A woman has sought advice on the internet after the spark between her and her husband had died out.
As the lady in question revealed in her Mumsnet post, she’s been married to an “attractive man” for 17 years. The pair, however, has never been very compatible in bed and there’s “no spark” left between them after all the years they’d spent together.
The woman also claimed that she and her husband grew further apart throughout the years after welcoming their own children into their family.
“Both in our early 40s, been married for 17 years. Dear husband is very attractive but even when we first got together there just wasn’t the compatibility in the bedroom,” she admitted.
“To me, he always just came across as quite wooden and we never clicked. However, we used to really connect in other ways so I sort of overlooked it.”
She continued: “I had lived with other partners before dear husband so in a way I know it’s us rather than men and me in general. Fast forward to now and we have each changed and have less in common etc. and things are definitely fraying badly at the seams.”
The woman went on to claim that their s*x life has been practically non-existent since the birth of their baby four years ago.
She also admitted she is now thinking about leaving her husband even though he wants to stay together for the sake of their child.
“Obviously can’t unmake the last 17 years but also not sure how to move forward beside resigning myself to both of us unhappily muddling along till kids leave home,” the disappointed partner wrote.
After asking the internet for advice, the mother received plenty of mixed responses from fellow women.
“So you’re married to a good man, a good dad, handsome, but you don’t have much in common at the moment, and he’s not very good in bed,” someone wrote.
“I’m not sure how you feel. Are you starting to resent him because you aren’t drawn to him in the physical/ emotional sense so you don’t know how to bridge the gap between you? Or are you more worried or depressed?”
Another said: “Once distance becomes the norm you need an ice breaker. Or are you very turned off and don’t want touch? I don’t think the spark is crucial to feeling loved and cared for.”
A third suggested: “It sounds like perhaps you could benefit from trying to relate to each other more before throwing it away. The grass isn’t greener in most cases.”
