What I do care about are the children and I assume, naively so I admit, is that ADULTS will do what is necessary to ensure the happiness and health of those children. The adult's needs be damned.


Well said

The kids in these situations are the innocent bystanders and they suffer greatly. Been there done that from the kids point of view.

Holding a marrage together for the "sake of the kids" is a farce for the kids. From the time I was a small boy, my mom told me; "when you boys are out of the house, I'm leaving your Dad" Kids can see unhappiness in parents period. This is no way to grow up. Later in life Dad told me mom cut him off after I was conceived. No Nookie at ALL!!! 'till mom left him, just like she said she would, and he re-married. I STILL feel bad for him.

My wife read this thread and has gotten all uppity about it,...says that the wife has the right to cut her man down to whatever she feels is appropriate.

To demonstrate her newfound empowerment,...she's got me down to twice a day.

Adult is a word lost on many and it is far easier to cut and run these days. Everything has consequences but I still believe two ADULTS are better than one where children are concerned.


If the parties can live in peace for the kids...SH is right...its better. Not always possible...but when possible, its better. I watched what my kids went through knowing what thier dad had done to me. Truth DOES hurt, and it often hurts the innocent.

I'm not gonna read all the comments on this thread. However, if my wife said only twice a year, she'd be out on her stingy booty and I'd be looking for a replacement. Sex is an integral part of the marriage vow and contract, and to with hold or restrict it to that degree is a violation of the marriage contract between you, the wife and God.
I do believe that would be grounds for a divorce.

If all you men want is sex don't get married. A man will always get more sex single than he will ever married. Marriage isn't about sex. You Christians ought to know that.

Being cut down to twice a year means it's time to find someone else. I've been there before.

With my schedule, I definitely get more married smile . I just don't have the time or inclination to chase tail anymore. A guy actually has to go out where there are crowds to deal with that. Nope, much better off now.

Dude, you are going hunting with us in December, right? You know how many of us are going and our general AOs. I'm definitely having one of my pards check my house while I'm gone.

Stayin for the kids is a crock, no matter how well the parents can "hide" the underlying problems. Been there, done that. It still effects the kids.

As to the main issue...it sounds like she "left" 5 years ago...and is just keeping him around for convenience of other circumstances (could be financial, or whatever)

Living with that kind of guilt isn't easy. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, or my worst enemy...Having been on the other end of the spectrum, Id just as soon not been told about it. It cut, deeply.

Besides, if they get divorced, and he admitted that information, its just ammo for her to use against him...

No doubt kids are affected Nic, but perhaps over the long run, not having a daddy in the house at all affects them a lot more.

I can tell you, in the interem, and for us, its been 10 months...its effected them POSITIVELY. They're THRIVING! And thier Dad will be as much a part of thier life as HE Makes himself...its up to the PARENTS to be a part of thier kids lives, whether they're married, divorced, or whatever.

Kids know...and you don't realize the damage till the situation cracks. I've seen it first hand. Had I known how bad it effected them, I wouldn't have stuck around so long.
