Dawg, I’m not reading 7 pages of stupid arse responses.

Are you really complaining about having sex once a gatdam week????

Kids suck sometimes. Life is hard, marriage is harder. Sack the frick up and figure out what makes her tick. And then sit her down and tell her what makes you feel appreciated. My wife and I couldn’t be more different when it comes to what makes us fe loved but once we talked about it and we each knew each others love languages our lives improved tremendously.

Im sorry you’re where your at, I hope you and your bride find the spark you each need soon.

Be an adult and ride it out until your kids are adults. Who knows, maybe y’all will rekindle the spark in the meantime.

To be fair, the responses are mostly serious and well thought out.

The love languages exercise is valuable

It takes work

You don’t have to be married forever… just one day at a time

Women become moms when the kids come along. You become less important.

I suggest a talk with an emphasis on how you feel and what you want but with an open mind as to where she’s at.

Divorce is a horrible thing to do to kids.

Try to work it out

If you are on a pipeline job 2 on 2 off you have bigger problems than you think.

You’re getting laid once a week and wanting to divorce over that!?


You know you can romance her still too, right? Get the fire flashing between you. Get her motor running hot and you might find some of that missing passion

You'll never be happy if this is your standard

ETA: not saying this in a boomer "oh lolz you'll never get any" way, but a relationship, and especially a marriage is SO much more than that. If you can't understand that at a bare fricking minimum, you never should've gotten married

I have absolutely no good advice for this, but I'm just in for the replies.

If your wife tells you that a divorce means that you get the kids and she'll get them on weekends would you still want it?

Easily the most surprising part of the replies is the apparent result that I’m on the more frequent end of sex at 1/week 10 years into marriage. What are you guys doing at having sex once each month, jacking off three weeks a month?

I have two small kids and it’s been very difficult. This is a trying season but stick it out man. The long term destruction a divorce does to kids on its own makes it not worth it.

Dig in, get to work, make sacrifices, open up communication, help her more around the house and with the kids, make time to spend together away from the kids, have date nights, be kind and thoughtful.

It will get better just stick through it and it will be worth it.

Remember that you still have to be a couple. Find time for each other. Do something fresh. Do NOT divorce because you're a little tired.

I mean things change, more on their end than ours. If you need to jerk it twice a week then sex with her once a week so be it. Pro tip; jerk it twice the day before your “ day with her” and make her earn it.
