11/7/13? And this is her 3rd marriage? Does this sucker have no guy friends?Today is my ex-wife's 1 year wedding anniversary to her new husband.
I expect him in here any day now.
Wow, she didn't waste any time did she? Since so much time has passed have you ever thought about going to husband 1 and swapping war stories?Today is my ex-wife's 1 year wedding anniversary to her new husband.

For the new husband, it probably looked like the perfect situation. He is 15 years older than her, divorced with no kids and single for 9 years. He gets a wife and two kids to enjoy his twilight years. And they seem happy. At 57, maybe he doesn't like sex anymore. Or money.Just re-reading the thread - so they met sometime in the spring of 2011 (while she was still married), and then they married 11/7/13? And this is her 3rd marriage?

I hadn't really thought about it. Until now. I think he was a hotel doorman last time I heard at the airport. Might be worth a drive.Wow, she didn't waste any time did she?

I read his blog for a while. Interesting...I remember this thread. It was the first time I hard of Athol Kay's book ("Married Man Sex Life Primer"), which has had a really awesome effect on my marriage.
To be blunt, ####ty. Sex life is dead. Has been for months. She says she's getting her period every three weeks lately, it's heavy and lasts a week. Then she's been getting yeast infections right after. That lasts a week. So she's not exactly interested. Dry going on 5 months now. If it weren't for the kids and other things being okay, I'd be looking to divorce. Instead trying to get get into counseling. We were doing great up to the summer, but lately our marriage is a platonic friendship with kids and no benefits.I just got shot down. So I'm here. Just thought I'd share.
And no, that's not normal. We have two young boys (1 and 3) so it ain't all shaggin' all the time, but it's regular. Just not tonight.

Hope the girl you find on the side treats you nicely. They usually do, that's why you fall for them. And yes, if she finds out, it will be all your fault.

Guys think because they have kids and go to work that they can expect sex?Guys think because they have kids and go to work that they can expect sex, no, that isn't how it works. You still need to make your wife horny, which isn't hard to do if most of you weren't so lazy about it. Nothing is more unattractive than an aging out of shape male EXPECTING it.
No one has kids and says to themselves "we will probably rarely have sex now."

Hey, be nicer to your wife and she wont throw you under the bus. Get her respect and love back, put effort into having her think about you the way you did when you first started dated and you'll see things will go along much more smoothly.

And you don't resent "her not loving you." You resent going from being her best friend, the person who she wants to share everything with, to a "bank account," errand-runner, and maybe #3, #4, or #5 on her priority list. And anyone who's been a father more than a year or two understands that you don't "expect it." Ever. You miss it. You miss the two of you, the couple, before everything changed. But only the foolishly optimist would ever expect much more than a "Honey Do" list from their wife once there are other human beings for her to completely build her life and priorities around.

There's some truth to this...some. Trying harder to meet their wives' emotional needs is something all husbands in a stagnant marriage should make an effort to do. That being said, husbands are not solely responsible for their wives' happiness. Women have to take charge of that. Women who sit around and blame others for their unhappiness have to wake up to this reality and own this. Where the line is drawn between husbands falling short in meeting emotional needs and wives co-dependent on others for happiness is blurred.Enough to make her not hate life with youHow much fun do I need to have?As is she, you just aren't man enough to make her want sex, whether you spend money or not, thats the issue.
