I read the story of a woman whose husband pays other women for intimacy, and I decided to share my own. I want to say my truth.

I have been married for nine years, and we have three beautiful children. My wife is a very beautiful and hardworking woman. When we met, she was a virgin, but she was eager to learn how to be adventurous with me in the bedroom. After our first child, she changed completely. She went from being my baddie to Mary the Virgin.

 

Once she asked me a question that shattered me. “What at all do you get from sex that you crave it so badly?” Six years later, those words still hurt. That question, and the emptiness that followed, led me to cheat. She found out eventually, which caused unnecessary fights and broken hearts. I am not a good liar, so she always knows when I am not being truthful.

The truth is, I just want her to meet me halfway. She can go a whole month without intimacy if I do not ask. And when I do, she is either too tired or not in the mood. The only time she seemed to enjoy being close was during her ovulation, but recently, even that has faded. This is not the woman I married.

Is There A Man Out There Who Doesn’t Cheat?

I know many men regret cheating, but sometimes it is hard not to feel alone. Wives, please understand, intimacy does not stop because you have given birth. If you need help with house chores so you can have energy for your husband, please say so. Matters of the bedroom are a big deal in marriage, but too often they are trivialized. This does more harm than good.

It feels disrespectful to stay with a woman just for sex. But I also wish my wife, Grace, would see how much this means to me, how much she means to me, and meet me where I am.

 

I have spoken my truth
