Long time lurker here. HappyGiant.. Your herculean attempts to get laid made me respond. I have a bit of an observation.

I did all the things you did for my cold cold luscious Hot looking wife.

All the rebuffs, polite declines, prebed manufactured fights, the wife running upstairs and the immediately falling asleep( my favorite), etc Beat me up year after year and then.. clarity

I surprised her with a romantic 3 day Valentines cruise to which she responded..(very sincerely and honestly) Thats Great!! Can my mom come too? She would love it!

I never went crazy doing all the pathetic things again. She does not want sex and its wrong to force her through fake romance. Its not right for you either but I am sure she is good with kids, works or something. Count your blessings and get away from her later in life.

Let her try the no-sex lifestyle out on a boyfriend.. when she's in her 50's.

My wife and I have no sex, which she is happy about and when the kids are gone to college she will have no husband. Six years left and counting.
