They are mostly SSM. You know, when you refer to a SEX STARVED MARRIAGE, it generally truns off a woman when they are already LD, it is like an attack on them, they become defensive. But a SSM is really not about sex, at least not completely. Maybe we could find a better term for it rather then SSM. Maybe call it Unmet Needs Marriage or Deficient Needs Marriage or something like that. When we refer to SSM, m wife immediately throws up the "IT's ALL about SEX to you" crap.
