No sex at home
Shit sex at home
Good sex at home but they're selfish and want something different.
Neglectful partner but can't/won't leave.
Seriously ill partner who they cannot leave.
I'm not cheating but these are some of the reasons I've been told. I'm sure some are lying and some will be telling the truth. |

It's obviously gone off the boil then hasn't it? Do you think that you can rekindle your relationship, or are you just looking for an escape route by cheating on her? |

Two years isn't long, if you are not compatible after that short time then I would be off |

And how much effort do you make?
I ain't talking poking her on the back with your pork sword, I'm talking showing her she's valued, appreciated and respected. Helping out around the house perhaps? Making romantic gestures maybe?

It works both ways, she might not be giving him any attention but it is always the man who is accused of it |

I guess we all marry with the best of intentions and nobody sets out or looks to cheat. Views on this are personal and depend if your were the cheater or the cheated. It’s been going on forever of course, nothing new.
The happiest time of my life was the seventeen years relationship and marriage that produced two sons. Life was good, I never thought about another woman. That all changed one night in Turin when I had dinner with a business contact that led to the most exciting sex of my life. The genie was out of the bottle. I live dangerously by the way as her husband was a member of the Caribinieri - the armed police!
I had to see her again, we fell in love. While not proud I wasn’t ashamed, even though I knew it was wrong. It broke my heart when it ended, hers also and of course my wife when she found out.
We limped on for many years but found that when the boys had grown and no longer came on holiday with us we had nothing in common and split up. Do I regret it and the hurt caused - yes of course. Do I wish it hadn’t ever happened? No!
In a perfect world nobody would cheat. We are human beings though. |

A little Story, I thought twas a brilliant one ..this man passed away ,met St.Peter at the Pearly gates ..St.Peter said to him .." you've lived a brilliant life ..totally faithful .kind and helpful..you can drive this beautiful amazing car for all eternity..the man was delighted..the next person arrived and St.Peter said to him .." now you were a bit of a boyo on earth so you can drive this motor bike for all eternity...the next appeared...St.Peter said..." Oh my..you really did the dog on it on earth didn't you ..so much unfaithfulness..etc etc...so you can cycle this bicycle for all eternity....after a while the guy who got to cycle the bike came upon the guy who got the car and he was crying with his head over the steering wheel .." the guy on the bike said .." hey man ..why are you crying..you lived a great life and got this magnificent car To drive around in for all eternity..why are you crying...?...." .he replied.." cause l've just seen my wife pass by on a skateboard ".....
.. that's only a made up story but who really knows huh ?? ..when some are " practised at the art of deception "...who knows say if a guy cheats " because the wife or girlfriend isn't giving it up to them "..that she isn't fucking big time with others .... Interesting ..not everything always seems to be what it looks like ... |

I'm not saying at all that it's one way or the other and I'm not accusing him of anything. He's already said she isn't making any effort so I've taken that as the truth, I'm simply asking if he is putting in his share so to speak. If he is then fair play to him, if he isn't then he needs to shoulder some of the responsibility.

Yes agreed , I don't think the sexual chemistry will come back tbh |

I think people cheat because they get bored of the same routine. Like having eggs and bacon every day. Spice it up , have outdoor sex , share toys be spontaneous. If that don’t work end it and move on. They say there is 1 special person for everyone u obviously haven’t found him or her yet. |

I cheated on my ex to be with Mr B but it was a one off kinda thing. I don’t like cheaters in general and although I did it, I didn’t feel good about it even if he was an utter wank stain. It’s been done to me and it wasn’t peasant. I don’t understand if you’re not happy why not just leave the other person and crack on?

