Wife shares the humiliating secret that made her walk away from her sexless marriage – as the five signs your relationship is over are revealed
- A 36-year-old woman has revealed how a humiliating secret ended her marriage
- She had a sexless marriage for four years and was made to feel like a ‘sex pest’
- She found her husband had been paying to have his sexual needs met online
A woman has revealed the humiliating secret that ended her sexless marriage after years of physical rejection from her ‘dedicated’ husband.
By the age of 32, the sales executive from Sydney had spent four years trying to initiate sex with her husband, only to be rejected or find she had to bribe him to be intimate with her.
He refused to ejaculate inside her despite her open desire to have children, while basic affection like kissing, touching and flirting became non-existent.
‘He told me that the more I hassled him, the more he went off sex. I internalised this as being my fault,’ the woman wrote in an anonymous blog post for Body and Soul.

She realised she had hit a low point when she traded extra chores for sexual attention.
The woman said she took her problems to a psychologist who said her husband was probably asexual, and encouraged her come to terms with having a sexless marriage or leave.
But then came the humiliating realisation – her husband wasn’t asexual – he was just having his sexual needs met by strangers on the internet.
She found he had been spending between $200 and $900 on cam-girl sites each month.
The woman said she had spent years feeling like a ‘sex pest’ only to find he was betraying her as well as rejecting her.
The couple met when the woman was 26 and they had a healthy sex life for the first year.
But after they moved in together things started to slow down and by the time she was 28 and married their sex life was basically non existent.
Stagnant sex is a huge red flag when it comes to relationships, according to dating expert Dr Lurve, who says it can signal the need for a breakup.
But it isn’t the only red flag.

The sales executive who discovered her husband’s porn addiction missed key signs which warned of their impending relationship breakdown before they had even tied the knot.
These included feeling underappreciated, a lack of communication and her husband fantasising about someone else before the ultimate betrayal.
She left the relationship a few months after finding out about her husband had been seeing sex workers online, but four years on she is still single.
‘I’m still waiting to meet someone that I love and wants to have sex with me. I don’t know why it’s so hard,’ she said.
