A Wife Finds Loving Intimacy Outside of Her Marriage

A typical marriage is one where a husband and wife are happily married to each other, love each other, and have sex with each other and only one another. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

What happens when after a few years, the husband is no longer interested in sex? He still loves his wife and is not interested in other women, but does not want to have intimate relations with his wife. He may have health problems or be overweight therefore making it difficult for the sex act to be fulfilling. So years go on and there is no intimacy between the couple. He works and she is on disability and can not work outside the home but takes care of the house and fixes dinner for him. They live day to day as roommates. They share common interests such as favorite television shows, online gaming and baseball. They are really great friends. The only sexual thing they do is a peck of a kiss on the lips when they say goodnight.

This couple does not sleep together in the same room or even the same bed anymore. It is not because they don't love each other but because of other problems. The wife has sleep apnea and has to use a CPAP machine in order to sleep safely and likes it very cool in the room. The husband snores and tosses and turns all over the bed and likes it warm in the room. They found out years ago that sleeping separately helps them both sleep much better and get much needed rest.

The wife misses the intimacy of love making in her marriage very much. The closeness, the touching and loving is all missing. She is very unhappy. The husband is content in the marriage and has no intention of ending the marriage.

A couple of years before, the ex-fiancé of the wife talked to her online. They had been in touch off and on since the engagement broke off over 30 years ago. The reason she didn't marry him was because she thought she wasn't ready to get married back then. He ended up marrying someone else as did she. Every time they would get in touch with one another, the other was married or involved with someone else. The timing was never right. They believed that they still loved each other and always had.

This last time, since the wife was totally unhappy in her marriage and the ex-fiancé was in the same predicament as she was, they met in person. So for the past year and a half, the two had been having sexual relations with each other. They wanted to be together but she couldn't tell her husband to move out because without his financial support, she could not afford to live on her own. The ex-fiancé wanted to leave his wife, but he had young children and didn't want to leave them and not be able to see them but once every two weeks. They each understood each others perils.

The wife and the ex-fiancé meet up with each about every month or so for about two or three hours and enjoy being with each other. They talk online through a messenger every day except for the weekends. How long will this go on? Who knows.... But this is a different kind of marriage.
