Would you consider it infidelity if your husband/wife?
Find answers to your legal question.





Would you consider it infidelity if your husband/wife?

If you husband or wife declined to be "intimate" with you, would you consider it an act of infidelity?

No medical problems. No emotional problems. No relationship problems.

But, s/he simply doesn't find it to be important. Maybe once every two 6-8 weeks.

Over the years, it slowly declined.

Would you conside that infidelity (unfaithfulness) to your marriage vows?


    




.
YES, if it is VOLUNTARY -- not medical.

There are certain RESPONSIBILITIES in marriage. Adopting celibacy is not living up to the marriage vows.

What if the husband decided to work only occasionally?
Or, stay with his parents and only come home occasionally?

Would that be living up to the marriage vows?

The marriage vows imply that certain responsibilities WILL (not might) be met -- there will be a special "relationship."

---- unless they both agree to change those expectations.

So, YES, it is an act of UNFAITHFULNESS (or infidelity) to the marriage commitments for either to live elsewhere, refuse support, become abusive, or adopt CELIBACY in marriage -- unless both parties agree.

Personally, I wouldn't consider it to to be unfaithful. However, it is a serious problem. This is an issue that a husband and wife should be able to talk about openly. Be careful not to make it a personal attack but an instance where you are simply searching for answers and a solution. Maybe a compromise is in order.

No...........I wouldn't unless I found out they were getting it somewhere else.

I don't believe this fits the criteria for infidelity, however it does seem to be insensitive at best. Voice your concerns to your spouse and insist upon change. Best of luck!

No, if they were intimate with someone else, THAT would be unfaithful.

not unless they were cheating with someone else, maybe low libido...I would say see a doctor and try something new to kick it into overdrive!

there is some kind of issue here. maybe couple/individual counseling?

I don't know that I would consider it infidelity, but something is wrong. There may be a physical cause, or a psychological issue that isn't obvious. To me, when you say "no relationship problems," it raises a red flag. EVERYONE in a relationship has problems. If you don't, it's a problem because it means that you are unaware of what's going on between you. You might want to ask yourself whether you are doing things to keep the romance going. Do you do romantic things together? It is common for the spark to die down over time, but you mustn't let it go out. I would really recommend seeing a therapist as soon as possible.

if you sleep with someone other then your spose then you are cheating point blank. there are no "good reasons" to cheat...doesn't matter what is going on in the home you need to stay faithful to that home!

no, your vows do not say that you will be intimate daily...

It's only infedility if they actually cheat on you with someone else. I think you need to sit down and talk about the problem and maybe get some counseling. If nothing else hire a PI to find out if they are cheating.

No, that is not infidelity, tho it may be a sign that infidelity is going on...or there may be a physical or emotional problem. There IS a reason...even tho you say there is no physical or emotional problem...There IS a reason...so he should get checked by the doctor, talk to a counsellor, find the reason. Sorry to say...he could be involved with someone else...this is often the cause...and we women do not want to believe it.

Have you every read any of Kevin Leman's books? He says if you help your wife in the kitchen and around the house that would gaurantee more intimacy. Are you thoughtful of how her days go? Do you ever think to find out what she likes to do and choose to do what she wants instead of what you want all the time? Hey a little thoughtfulness and house job chore sharing goes a long way in a marriage!!!

actually it is now a known statistic that 80% of married couples are only intimate a few times a year. it is normal, but I have heard of a lot of women having issues with even feeling the urge to be intimate, maybe she should see a doctor to make sure she isn't having a problem like hormonal imballance.

that is definitely not infidelity, cheating is completely different than merely not being in the mood.


Joe M
In a way, as far as marriage vows go, I wouldn't use the word "infidelity" but certainly there is something wrong. But make sure you look within first. You say there is no "relationship" problems, or "emotional" problems ... are you sure? How is his/her self-confidence? Does s/he feel beautiful or appealing? Does s/he feel unattractive? This can often be the cause... lack of self-esteem. When you know, then ask, what can I do to help him/her feel more confident?

No, as I understand it this happens with most couples. Marriage counseling maybe in order if it bothers you.


pebbles
No, not if theres something bothering her. Try asking her about it. It probably doesnt even have anything to do with you. Maybe things need to be spiced up a bit. Do what you used to do when you first met. That'll probably work. It could be medication also. Has she started any new birth control before this started? Could she be starting menopaus? You didnt say your ages. I would just talk to her and try to find out what it could be. Good Luck!!

No definitely not~!~!
