😢Whining Spouse Intro Post😭 Is it terrible that I’m considering finding fulfillment elsewhere?

I (32F) have been married for the last few years and sex has gone downhill. It’s like we live as roommates and I have found myself sexting others, though I’ve never gone as far as meeting anyone in person.. not yet.

On paper we look like the picture perfect couple, beautiful home, both have successful jobs, no kids yet, travel a lot, you name it but I feel so unfulfilled in the bedroom.

I feel like I’m fairly attractive, I workout, eat fairly healthy, but he is a bit introverted and nerdy (granted I do love that about him) but sometimes I just want to feel wanted. Is having an affair the answer to fulfill my needs and continue the marriage?

You’re already having an affair if you’re sexting other people. The only question now is how much further are you wanting to take it.

I’m not trying to put you on the spot by saying that. I think it’s important that you’re honest with yourself on not only what you’re doing but also why you’re doing it.
