I’m way too frustrated

r/

My wife and I have been married 8 years. About 4 years ago our sex life all but stopped. We didn’t have it that much before but it was definitely more than now. As of now it’s been over a year and maybe once every several months before that.
I’m frustrated and I’ve tried to talk and address it. There’s always excuses. She refuses counseling cause “nothing is wrong with her.”
I love my wife but it’s driving me crazy. I’m filled with lust. I haven’t cheated but I’m scared I would. It’s not like I have opportunities. I’m just here to get it off my chest. But it’s getting worse and idk what to do.

    That sounds incredibly tough, man. Feeling unwanted in your own marriage can mess with your head and heart. You’re not wrong for wanting intimacy — it’s a basic human need, not just a “want.” Respect for not stepping out, but you deserve to feel connected too. Hope you find a path forward that gives you peace.

    Have you tried communicating this to your partner about your sex drive? I hope you might have talked to your partner if they are not able to accommodate it to these needs, adultery should never be seen as an option. If you are willing to compromise with your morals and your character, adultery could get you what you want, as much as you want with no strings attached. Being a real man means you hold your ground, no matter the situation 🙂
