A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

So this is a wierd situation. I met my soul mate. We are completely in love. We have the same values and morals. The thing that keeps us from being together is our sex life. It is horrible!!! And when i say horrible i mean it. We do not mix at all. We tried to work on it but thats the only thing that we fight about. We ended our relationship and continue to be the best of friends. Now heres the problem, we want to have children together as friends. Is this a good idea? I need advice.

Why dont you just be in a sex-less marriage or something. I think you should still get married. Just dont have sex with each other. Surely you dont want to have kids together and still see other people. You might get pregnaunt by the other person, or your soul mate might get someone else pregnant.

dragonette agony auntWell, there are married couples who stop having sex after some time together, and there are parents who live in different houses and share the care for the children...

So yes, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to start a family. Of course it's a bit unconventional to start a family based on friendship, but to me it sounds like an experimental but beautiful idea.

Just be prepared for a lot of raised eye-brows when your acquaintances hear about this. =)

Well, here in the UK, the government have just decided to force religious-based adoption charities to place children with homosexual couples (because they all refused)... so, I guess if it's alright for homosexuals then it's alright for soul-mates, love is love?!?! I'm going to have to draw the line at chimpanzee's and squirrels being parents to our future generations though.
