My boyfriend hasn’t had sex with me for 7 YEARS – he says there’s nothing wrong so now I’m getting my kicks elsewhere

A WOMAN whose boyfriend hasn't had sex with her for seven years has defended her decision to have an affair. She explained that she's tried to talk to her man on multiple occasions about his "low sex drive", but he "refuses to do anything" about it. And the situation is even more frustrating because she's otherwise "very happy" and feels "fulfilled" in every aspect of their relationship.

But after having the same conversation with her man for seven years - as well as offering to go to therapy or to the doctor with him - she "finally snapped" and cheated. "I know cheating was wrong," she wrote in the post on Reddit. "But isn’t withholding sex from your partner for seven years also wrong?".

She explained that the "constant rejection" she experienced from him was "chipping away at my self-esteem and self-confidence", and she was "spiralling into a very dark headspace". She began "drinking too much" and was even put on anti-depressants by the GP.
"Leaving just isn’t an option for me right now for several reasons, and I don’t even know if that’s what I want because I do adore him despite the lack of intimacy," she continued. The poster also stressed that she had done "absolutely everything" in her power to fix the lack of sex in the relationship before making the decision to cheat.
"I’m not heartless, and I do feel immense guilt for what I’ve done," she added. But she concluded: "If he doesn’t care about my needs or my feelings, why should I show him the same consideration?". However, the majority of people in the comments section insisted the woman was in the wrong for continuing the relationship despite knowing she was going to cheat.
