Make you feel very lonely.

Make you feel listless and confused.

You need to find out the reasons why your marriage has become sexless when once it was loving, romantic and sexually satisfying. Marriage without sex is bad but married sex without emotions is equally as bad.

Your sexless marriage could be caused by a physical problem or psychological problem in which case medical help should be sought.

These are a number of other reasons for why a marriage has become sexless.

(1) Your partner works long hours while you are stuck' at home

When one partner is working very long hours and the other stays at home feeling ignored and lonely then it is very common for the person who stays home to take out their frustrations on their partner by avoiding sex as a type of silent protest. This can become an entrenched attitude, which is hard to break when it has been happening for some time.

(2) Both of you work long hours.

If both you and your partner have very demanding and time-consuming jobs you will seldom get the opportunity to spend time with each other and behave like the proverbial ships that pass in the night'. The problem then is not one of frustration and loneliness for one of you but simply lack of time together which can make you drift apart emotionally and sexually.

You need to decide what is more important, your marriage or your work and try to find some way of re-scheduling your lives so that you do not drift apart just by not seeing each other enough.

(3)Other reasons for your sexless marriage.

You need to think of some other possible reasons for why you no longer feel sexually attracted to your partner such as:

You no longer find them attractive.

They don't show you any emotions.

They lie to you and deceive you.

They are lazy and selfish.

They are abusive and disrespectful toward you.

They ignore you when you try to discuss problems.

There are lots of other reasons for a sexless marriage but all of the above can cause you to avoid sex with your partner and thus create strain on your marriage.

Marriage counseling may eventually be needed to help you find out what the problem is and help you to restore the intimacy you once had.

If you do not address the problems in your sexless marriage then the problems could lead you into the arms of someone else a divorce lawyer.
