Question - (16 June 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 16 June 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, *ess4808 writes:

I'm 26 and just had my one year anniversary. My husband and I have been together for seven years. I've realized I married my bestfriend and not someone I'm attracted to. We have never had a great sex life and now I feel like I'm really losing out on something. Part of me thinks if I cheat one time and get the thoughts out of my head it will be over. I've even considered divorse but we get along well just really no sex or attraction. Any help?

passionatelynumb agony auntTalk this out, go to counseling, and if all else fails, then consider divorce. Whatever you do, DON'T cheat on your husband.

You would be worse than just a cheater. You would be an alduterer and have to carry that stigma with you for the rest of your life.

GrimmReality agony auntYEAH!

ITS A NOVEL CONCEPT CALLED MARRIAGE COUNSELING!

Don't stoop to the disgusting level of cheater. No one for any reason ever deserves to be cheated on. It is the ultimate disrespect and betrayal. You get that brand for life and you will be very sorry, for its something you cant come back from. Please consider approaching your husband and get counselling. He may not even know there is a problem. You cant find love in your marriage if you are looking outside of it. Its up to you to take the responsible action here, since you have the isues. Give him the benefit of the doubt and work to rediscover why you fell in love in the first place.
