My marriage survived so far 10 years, I’ve been with my wife for 13 years now. Even though she has been impacted by her illnesses psychologically and mentally, I have no plans of giving up on her.

Not only do I swear to love her in sickness and in health, but I am also the only person who can advocate for her when she experiences flare-ups of either, endometriosis or fibromyalgia. I speak for her with her boss at work, I also attend with her all the hospital and doctor’s appointments.

When it comes to a sexless marriage, we survive thanks to open and honest communication.

How long do sexless marriages last? It depends on the couple. My marriage survived beautiful 10 years, but we keep going, and there are many more years to come.

It survived because I realized I had to educate myself to help my wife by understanding her disabling condition. I found a book called “Endometriosis – Healing from the Inside Out” which you can preview and buy below… This book dives deep into the whole topic of using a vast range of safe natural therapies and nutrition to help manage endometriosis.

What a sexless marriage does to a woman?

Not being a woman myself I should find it hard to tell you what a sexless marriage does to a woman, however, seeing my wife struggle with it I can answer your question, here it is…

Endometriosis sexless marriages can survive the test of time because women are naturally caring and loving, however, they also feel isolated, have low self-esteem, and feel useless to their husbands, which has an impact on their intimacy, and can often end up in separation or divorce.

Chronically ill women are much more likely to be divorced as opposed to men who suffer from a chronic condition.

Men are more likely to have an affair because of the way nature created them. Men meant to hunt and reproduce to give them a chance for more offspring and the survival of their families.

Women were meant to stay home and take care of their offspring. These days we moved on, but males still have the same instincts.

What a sexless marriage does to a woman? It leaves her vulnerable and scared because aside from endometriosis in a sexless marriage, men often cannot cope with the fact they may be prevented from having offspring.

Women become depressed over the loss, and anxious about their uncertain future.

What does a sexless marriage do to a man?

Men of women with endometriosis often think of having sex. Because of the fact they don’t get it at home, sometimes they seek it elsewhere. Sexual affairs are common.

The consequences of a sexless marriage can lead to low libido and depression. Men experience depression for not having enough sex. This leads to anxiety, anger issues, and even resentment. They begin to look for sexual satisfaction elsewhere. They feel ashamed but their urges don’t go away.

So, how can endometriosis sexless marriage survive?

Well, you need to realize that you didn’t choose to be in a sexless relationship. It happened because of endometriosis, and it happened gradually.

A man can be impacted strongly by the lack of sex. Weeks turn into months, and he finds himself in a no-sex marriage.

But it doesn’t have to be sexless. Think outside the box, google things if you have to. Just put in the search engine “how can endometriosis sexless marriage survive” and you will find the answers.

A word of advice…

If you still wonder if endometriosis sexless marriage can survive, I’ll give you some tips of my own.

I changed my approach to sex when I realized that something was wrong and my wife experienced lots of pain. That was before she was diagnosed with endometriosis. It used to be about old-fashioned penetration, but then I discovered BDSM.

It is sex on a deeper level, with more trust, understanding, and experimentation. And it’s kinky. Who doesn’t like kinky sex?

As long as you have a passion for your partner and you love her, you are going to deal with all the challenges. Besides, remember that endometriosis doesn’t prevent you from having sex.

Sex is more than simple penetration, although, with enough preparation and time, you can still do it. Just always put her first!

Remember that sexless marriage can also be caused by emotional issues. Depression or stress, even some medications, can decrease libido.

Anyway, what is wrong with this description of a sexless marriage? Communicate with your partner openly and you will figure things out.

As long ad you are not trying to sort things out alone, you will, both of you.

Health issues can be overcome with the right strategy, so create intimacy in new ways if you have to, but don’t forget about intimacy entirely.
