Would it be wrong?

I love my wife very much. I don't want to end our marriage, but we never have sex. We have gone months at a time. I do everything I can for her. I am a very thoughtful caring person to her. She is never in the mood. Would I be wrong to have sex outside the marriage. I love her very much, and I know that she loves me. I've talked to her over and over but nothing changes.

Update:

I know I sound selfish,but the truth is that I am not. I do everything for her, and until lately have been very understanding. I don't pressure her or get pissed off at her. I have always been an adult and talked to her. She says things will change but never do.

    Take her for a full physical exam to rule out any biological issues, first---because zero libido is NOT normal!

    If that doesn't find anything, she needs to see a shrink, she could be suffering from depression (loss of sexual appetite is a very common symptom).

    If you love her, work together to fix this issue--don't wreck both your lives by sleeping around!!

    First of all....why did you marry your wife? Was it only for the sex? I would think not. It would definantely be a stupid reason for someone to marry another. I think this subject is the biggest thing that men do not understand about woman. You need to find out why she is not in the mood. Did you have a baby recently? Have you faught more often than normal? Has she gained any weight, or has something happened to her appearence that she is not comfortable with?? Find out what is wrong. Just because woman do not have sex, even for months at a time, does not mean we are doing it to piss off the other party. You must be understanding in this time. I had a daughter a year ago, and I still have not gotten my sex drive back. If you think that cheating is the answer, then you need to leave her before you do so. If you really loved your wife and honestly cared about her, then this would not even be a question in your mind. The great thing about the human body is that when you have the desire to have sex, you can actually take care of it yourself. Masturbation is the key here. Do nice things for your wife. Make her feel special...

    Source(s): Just some advice to all the moron men out there....women are about as complicated as a man...don't put all the fault on the woman here..gimme a break! We are just a different kind of 'creature', but that doesn't make us more complicated...that insults women.

    Try making Porn Movies on the side. This way you can have all the sex you want and make more money to. Maybe you should have a talk with her and mention that you need sex and that if it keeps going on too long without it you"ll have to make these porn movies just to get some.

    This is not a healthy situation for either one of you. If you wish to stay married, i would not suggest going outside the marriage for sex. She needs to take responsibility for her lack of interest in sex and do something about it. She may be avoiding intimacy because of emotional issues, or medical (untreated depression, for example). Sex is more than just pleasure and release. It is an opportunity to connect, and grow closer and trust, etc. Sex is necessary for a couple to remain healthy and happy. Please check out this book and consider getting it for her. http://www.amazon.com/Proper-Care-Feeding-Husbands... It's not actually about sex (there is one chapter in there - about it), but it's about marriage in general. Personally, it really changed my perspective. Good luck.

    Source(s): 10 years marriage. The first 3 yrs very unhappily, until i figured out I was mainly the culprit! Oh, well - young and immature... Now, more in love then ever. I'm a really lucky girl.

    Maybe try counseling. I know if you cheat on her you can kiss any chance of having a good marriage goodbye. Ask her if there is something you can do that would make her want to? Maybe she has something physically going wrong that is keeping her from wanting to.

    tell her you are feeling very loanly, an you find her very attractive and you would love to make love to her, she may be lacking self esteem so you have to really play up how georgous she is then she may feel beautiful. do not have sex out of marriage she would be devistated. you have to work through this first, keep trying if you love her then you will wait.

    Sounds like you need to move on. She either has a medical condition, or a boy/girl friend,,,the 2nd G-friend is the most likely case. Ask her to talk about it, forgive her,divorce her and move on.

    you should NOT cheat on your wife but try to get to bottom of the reason she is not interested. i know when i was on the depo birth control i felt the same way but after getting off i love it again so there has to be some reason.

    The question is...WHY doesn't she want to have sex? Maybe you don't please her anymore! Maybe she's becoming depressed? How long have you been married? Maybe she's lost herself in the marriage, or maybe she doesn't get any real attention or positivity from you? Women are complicated creatures.

    Tell her that you two need to see a councellor or else you'll get it somewhere else!

    Your wife should see a doctor. There's a chemical or hormonal imbalance. With the right kind of therapy change would be immediate.
