That would be really tough, I would prob. try to work it out, and if that didn;t work. Then get a divorce. Depending if you have small kids, i would try to stay together. On the question would you cheat, no i wouldn't do that, marriage is a contract that both people have to live up too. But in a sexless marriage i would stay and try to work it out, and if that didn;t happen then divorce, cuz you can;t keep on going like that, cuz you will eventually cheat

ANY kids under 18 are a serious consideration there. Even if they aren't little kids, if you divorce the woman because you ain't gettin' no puss, you're basically telling the kid "Sex is all that matters, kthx"

Which is a dangerous thing to be telling a 12-18 year old.
But you can argue that act of sex is an show of affection for your significant other. By not having sex, you are basically telling the other person, "I don't love you enough to want to sleep with you".
Not necessarily. There are MANY factors that can contribute to a decline in sexual activity in a marriage. My wife had to have a hysterectomy after our third child. For a while, sex was very painful to her. In fact it still is to an extent. In addition, raising three young children is VERY draining. She is constantly tired, which is completely understandable, which makes it even harder to get "in the mood". These factors have lead to a less sexual relationship than we have ever had, but to be honest, our marriage is very strong right now. I know she WANTS to have more intimacy, but it's just not possible right now.

On the bright side, when we do get time away from the kids, we screw like rabbits.

thats the differance, she wants to be intimate with you. I think we are talking about somone who doens;t even want to be intimate even if they could. Total lack of affection and attraction.

There has to be a REASON why your mate won't sleep with you any longer. I'd try to find that reason first and see if it can be remedied. Regardless, I would not cheat.

What if she said your wang was too small?

No such thing. If you don't know how to satisfy a woman, a 12" schlong will not do you any good. Size, is the last thing you should worry about.
 
In such a marriage a lack of sex seems incidental or symptomatic of much deeper compatability issues. You loved the person once, it's up to both of you to find that spark again one way or the other. Marriage is not disposable.

Even if you had a 2 incher?

lol, you should catch his act in real time, "American Bad Ass" fits him perfectly for a title 🙂
 
Interesting and thoughtful question. It really depends on why the other person has no interest in sexual activity. If there's an imbalance, where one partner wants it and the other does not, some accomodation must be reached, or the marriage is destined to be either horribly unhappy (which children would notice), or it must break apart. A third alternative is the partner who does not want sexual activity recognizes the need for the other to have it, and seeks/allows the partner to fulfill that in other ways.

If I were in the situation, I cannot say what I would do until I'm actually faced with it.
