> Okay, to the old marrieds out there - sometimes partners develop mismatched sets of drives along the way. So if you were wanting sex and there was no health or travel reason for it how long would you wait _within the context of a marriage_ before a spouse’s declination was a marriage ender?

If I were in some other marriage, I think it would depend on how I felt about the marriage as a whole.

In the marriage I’m in, the answer is, ‘til death do us part.’ 🙂

I’m where I want to be. It’s that simple. 🙂
