So.... no input from others to my post yet which is a little disheartening. It would be nie to get some ideas and thoughts from others in similar situations. Anyway. I had a bit of backslide today and we ended up talking a bit about our relationship, nothing heated which is good but I left the conversation knowing full well that she is not invested in this at all and still seeks an avenue to leave. The only reason she is staying is financial comfort which is pretty terrible I think. I have really been struggling with the lack of intimacy and sex (we have not had any for almost 6 months) and this drove me to ask her if we could at least be "friends with benefits". Of course her answer was, I dont want it or need it so a big fat NO. Stupid of me I know but I have needs and desires that have gone unfulfilled for a long time but in the end if I have to choose between sex and my kids then it is a no brainer. Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts or support would be great