Fair play to ya for trying.
You're little one must be very young if you've only been together 2 years. They can be extremely tiring as you well know.
It can be terribly hard to feel sexy after having kids. I'm not trying to make excuses for her, but there's a possibility there's more at play, maybe PND or simply not being able to get her head out of "mum mode" and back into girlfriend mode if that makes sense.
She may not even realise it's happening. Have you spoken to her about how you feel? It's pretty common for sex drive to diminish after children for a fair while.
Maybe a good honest talk would be better than cheating.

no cheating here! but also we are mature enough to accept some do and they have their reasons we dont take the moral high ground, but would not knowingly entertain someone going behind their partners back  |

That is a good point I have never thought of it from her view tbh, I know she had been suffering from pnd recently but she hasn't bothered with me for ages. I really should talk to her and say we have lost the spark together, but tbh my main priority and interest is being with my son so don't really want to split with her |

The good news is that she can recover from pnd.
The bad news is that you can't undo cheating.

It's hard living with someone who is depressed whatever the reason. It's a horrible illness that affects everyone around it. You might find that she's not able to talk at the moment but if you want the best outcome for both of you it might help if you spoke to somebody to try and get a better understanding. Good luck |

Part of depression for some people is an inability or unwillingness to talk about it, especially to a professional. At one point with my mum things got to a stage that both my dad and I spoke to a gp at her surgery, they can't do anything unless the patient themselves approaches them but it makes them aware there's a problem and if they go in about something else they can ask questions. |

I ain't talking poking her on the back with your pork sword, I'm talking showing her she's valued, appreciated and respected. Helping out around the house perhaps? Making romantic gestures maybe?
P
Alot actually always look smart smell nice and take pride in how I look for her, always take the bins out look after our kid all the time when I'm home and take her out for food and pay what not, she don't do fuck all for me tbh
Fair play to ya for trying.
You're little one must be very young if you've only been together 2 years. They can be extremely tiring as you well know.
It can be terribly hard to feel sexy after having kids. I'm not trying to make excuses for her, but there's a possibility there's more at play, maybe PND or simply not being able to get her head out of "mum mode" and back into girlfriend mode if that makes sense.
She may not even realise it's happening. Have you spoken to her about how you feel? It's pretty common for sex drive to diminish after children for a fair while.
Maybe a good honest talk would be better than cheating.

That is a good point I have never thought of it from her view tbh, I know she had been suffering from pnd recently but she hasn't bothered with me for ages. I really should talk to her and say we have lost the spark together, but tbh my main priority and interest is being with my son so don't really want to split with her
It's hard living with someone who is depressed whatever the reason. It's a horrible illness that affects everyone around it. You might find that she's not able to talk at the moment but if you want the best outcome for both of you it might help if you spoke to somebody to try and get a better understanding. Good luck
Definitely agree, I have told her to speak to the doctor as I've tried helping her with it to no avail "
I've been in a similar situation to the one you're currently in, if I could offer you a few honest words...
Firstly; talk to her, she will know that something is up with you and that you're not fully invested with her. It may be contributing to how she's feeling currently.
Secondly; if you don't want to be with her, then do the right thing. End it and do it with respect, you are going to have a relationship with her through your child for a very very long time, mutual trust and respect is paramount in that. You child will grow up better knowing two happy parents than two miserable ones.
Thirdly; depression is an awful awful thing, it is debilitating and insidious, get her help and get her talking. It is an illness, just the same as cancer and it can be just as hard to survive.
Relationships aren't just about sex, they are about support and mutual care, sometimes it's uneven and you feel like you're doing the heavy lifting. If you're only in it for the fun times then respect her enough to let her find someone that will give her the full package.

"Me and because I ain't getting my end away with her and she makes no effort for me
How long have you been together and what drew you to her in the first place?

"I think people cheat because they get bored of the same routine. Like having eggs and bacon every day. Spice it up , have outdoor sex , share toys be spontaneous. If that don’t work end it and move on. They say there is 1 special person for everyone u obviously haven’t found him or her yet. "
You are so right, so easy to get stuck in a rut of kids, life and work. It's hard being a parent, can take its toll. As well as bring lots of joy obviously.

It's easy for me to say with the benefit of hindsight and at more than twice your age.
Good luck to you and everyone involved |
