Married, but not well. I'd consider an affair but don't need the complication!

in : Sex
I'm married. If the circumstances were right I'd JUMP at having an affair. We have sex maybe four times a *year* and even then I wish we hadn't. I have this exploding lust that's like wild poison for me. But zero intimacy - emotional OR physical - with my wife to express it with. I'd leave if it wasn't for our kid (I'm primary care-giver). I'm going crazy!

Unfortunately my wife doesn't 'talk'. We can never get to the first step without her immediately bringing in all her Suffering and her Burden (which, I think, is really a strategy to avoid honest discussion). If I have a complaint she'll top it somehow, even if she has to reach into her past. This happened in counseling too - a waste of time and money.

BTW she's been told by her friends to not ignore me sexually. But then she treats that like Yet Another Burden. I realize that there's a supply/demand dynamic between men

[mmm - cut off]... between men and women, but sex is something I want to do *together* not something she provides to me as Yet Another Burden. The sex itself is rarely worth it anyway, and then I pay in hearing about her Suffering later.
Grrrr - getting cranky as I think about this!

Sounds like a shitty marriage, luckily there's something called a divorce.
