My wife refuses to have sex. Am I an ass for considering divorce?

[Story ID: 163]

We’ve been married 8 years. The first few years were great, however the sex slowly tapered off & has been virtually non-existent for the past three years.

She says that she finds sex to be gross & therefore has no interest in it. She says that if I were truly a loving husband it wouldn’t matter – that I’d deal with it & everything would be fine.

I approached her about sex this evening, she said no & I lost it. What she doesn’t understand is that physical intimacy is very important to me. I’ve tried to talk to her about it one on one, have suggested counseling, you name it. The lack of sex is causing serious issues for me, in how I view her & our relationship. It has caused me to back away from her & as a result we don’t have the close relationship we once did.

I’m seriously considering divorce over this. Am I being an irrational ass about this, or is this a legitimate reason to end a marriage? We have no children, FWIW.

EDIT – This isn’t funny Reddit
