I Live In a Sexless Marriage

A few minutes ago my husband gave me a hug and a kiss telling how he thinks i look yummy and how he wants to make me happy.
Then he stopped after and continued what he was doing.

You see what he does. If he was violent and abusive at least that would be an excuse to walk away.

How am I going to explain "why I left" ?

I have been there. To the outside world, mine is sweet and loving and giving. She wears a mask. I have no advice worth giving since I haven't left either. It would be easier if there were some terrible thing. I used to wish for her to have an affair or announce that she was gay. The fact that she just isn't interested in sex with anyone is not the kind of thing one shares. I think if you get the courage to leave, you won't need to justify it to anyone else. You grew apart is all anyone needs to hear

I came here after EP closed down. I found great comfort in knowing that this was not something in which I was all alone. I hope you find it similarly comforting
