"I want to maintain the family unit because it makes other things possible, like doing things together with the children. But one day, when they are older and I can think about my own needs again, I may leave and start all over again.
I gotta give her a slight nod for that, at least she is thinking of her children.
She is a certain type of person, whom I have met before. These people are so unhappy in a situation, that they have to insist that ALL people in a similar situation are unhappy. That those of use who are NOT, are simply lying. Because for her, the thought that there ARE happy people makes her feel even worse. Denial ensues.
A couple of points. One, my wife and I are about the same age as her. While life has put us in a situation that has us both quite tired these days (kids, chronic illness, sickness), we can still shake the house, just not as often. Its quality over quantity for us.
Another thing, maybe this is a British thing? I mean, have you seen the men over there? (Just kidding, my Brit friends!)..
And he may have very good reason(s) to be disliked - hard to tell - I agree.
I may be going 'way out on a limb, here ..
But I suspect that she seriously, deep down inside dislikes herself.
23 "Partners"???? Of which "only" 10 were "proper boyfriends"????
Houston, we have a problem.
>> Maybe if she understood that it’s as much about the love and trust two people have, as it is working your way through the Kama Sutra...
Love and trust are fine — but I certainly wouldn’t knock working your way through the Kama Sutra.

Erm,
No, you’re extremely on target. Also, if there are issues in the marriage...verbal abuse, resentment, financial problems, lack of trust, fear etc....the bed is the first place to feel it.
What a b!tch ping.
It’s good you got out of there then.

She looks like an older Monica Lewinsky, and I notice she’s not wearing a ring.
In fact, afterwords, one or the other of us will usually comment, “isn’t this supposed to be boring by now?”
Still fun. Maybe a little less spontaneous, but still fun.
“Sorry, but marriage and sex DON’T go together (British wife’s book)”
Note to self, never marry a Brit.
In the article, the woman repeatedly mentions that her husband is a good guy, is understanding, that the problem isn't his fault, etc. I think we're simply dealing with a lazy, selfish person.
Actually, I have ... I'm happily married ... I restricted my 'extracurricular activities' to consuming mass quantities of beer.
But if I'd been of a mind to do so ... Brit chicks are seriously attractive ...
I’m not a shrink, though I do pass by 3 Holiday Inns on the way to work.......but yeah.
Not so much the number of boyfriends, but the lack of orgasm is very telling to me. Ah...’nuf said on that topic.
“disliked” was the wrong word for me to use. He may be a decent guy, worth the time of day, but not a roll in the hay.
I think she might have ruined her sex life entirely from treating sex too cavalierly. It’s like the Olympics giving out gold medals for anything and to anyone. What is a gold medal worth anymore? Where is the pleasure in receiving it if there is no standard by which it is won?
Britian is a country of Godless people, this article reflects thier purely humanistic nature. How disgusting, to be honest, I hold the British on par with the French. Convert your churches to Mosks and see where it leads you.
The men over there looked more or less like "white" guys anywhere.
Her attitude sucks, I have been married 18 years and have children ranging from 12 to 5, she is not a wise woman and is destroying her marriage with her own selfishness.
Her children will feel betrayed if/when she leaves their father to find fulfillment. The stable monogamous foundation she thinks is so important for them will be revealed as a lie, and their mother as a thrill-seeker.
Of course, her husband may leave first, if he isn’t getting any at home, and he finds a woman who appreciates him better.
