Woman asks for advice after husband cheated on her over lack of sex
A mum has caused a wave of outrage online after asking for advice on her cheating husband.
The woman, who goes by the name ‘Ilovefruitpastilles’ took to Mumsnet to ask whether or not her and her husband’s lack of sex life was an ‘acceptable’ reason for him to stray away from home.
“It seems to have been down to a few things but he says the main reason was sexual rejection,” the woman started the post.
“Our sex life has got progressively worse over the past year and it had got to the point where I never wanted it and certainly never initiated anything.
“We were going through a very difficult period in our marriage and our relationship had deteriorated so much that I didn’t feel loving towards him at all and if he initiated it and we did sleep together it was pretty obvious that it was just a chore to me and I wasn’t really enjoying it.”
The woman then went on to say that her husband had been ‘enduring this’ for a year and it had made him feel ‘really depressed’.
“He thought I didn’t fancy him or love him and was rejecting him,” she continued.
“It made him feel absolutely terrible about himself so that when he then met someone who paid him a lot of attention (plus other stressful things in his life were going on to do with family) he started a friendship which then led to an affair.”
She goes on to say that she was always of the mind that if someone cheated in a relationship then it was the end but now that she’s actually in the situation she doesn’t know what to do.
People were quick to let the woman know how wrong her husband was and to tell her to stop blaming herself for his betrayal.
“There is never a reason to cheat... Ever,” one person said.
“If he was unhappy, he could have left and found someone else. Or he could have discussed the issues with his wife and worked with her to make her feel better about herself, the situation and anything else. “
“No, he did not have to stay in a sexless marriage; but if he felt the marriage was intolerable, he should have been honest & discussed it with you. Instead of giving you the chance to seek a solution, or even just separate to think things over, he has chosen to commit adultery,” another person said.
“If he wanted to have sex with someone else he should have ended it with you first,” another commenter said.
