A) who in the history of earth has ever used a blow up doll, and b) I guess that kind of is what I’m saying, presupposing that her “feelings” regarding being asked to open up the relationship or renegotiate the terms of their sex life would be strong and negative enough to end the relationship before the infidelity…

What would the comments on that article be like? “I can’t believe this asshole divorced his wife because he wasn’t getting enough sex from her. Doesn’t he know that women don’t OWE men sex?” “Wow, he couldn’t just stick it out for the kids? Those poor kids will grow up in a broken home because dad wanted sex…

Spoken like somebody who’s never been in a committed relationship for years. You will try anything and make yourself believe anything (it’s just a phase, their libido will come back, we’re both just so busy with work, we just had a kid, thing will get better) to make it work. Cheaters are cheaters, and I get that, but…

The question then becomes - if you go to your partner and openly and honestly ask to either open the marriage or come to some other form of extra-marital agreement due to the current one not working out, are we expecting a fully reasonable response?

Haha, I love that every other comment in this thread is like ‘why didn’t they just divorce”, as if that’s cheap/easy/less consequential than an affair.

Yeah, divorce is probably the better option here. Like, if your marriage isn’t working because of mismatched sex drives, you should hire a really expensive lawyer and split up all your assets and agree to pay half your income in child support and alimony and then your kids can see you every other weekend and on…

I’m not a parent, but I’m working very hard to show the kids in my life examples of boundaries and respect for other people’s bodies. My nephew is 3. I ask him “can I please have a hug?” If he doesn’t want to, I don’t grab him and make him hug me. Likewise, if I ask him to please not jump on me and he does it anyway,…

Mine too. I truly wonder if anyone but a woman would understand this feeling.

Manager: “Did you get their order right this time?”

You can’t put them in hotel safes, you can’t hang their cradle from the bough of a tree....I mean WHAT IS LEFT?!!?
