My ex-wife and I are still having sex after getting divorced about 2 years ago. We were married about 7 years and did not have any kids; however, we share custody of our dog. We are still having sex about 1-3 times a month. The sex is amazing. Pretty much every time we get together to exchange him we end up tearing off each others cloths. It’s not unusual for her to show up at my place after a night on the town ready to have sex and vice versa. Is this normal?
I’m 27 and my boyfriend just asked to marry me and I want to say no- not because I don’t love him. but because after listening to all my guys friend and brothers deal with their marriage and relationship, I’m convinced that women get SCREWED IN MARRIAGE.
Let me just say I’m not a man basher- I love men- the world would be boring without them. I’m independent- though I like when a guy does something for me without expectation and thus show my appreciation. I have a good job, take personal development classes, keep in good shape, and love to travel and do it often. I’m just afraid if I GET MARRIED I WILL LOSE MYSELF.
As women we are taught to grow up, get educated,get a career, get married, and maybe have children. Men get mad if we make more than them. If we get married, we are constantly told we forced him to settle down despite the man is the one, more often then not, who proposed. We then have children, which takes a toll on our bodies making us less attractive. Now strapped with most of the child-rearing duties and a full time job outside the home (with the economy it is to me expected that both work so that the family can survive) we have no time to get back to pre baby status. And if we try to it costs money (nails, new clothes, hair, makeup) we are then called golddiggers. After making money, raising the couples children, doing most of the domestic chores, men then complain that the wife will not have sex due to tiredness and they wonder why? We can not ask for help because it would be nagging. They don’t listen if we did approach them with a problem anyway. We give them their guy time to get away from the house despite being saddled with most of the domestic obligations ourselves. They put their friends first and we put our families first. They constantly complain about THE WIFE and then expect their wives to stroke their egos Men then use that time to cheat claiming that we became boring, no sex, or bad sex. I’m sorry, but a women with children, chores, and a fulltime job does not have time to get away to maintain herself ie girls night, waxing,take a class, read a good book or anything to she used to do that made the women interesting to the man to begin with. In divorce men complain that they get half their stuff taken- YA SO DO WE. ( I have a substantial saving pot, no debtat all, and two incoming producing rentals that I do not want to lose.) They complain that they lose the children when it has been my experience most of my divorce female friends say that their ex expected them to take the children because they don’t want to hassle with raising them. Anybody with children know that matter how much child support they get it is never equal to half the cost of raising a child. Alimony- I do not believe in unless you can prove without a shadow of a double that the women had to give up her career for somebody to stay home and raise the child -daycare is equivalent to a months pay nowadays making it pointless to have someone else f-up your kids when you can do it the right way by staying home.- In the end the man can go and start a new family forgetting about his old one and a women is looked down upon in the dating world for having children.
What should I do?

He loved me and he took the breakup badly too. We cared about each other and we loved each other and we even talked about marriage. But, the end was so dead and almost flat, despite working hard to save it.
I was in a long term relationship and we were having trouble communicating sexual. We also lived long distance and our sex life was almost nonexistent.
The end of our relationship felt so flat and so loveless. But, I loved him and he was my everything. The breakup was heartbreaking. I often wonder if our nonexistent sex life was one of the reasons are walking relationship felt like it was missing something.
We didn’t have that spark or that playfulness. Could it have been caused by not having a good sex life?
