My Sexless Marriage is Killing Me: A Man’s Story

Marriage is supposed to be a bond of love, trust, and intimacy. That’s what I thought when I married my wife. But somewhere along the way, things changed. And now, my sexless marriage is killing me.

I feel empty, disconnected, and like I’m all alone in this relationship.

It’s hard to explain how much it hurts, but I’ll try.

When the Intimacy Faded

It didn’t happen all at once. At first, it was just a busy week. Then, there were excuses.

Tired from work, not feeling well, or stressed out. I told myself it was normal. But weeks turned into months, and months have now become years.

I started to feel like I wasn’t wanted.

Like I wasn’t good enough. I wondered if she found me unattractive. Was she seeing someone else?

Or was it something I did?

I tried talking to her. It didn’t go well. “It’s not a big deal,” she’d say, brushing it off like it didn’t matter. But it did. It mattered a lot to me.

Feeling Rejected and Alone

It’s hard for a man to admit he feels rejected. But that’s exactly what I feel.
