Anyone here get divorced or start the process of a divorce SOLELY for the reason of intimacy issues? I have absolutely no desire for H. Our love life was bad from almost the beginning. No handholding, no touching or kissing except when it is time to do the "deed" and that I am sick of. We are both in MC but I see no way to get a feeling back for him that I really never had in the 1st place.

We ended up moving in together for all the wrong reasons and I think I got married to him because I was feeling like it was time and I wasn't getting any younger. Mostly every other quality of him I love. He is a sweet kind, gentle man and a good father (we have a 2 yr old).

I don't know if I can accept my own selfishness and destroy my DD's world and break my H's heart. Just wanted to hear if anyone here has ended their M because of only that reason. Thanks.

Hi there... Welcome to the board (although we're never truly happy to welcome anyone here... but it is a great place!).


I think that intimacy is a big deal... and lack of compatible intimacy can really lead to the destruction of the things in the relationship that are going well.
