					<description><![CDATA[My relationship has only been sexually kind to me about 3 - 4 times a.year for a long time, been married since 01, and I feel like our relationship is to the point of no return.  We have 5 kids , which is the the reason I&#039;m still here. When I ask for the dreaded SEX word i feel like I only get a rotation of excuses why i cant. I&#039;ve asked her 1000 questions about the pro lem, bought libido pills, asked her to go to the doctor,  i was even about to leave a couple years ago with a apartment ready to go
 I told her i was walking away from our relationship because i didn&#039;t want to cheat on her again 
 Yes she knows and when I did it was because of the lack of sex and constant excuse that pushed me away. And yet we decided to stay together and the exact same issue is here again.  I worked out of town for awhile in the oilfields of Texas and never cheated, but often thought about it. I guess the point of me typing this is I&#039;m very frustrated,  and as I look back there may have been times when I was depressed and didn&#039;t even realize it . My frustration at this point feels normal. I feel stuck.  Today is our 20th Anniversary and here I am sitting her thinking about  walking away. There is a lot more I could  type but that&#039;s it for now. 

Everyone be Blessed]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just recently got married and found out that my new husband has ED! I knew when I got into the relationship with him that he was a full time caretaker of his mother, which he always said leaves him exhausted..So this is why I never pressed the issue. He is now telling me that I was naive to assume that when u get married that I should expect sex. He also told me that marriage was created to procreate and we are pass the age to procreate.  I&#039;m only 45 and if I haven&#039;t had surgery I could carry a child, and he is 54 and I advised him that if he didnt have ED he could make a baby until he is about 90 years old. I haven&#039;t been married long but I am looking to get this annulled. I do not want to be in a sexless marriage. He told me that there is not much he can or will do because sex is just not a priority at this moment. And he cant walk around worrying about something that he cant control(he has diabetes)!!! Its so freaking frustrating when this is my honeymoon phase and there is nothing happening in the bedroom. No I dont get any foreplay because he says he is too exhausted to do that too. He says I should have discussed this with him before we got married. Believe I noticed that we never had sex when I tried to initiate it he always said he was exhausted!! I simply thought he was tired I never thought he had ED!!! ..This man has certainly opened my eyes. NEVER AGAIN!!! GOTS TO DO MORE Research!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sexually I am very accommodating to my husband. Not only am I sexually attracted to him but I also know that it&#039;s important for me to meet his needs regardless if I&#039;m in the mood.
I could be wrong but I think I get the short end of the stick here. I won&#039;t go on I could prove my point but I&#039;m not going to do it.
I sent him this article and I swear the only thing he got out of this was I do not want to have sex anymore.
He said that he read it. But I know him he skimmed it.]]></description>

Seems you did not know him so well before getting married. Did you meet via social media? Seems you did. In any case, i will advice you to hold out on starting a family (having children) with him. Study him, and relationship, for a few years. If after 2 years you still can&#039;t see any change in him towards you, make your move. Ending a relationship is less complicated without children #ijs]]></description>
