No. I would not leave. I think my husband and I have an unconditional love.
Were he to be in a position where no physical contact was possible I would try to find other ways of expressing the feelings of love between us. I'm sure he would do the same. Undeniably, it would be very difficult.In fact, it would be heartbreaking and an absolute nightmare, but as another person answered, "For better or for worse..." I know when he was in Iraq it was difficult not having him here for physical reasons (and other reasons too).
Those physical needs were not only sexual, but just having him near me is comforting on many different levels. Were we to be unable to have physical contact I could still be near him, talk to him and as I said, find other means of expressing the feelings we share.
If the prohibition is only for intercourse, I would lean toward staying. After all, you don't need full blown sex to achieve mutual pleasure. But if I can't even touch or kiss, then yes, I would consider leaving, although that doesn't mean I would certainly leave him.
Physical intimacy is very closely related to the success of your relationship. Humans crave physical closeness. I crave physical closeness.To be with the one I love and unable even to touch him or kiss him would be hell both for me and for him.
It would build to resentment and anger, and I'm not sure we can come out of it unscathed. Of course, I would talk to him first to find out a way to deal with this problem and to see if he feels the same way. If it's the same for both of us, then it's better we separated and still be friends and stay together and end up hurting and hating each other.
No, there are so many other things one can do besides sexual intercourse. One can spend time together that is to say that your relationship is strong enough to endure such a odd and sexually frustrating disease. When one cant express him or herself sexually one begins to think of other ways to be just as intimate with their partner without the use of sex or any other sexual implication, that is to say that intimacy can be found without it being sexually.
Let me explain, If two mature individuals have this problem and truly are in love then this should be bearable, im not saying easy cause god knows no sex with your partner is bound to get frustration. Im saying things will take the place of sex. Reading the same book, sharing experiences and time spent together will lessen the sting of this "no sex" disease.In my opinion I think everyone would consider leaving their partner but the ones that do, simply weren't able to overcome the challenge.
In the end thats all it is, some will overcome it and others wont. Its that easy.
No matter how good your marriage, chronic illness can cause strains between you and your spouse. But there are practical steps both spouses can take to help ensure that illness doesn’t become a wedge between them. The person with arthritis needs to inform her spouse, to get him accurate information about her illness and to find support groups that he can join or that they can join together, says Kathy Robinson, PhD, an associate professor of nursing at the University of North Florida, Jacksonville.
And the well spouse owes it to himself and to the marriage to empathize. Be sympathetic, not overly helpful. “If spouses are over-solicitous, the ill spouse can feel demeaned or powerless,” says Robinson, who works with families dealing with chronic illness.
“She may be trying to recover from knee surgery, and her husband may simply be worried that she’s going to fall. Their goals clash.”.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
