One day, my wife stopped cooking. She no longer had any interest in it. I thought maybe we had been eating too many similar meals, so I bought her a big book full of recephies, complete with illustrated advice on how to make these delightful dishes. She had no interest in going out to eat, either. Nothing seemed to work, and she obviously expected me to eat my own cooking for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, I got tired of my own cooking very quickly. I tried different dishes that I could make, but it wasn't the same. I got full, yes, but the meal was unsatisfactory and emotionally unfulfilling. I missed the loving feeling I got from eating something special that my wife had made for us.

I felt lonely and unloved.

Then, I started to eat out by myself from time to time. Eventually, I bumped into someone who felt the same way. I secretly met up with her now and then, and we would make the most delicious meals.

I would then go home happy, and full, and never have to lie down with an empty stomach.

Thought I'd throw in my own lame analogy, to follow down the path set before me by others in this thread.

Some things take two people. Men are very sexual creatures. It's the wife's responsibility to initiate a conversation as much as it is his. In my opinion, it IS a spouse's responsibility to maintain a healthy sexual relationship in the marriage.

Women tend to feel that there are sufficient alternatives to sex, when it comes to feeling loved, wanted, appreciated and needed. Just cuddling and kissing and hugging seems to be enough for many women. Cuddles and huggles are the main point, and sex is an extension of all that.

For me, as a man, sex is the definitive form of emotional display. I give my mother hugs all the time, but I don't eat her pussy. Hugs and cuddles are nice, but without regular sex, I quickly begin to feel unwanted, unappreciated and unloved. No hug or cuddle can suffice. If I don't get to fuck my wife, I don't feel like I'm a man. It escalates from there, and very quickly.

As I see it, it's a husband's responsibility in a marriage to make sure his wife is sexually satisfied, and it is the wife's responsibility to ensure that her husband is sexually satisfied. Within reason.

Some posts make HER look like the victim here. Meanwhile, she seems happy and content in her life even though they're not getting it on. He quite clearly isn't.

I don't disapprove of the fact that he's banging someone else since his wife won't put out, but I do disapprove of him keeping her in the dark. She has the right to know, and go from there.
