ORIGINAL: theDominantGent To her love is freedom, to me love is codependence. We are still trying everyday, but we are running out of energy and patience. We are worried we (or is it me?) are not trying sincerely enough. We are scared to have to start all over again. We are scared that we might never find that person who really makes us happy. We are scared that we are making a huge mistake, throwing away a lifetime of friendship and companionship. I am scared that maybe people like me are not meant to be happily married. Every few weeks we sit and stare at each other cry, feeling helpless and lost. What would you do if you were in our place? Lets analyse the problem. I think what's going on here, is you love her as a best friend. But sexually, both of you are not happy with each other. I don't know, for me, as a woman, I WOULD hate to be with a man who is giving up so much sexually for me. And the only reason why you do not wish to dissolve this marriage is because, you are afraid you will never find another woman to live happily ever after that could share your kinks. Not because you deeply love her. Although you definitely do care alot for her. I don't think you are staying in this marriage for the right reason. She is not enough for you. Face the facts. I think it's only fair to let her go and give her a chance to find a man who fits her better. And for you to give yourself that same chance too. I do think you need to talk to your counsellor about your co-dependence issues too. That brings fear into your life, making you unable to do what is right. Because, another thing I see is that, your wife is not happy with you as well. She's bringing up that she's not happy with this all. There is no solution. You tried your best, you went counseling, you exhausted all option, and you are still not happy, neither is she. And as you said, you made a mistake by marrying before checking sexual compatibility. All I can say is if you both know in your heart that you love each other deeply and cannot imagine being with anybody else in this world, this is a good reason to stay together. Usually, sexual incompatibility can be worked out through open marriages. I mean, while LP says she'll give up kink, but she is dominant married to a dominant who is still able to indulge in her kink with a third party with her husband's blessings. Now, that is harmony and their relationship works great. But you don't have that. You need the same thing with your wife, or, please find the courage, both of you, to go pursue what you want and need.
