    I cannot understand how people can get married without both enjoying their sexual life - and if possible together. Am I the only one to find obvious that sexual fulfillment is a key condition for a couple to last?

      Maybe he was mad because she was charging him much more at home?

            I think sexual fulfillment is the consequence of a happy relationship, not the cause of it. Defining 'sexual fulfillment' as some kind of essential goal in life is kind of like defining a good bowell movement in the same way. It isn't something you actually can fulfill except in the most temporary of ways.

              Well, he is French. They are kind of obsessed with sex, relationships, infidelity and so on.

                        Being that old and that naive... ;-P IMO of there's no sexual fulfillment, then there's no happy relationship, just some happy 'let live our problems together - I fit yours as you fit mine'. It's not happiness to me.

                        Not a goal, but a condition. And don't forget the 'shared'. Both should enjoy their sexual life, it's a condition sine qua none for a happy couple. A couple claiming being happy without sex is IMO neurotic.

                              Just don't talk to them about it. They won't stop complaining that the Germans stole their bicycles in 1945. Sheesh!

                                I see obstacles on the horizon for a happy relationship, if the thought of having sex makes you want wash the dishes instead. If it's right, it's right. If it isn't, the relationship is bound to fade away rather quickly.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

                                      I cannot understand how people can get married without both enjoying their sexual life - and if possible together. Am I the only one to find obvious that sexual fulfillment is a key condition for a couple to last?

                                      There plenty of couples who are hot in the bedroom and hate each other in every other room. It's really communication--you have to talk about what is bothering you, communicate what you like and admire in the othe person, and yes, communicate wants in the bedroom. If you can talk to each other like adults and not be a 'have to be right all the time' person then I think that is the key.

                                        In my experience (which, admittedly, is not as long as others here) this is THE key. There's the idea that the most stable relationships are defined by how the partners argue, since disagreement and arguments are inevitable, you HAVE to be able to get through them without coming out bigger enemies on the other side. Pretty much the only way to do that is to put your ego aside and realize you don't have to be right, that the relationship is more valuable than winning some stupid argument over who said what or who put what in the kitchen sink. It's a very natural tendency, the need to be right. We all suffer from it. I think the strongest and wisest individuals are the ones who can put that aside and see past it.

                                          You get less ass than Tim Craig.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

                                          I suspect that the only ass you've ever gotten had 4 legs, long ears and a tail. And she kept braying, "Too small!"
