Marriage is hard. The choice to join lives together with someone in the name of love is one riddled with the potential for disaster, in many ways.
One such risk is a marriage becoming sexless. This issue is so prominent that there are Reddit boards, like r/DeadBedrooms, a support group for people unhappy with their sex lives, dedicated to unpacking the turmoil that comes with being in a sexless marriage. Something they talk about a lot in r/DeadBedrooms is how hard it can be to make the decision to leave a sexless marriage.
And we want to know more about that. More importantly, we want to hear from women who have done so. If you’re a woman who has left a sexless marriage, we want to hear your story. Why did you leave and what happened after?
Maybe there was one moment that pushed you to the breaking point, or it was a bunch of mini moments that built upon each other.
Perhaps your life has changed completely after leaving your sexless marriage. You might even be reopening yourself to love again, for the first time since you left.
Or, maybe you’re just taking this time to reflect, think about what you want a future relationship to look like, and create a plan to ensure you don’t reenter a sexless marriage again.
