Sexless relationships are soon parted. As reported by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, “My psychiatrist said my wife and I should have sex every night. Now, we'll never see each other!”. Such was the suit for a French couple in a sexless marriage, reports The Telegraph, but there's an additional catch. A judge in the French city of Aix-en-Provence determined that the male had to repay his ex $14,000 for insufficient sex over their 21-year marriage. Now, what's the relevance of sex in marriage? In my opinion, sex is a huge part of a healthy relationship. It helps maintain closeness and intimacy, but marriage should not be all about sex. The real measure of a happy marriage is the passion of both partners. That is indeed priceless!

That works out to $1.83 a night.

So your wife comes in at bedtime, make-up removed, looking rather frumpy, dude should have just handed her over a couple of bucks and said, "I included a tip".

First I think I've heard a woman complain about the lack of sex from a man.

I'm not sure if this paints you in a positive or a negative light.

Probably because woman complain about everything and their long-term emotional wounds lead to them holding onto grudges for an extremely long period of time?

---

Wow....way to lump us all together.

that was a broad generalization

you just aren't winning points for sensitivity today

The whole lawsuit is funny but if a man tried the reverse, would he chastised by the feminist movement as forcing a wife into sex?

But seriously it's frightening. If I marry someone who is one thing and they turn into something else and refuse to be what they once were (and what I married) then it's sort of like I was tricked into it.

Whether that trait was "let's go to concerts and tailgate" or "we never do puzzles and games anymore" or even "you put on 50 pounds and only care about eating or snacking instead of being active with me" ... why should it matter?

I agree, but sometimes you reap what you sew. So you have to work together to get through some of these issues.

One thing I'm having is that my girlfriend (who I care a ton about, she's the best, she takes care of me in every single way, she's intelligent, pretty, acts right, doesn't drink too much, polite, tons of fun to be around).

So my girlfriend and I spend a ton of time together, a lot of that involves eating. My diet is awful. She likes to eat too, so I'm not a good influence on her at all. I love fast food and just junk food in general. I go nuts at the candy aisle. But the thing is, I can eat tons of food and I don't really gain weight. Only when I'm smoking pot (two months a year) do I gain weight, because I snack ALL DAY. But still, my eating habits are awful, and it affects her more than it affects me.

She's put on a little weight, while I don't. So at some point, we're going to have to buckle down, eat better and start being more active. Less time watching movies or sports, more time walking together or working toward staying in shape.

At this point, I'd rather have her put on some weight and continue my lifestyle (I like some "heat" on a girl, really skinny chicks just don't do it for me, I like a woman), but if we continue to be and get married or something, things will have to change in our habits. And that's on me, as well as her.

so, if you get married in your 20s, then you expect the person to look and act the exact same way the rest of their life?

---

I'm totally screwed if my wife sees this. She's still hot, and I'm balder and fatter. She'd have a slam dunk case!

I'll bet you don't take her out as often as you did when you were dating too

People do age and mature, my wife and I went to concerts and did a lot of spontaneous stuff way back when... we don't do nearly as much of it any more after 2 kids and we both now work more, etc.. it would be totally unfair of me to expect her to live the same lifestyle in her 40s that we lived in our 20s. With that said, there has to be room for fun and compromise and that is part of any long term relationship.

I do agree though that with weight and appearance you should have a level of expectation that your significant other take care of themselves.

I knew a guy who got married when he was 23, his wife was the same age. For some bizarre reason at about the age of 28, she started smoking (who makes it to 28 without smoking and THEN starts? ) But that's what she did and he hated it. She knew when they met that he hated it and he had never done and would never do it and didn't like to be around it. She refused to quit and it led to fighting and bickering and a host of other problems and they were divorced at 32.

I'd just like the attractiveness drop-off to sort of come at the same pace or something.

---

You better hope she doesn't feel that way because she will probably be a lot better looking than you a lot longer than you.

J/C...

Does anyone know how often you have to have sex in France so you don't get sued? And, really, isn't that like forced rape? Sleep with me or I'll sue you?

Ugh.

Obviously not, but as someone who's 26, if I marry a girl, I'd like her to continue to be somewhat concerned about her appearance throughout our life together.

I'd just like the attractiveness drop-off to sort of come at the same pace or something. You've gotta understand what we're talking about, you've seen it happen. I can't expect the girl I marry to look like she's 25 her whole life, but appearance does count. Don't turn into a bowling ball or something.

Remember guys, the attraction thing works both ways. Don't go bald. Don't get a beer gut. Pluck the hair out of your nose and ears. Just sayin'.

---

No doubt, Michelle!

I still have hair, and my gut is a 6 pack, and I keep myself well-groomed. I do take care of myself and can say I look just as good as I did 10 years ago. At least I hope.
