I Am Married But Lonely

I am continuing to be astonished with the magnitude of my loneliness with my wife sitting just three feet away. How did it get to this and why can't we fix it?
We no longer talk or touch.
And I keep thinking "If only...".

I understand how you feel. I haven't had any intimacy for months and even then I was disappointed

@modestmary I'm so sorry to hear that. It can be very difficult to exist in such a situation. I hope that things can get better for you.

@OzDiver thank you. I keep hoping things will change

OzDiver · 61-69, M

@modestmary Yes, I've spent the last five years doing the same. 😔

I thought I might find satisfaction here but I haven't met anyone I feel comfortable with yet.

@modestmary It can be difficult to negotiate all the complex personalities here, so I know exactly what you mean.

I ve met some nice people... only been on SW a few days ... but some are really kind of vulgar. I'm no prude but I also am not a slut. I would not mind some intimate conversation but some just jump right in with some pretty coarse talk without knowing anything about me.

@modestmary Yes, unfortunately that seems to be a common experience on here. There are some very forward and very vulgar folks on here who don't take the time to get to know you first. Unfortunately you may need to apply the block button to a few folks.

@modestmary You are most welcome. And also, please feel welcome to private message me if you wish to chat.

@OzDiver thank you I would like that. I don't always have the space but I would like to make a friend

@modestmary Lovely. I will keep an eye on my inbox. :)
