I have stayed  A wasted unhappy life.
If you are young and can start again Do It.
Do they say it will /can be an open marriage where you can find sex else where?
If you love them and they you stay. Is it health reasons or lack of libido .. can it be fixed? so many questions and reasons for this happening. |

I stayed for 15 years, but 3 years ago I realised I couldn't face the rest of my life never having sex again. It was a hard decision, but my life is so much better now in every way. |

If you love somebody enough to want to stay - then you don't have to question things - you talk and work out things that are best for both of you...
If you have to ask the question - then there isn't enough love or reason left to stay, is there...?

Only you can answer that question.
You need to work out what your marriage means to you, what is important & the consequences should you stay or leave.
Sex plays a part in marriage, if both parties are happy to abstein then so be it. If only one wants to that can cause issues for the other ~ resentment, hurt, insecurity to name a few.
Good luck x

"You do what's right for you.
I always think that unless you walk a mile in someone else's shoes you don't fully understand why anyone does anything. "
Trouble with that is, by the time you get back some bugger has nicked your shoes  |

In my last relationship, I was celibate for 5 years. I stayed because I cared and it's amazing what you will put up with when you do. However, I realised what he wanted was someone to look after him on his terms and there was no thought for me and my needs, so I ended it. It was the best thing I ever did. |

I would stay, I can live without sex, it's not the be all of a relationship/marriage. Cuddling, kissing etc is enough for me.
But I'm never having a relationship again so I can do as I please without answering to anyone apart from my parents. I never have to think about what wedding planning, buying baby clothes etc.
Quite looking forward to spending the rest of my life on my own  |

Perhaps sit each other down and discuss. Maybe the sex needs to be re-invigoratef. Perhaps the person desiring sex can suggest permission to seek it elsewhere so long as it isn't in the marital bed... Though if it was that could well be the catalyst for re-invigorating...... 
certainly it is important to discuss this with your partner. |

Four years ago my wife had an emergency hysterectomy; after it she said that she no longer felt like a women, we've only had sex five times since then. I've tried to help her I've been patient, suggested seeking help but she says I should just give her time. I truly love her so I don't want to leave her but I need sex so here I am |

No - I asked her to consider letting me play on here but she wont.
I know its cheating but it works for me - I had started to be angry about the situation but now I'm on here I find it easier to live with. |

So if she said no why come on here? Sex isn't a need, in my eyes |

But they are not your eyes. You need to see the world through the other persons.
It doesn't necessarily condone cheating on your partner but the world isn't made up of merely black white but rather a rainbow of colours. Sometimes it's hard to see how the rainbow looks to someone else.

"Because it is to me - give it up for four years then let me know if you still feel the same (in your eyes)"
I've gone longer and didn't make a difference. She already feels less like a woman, cheating might make her feel even less. Do you have any idea how she'll feel if she found out or if you tell her? I found out through a friend that my fiance had cheated on me twice |

"Your partner expects you to live in a totally sexless marriage. Do you stay or leave? "
It would depend on if I was in love and being loved.
If there was no love there then I would leave, if the rest of the relationship was fine then I could probably do without sex and just diddle a lot |

depends how highly you consider sex to be as a part of a relationship.
me, i could live without.
sex has never been high up on my priority list of things in life anyway, and am as happy having a wank as i am having sex.
as was said, loveless however, no, i would walk away.
wouldnt cheat anyway, thats for damned sure |

I think as your a couple you need to discuss this together.
It really would depend on a number of things within the marriage, but if we loved each other and was in love with each other, and sex wasn't happening for whatever reasons, then yes I would stay in the marriage, as sex isn't everything |

"Well I stayed. I was not happy though. To this day I have a complex. I always wonder why I was so repulsive to him. "
God I could have written that! I was in a sexless relationship for seven years, I didn't look at anyone else, wasn't interested, and then he ended things. Not a surprise really, with hindsight, but devastating at the time. |

Its not always as cut and dried as just being able to up and leave.....but it is soul destroying over time.
