Cadesmom While I was typing my response 3 other posts popped up including yours I was just as blind as you as sex was never discussed openly the way it is now.
I had so many stupid ideas about what was important in a M. I thought being a good housewife keeping the house clean and tidy was the most important aspect of being a good wife. Sex was never entered into the equation.
I enjoyed sex but placed less importance on that than the house being tidy and the dinner made etc.
Now I know from a mans POV great sex means who gives a s*** if the house is untidy but from my POV at the time I honestly thought being a good wife was doing all the housework stuff.
Knowing what I know now I wish I could relive my life and things would be soooo different.
In so saying great sex doesn't always mean great relationship. Lots of guys still cheat when they have great sex at home so not the only factor in affairs.
Cadesmom don't worry about offending anyone we're all pretty thick skinned around here.
