In that case, the desire-less partner has a moral obligation to accept an open marriage or suggest divorce, because they don't have the right to expect "celibate faithfulness". That's just reality -- you have a moral obligation to embrace a choice. Otherwise what you're saying is the desire-less partner has a "right" to just duck their head in the sand and pretend they're in make-believe land.
