Reply #14: The guy in the sexless marriage

[pokerfan]

just toughed it out as long as he could. He says he never cheated but I don't know.

The other guy, the doctor mountain climber, they just wound up taking separate vacations and drifted apart.

Of course it's unrealistic to expect complete and total compatibility. For one thing, people change so there must be some give and take. But to lie and misrepresent yourself through the entire courtship seems a little whacked.

These were just two stories from a couple of male friends. I'm sure that there are similar stories from the other side of the aisle. Maybe a guy that misrepresented his wealth or the case of my neighbors: she didn't find out until after they were married that he was a total alcoholic, he was that good at hiding it. She toughed it out for a long time but he didn't want to get help and when things began to get violent she split.
