Well if the reason that you got married for waqs too have sex then yes but I think that there should have been a little more substance to the marriage then that.
She expects you to be miserable forever? What if you told her you were only in the mood to talk to her every 1-2 months? Would she be satisfied with that forever? Why not let her find somebody with no interest in sex and you find somebody that is, and you both can live happily ever after.
You shouldn't divorce your wife because you're not gettin' any. That's lame. You're probably not doing it for her or you are not in tune with the opposite sex.
I hear ya you guys probely have fallen out of love I know how it feels sorry to hear good luck to you
In many states it is grounds for divorce. I do suggest marriage counseling to work things out. It is unfortunate, but your story is all to familiar my friend.
Divorce is a personal decision based on your ideas and thoughts. I would recommend though that you try to find the reasoning why your wife isn't feeling Sexual anymore - it could be she's gained a few lbs. or that she just doesn't feel sexy any more. Before you throw your entire marriage out the window over sex you need to find the underlying issue(s). If nothing else works (counseling, talking, etc.) then perhaps throw the idea of a divorce out there - if you both agree then perhaps that's what's best for your marriage and relationship as friends. Honestly, being a woman it sounds like something is bothering her - not that she's not physically attracted to you or cheating.
I agree with mommof2; this is probably the symptom and not the real problem.
It can be used. It has been used.
Didn't you read the marriage manual. When you got married you gave up all right to request when you are going to get some marital intimacy. Its in the small print in the chapter about a wife's rights and responsibilities. It is repeated as a footnote in the chapter about a husband's expectations. That is the shortest chapter in the book. You need to look in the chapter regarding a husband's reason for divorce. You should be able to find it it is only one paragraph. The wives reason for divorce chapter is tough to digest as it is about 100 pages or more. Follow your heart. edit, wow, I need to reread the one about " I don't feel sexy so you don't get any" section.
Have you considered finding out if she is depressed or ill in some way? Go from there, she really might just have a valid reason.
I feel your pain.
It depends, in the US you don't need a reason to get divorced any more. Irreconcilable differences pretty much means.. we just don't want to be married anymore. That said, in Judaism (traditionally speaking), only the woman can file for divorce based on lack of sex, not the man. I always thought that was interesting.
the law states u can file for divorce if your wife does noty give u sex for a whole year
It depends on your perception and your faith. If you are a christian. The Bible states that once you make a vow to marriage that your body is no longer yours and hers is no longer hers, you are now one flesh. She should not withhold. You shouldnt divorce her becasue of it but seek counsel. Call your pastor or seek counsel from a marriage counselor. Or take her to see this movie. Fireproof.
I think it is grounds for divorce, but only after other option is tried. Try talking to each other about it, there could be a simple explanation. Seek professional help as another option. Bottom line is some people are fine with 1-2 months. I think if the situation goes unchecked, it could lead to affairs and divorce. If you continue to go the course more than likely you will end up with two unhappy people.
In some states you may be able to claim that as the reason for divorce, however I have to agree, getting divorced because of that one problem is a bit much... have you considered counceling? Talking to her about it, seeing if she has any hormonal problems (despite what men think, they can cause serious problems with libido and other health issues as well) You would have check your state laws to see what terms you would use for the lack of intimacy, this may help you: http://document-do-it-yourself-service.com/divorce_laws/state_divorce_laws.html
