Re: She invited him to LinkedIn, would you respond?

If you just ignore the connection request, you typically get a repeat request. He should decline the request.

I think your last paragraph - you confronting her and telling her to cease and desist...

Re: My wife's breasts.... and me

Being enamoured of your wife's breasts is fine.

However, you are pushing her personal boundaries right now by continuing to pursue the kind of touches that *you* desire and are not touching her...

Re: Musings from a LD perspective

Awesome post! :smthumbup:

Re: I feel like a failure in bed

Yes, lube is your friend. :)

Coconut oil is great if you don't use condoms ... you just need to be careful of the ingredients in some lubes (like avoid those with glycerin or parabens in them)...

Re: Bras

I wonder whether it was really the bras, or the 'can't be bothered by you' attitude that caused him to take notice? :)

Re: lack of affection

Hi Spring ~

I totally agree with SunnyT!

Actively make a plan - go see an attorney and discuss what your options are.

It won't be of any benefit to your kids to have their mother coerced...

Re: What is a normal libido for a 38 yr old married man?

I don't know what would be considered 'normal' - there seems to be wide variability between men.

There's also a difference between the 'desire to do' and 'actually doing'. :)

Re: Porn before having sex with wife

I think I would be extremely unhappy and hurt with this situation if I were the wife, and it wouldn't be conducive to creating more intimacy/sex in the relationship. :(

Re: Does kissing matter in a marriage or during sex?

Did you ever like kissing?

There are lots of different ways to kiss, and it doesn't have to be French style where you swap saliva. :)

Re: No sex drive in 39 year old husband

I would work to start trying to eliminate possibilities - and the first would be physical. He should go to the doctor for a check-up and discuss this and his medication. If there's a physical issue...

Re: Do you condone cheating if a spouse willingly refuses sex?

Nope.

Like the old saying goes - "two wrongs (no sex from one + cheating from the other) don't make a right."

If you can't resolve (the issue), then dissolve (the union).

Re: The Pill and your Libido...?

I don't think it's worth wasting time to be envious either way. I used to waste way too much time on this issue.
