AH complains about lack of intimacy...

I almost had to keep from laughing.

Who the heck wants to be intimate with a drunk?

He didn't like the counselor because she only wanted to address his drinking and not our intimacy issues.




It is amazing to see such an intelligent guy unable to connect the dots.

Anyone else have similar discussions?

Thank you for taking the time to share your story.

I still just shake my head in disbelief at the whole thing. He couldn't believe I didn't even want to be touched when he was wasted this weekend. Um, helloooOoOoO?

Good letter.

Yes, I think my soon to be xah still thinks that if I had sex whenever he wanted our marriage would be saved, perfect, that is all it needs, the divorce is all my fault.

I can't stand him and when I feel the agony of this year may consume me or that I won't survive the stress the next two months may bring I just remember to thank the heavens that I never have to share a house or bed with him again. I don't have to put up with 2 seconds of his harassing, whining, following, or complaining about his 'needs' ever again. I can erase those things from my personal map - forever.

if it makes you feel any better, whenever my husband's lack of responsibility, drinking, smoking, or any negative trait comes up, he will retort with
"I need a wife who will PUT OUT"

what are we, 15?? It's gone much further than that too, he's made fun of me sexually, my body, and all sorts of intimate things (and I have to say I am not unattractive and think I have a darn good body!) but he wants me to feel bad about myself. My response is, "Is that supposed to turn me on?"
Sorry but I don't want to sleep with a man who smells of booze, breath like an ashtray, gut from the beer, lasts 20 seconds with a halfie who picks on ME for my bedside manner.

Of course they have needs, so do we, but they aren't doing anything about ours, are they?

Yup...despite all the other issues currently in our marriage - even the alcohol aside- he always comes back to 'you never want to have sex'. Ummm...you think?

We're back in that place again. Even though he got sober and things got better between us and he felt better and everything... he can't see that his drinking again is causing it to all fall apart again. He can't possibly remember all of the mean things he says and does and still expect me to be ready and willing when just because he's taken his cialis. Maybe he doesn't remember. Maybe he doesn't care. I don't know. I don't even care. I'm perfectly capable of being his willing little nympho. I just want him to be nice.

I don't know how many times I've said, "all you have to do is be nice."

He's hasn't been able to be civil for more than 48 hours, let alone nice, in a month. And now he's mad because he hasn't been getting any. I think he just want another excuse to drink... I suppose it's just a viscious cycle of an alcoholic life.

My husband's body odor and breath are so bad from daily drinking all day long, there's no way I'd consider having sex with him. When he asks me why we're not sleeping together I tell him his mistress is alcohol. When he gets rid of her, he can have me back.

Talking from my end doesn't do any good but he sure has the guts to tell me that I don't love him any more. He also blames his drinking on me because he's so alone now.

He sweats out the alcohol all night and our highly expensive mattress, sheets, and pillows are all ruined. He can sleep on that $100 pillow with leftover alcohol spit until hell freezes over.

We'll leave the rest of my disgust and anger for another forum.

After my AH had been sober about a year, I bought all new bedding. Now that he's drinking again, I'm not even sleeping in the bed most of the time. Sigh.

My wife would come to bed dressed like Fred Sanford and needing a bath. Call me picky, but I don't find it attractive.

I used to be afraid to say anything. I don't tolerate it anymore.

I DESERVE BETTER!

That's the one that just kills me. Connect the dots, dude.

Ah I feel better because I am not the only one who has heard this line. Another one I get from my AW is "you are so distant and withdrawn and have no desire for sex" Well guess what like others in here I don't want it with someone who is stinking drunk and will pee the bed shortly. No Thanks.
