You are only going to give your daughter a bad example of what a marriage looks like by staying.
I was angry when I first came on here. I thought about cheating but instead turned it on my wife. I did not want to hear Baza's advice but I needed to take it. Cheating is not a fix and only prolongs the misery. You still have to go home and be with the wife. It might as well be a good relationship instead of just existing. If you have no choice and the wife does not care then go cheat but realize she'll still be at home when you get back from your mistress.
I'm glad that I did not cheat. I faced the wife and things are changing in my relationship. I'm not sure if I'll stay. My mind is still not made up but I'm getting sex again, which helps. I'm also carrying my head higher now days. I was becoming a shell of the man that I was when I first got married. Sexless marriages drain the life out of you. They poison you slowly.
Also, if I do decide to leave and I've been caught cheating there goes my alimony support. My wife holds the financial purse strings in the house. In my state there is spousal alimony which I can get, since I've forgone my earning potential raising our children. It's good to go and talk to an attorney. You'll know more your options.
The day I decide that I need to cheat is the day that I file for divorce. Life is too short to be in a miserable marriage. I have news for you. Your wife is not going to change until you demand a change in her. Begin working on yourself. Start taking good care of your health and find yourself a hobby and get out of the house.

I honestly don't think she would give a shit about me cheating. Many times I've got up during the night and went off driving until morning. She has been up when I've walked through the door after the drive and never asked me where I've been. Even though she doesn't give a shit about cheating, if you do leave, it will be used against you to the maximum extent of the law. Depending on where you live, that can be nothing, or can result in you getting taken to the cleaners.

Update. I sat down with her when my daughter went to bed. I spoke in a calm but serious tone about the effects of a sexless marriage is having on me as well as being ignored everytime I bring it up. I even mentioned about the tubes of sex lube being used by her and that I only came across them as I was looking for signs that she was having an affair. She broke down in tears, said that she still loves me and would have blame me if I sought sex elsewhere. She then took off her shirt and jeans . She is covered in scaly skin from below her breasts to her thighs, it's even worse around her genital area. She has psoriasis and it bleeds. Medication did not work and she was using the lube in order to stop scratching herself in her sleep. I told her that I loved her and that problems should be shared. I will update here with what happens .....

irishjohn, frustrating that it took getting to this point for her to open up about her condition, but at least she has shared and perhaps having you "in the loop" can help her overcome her shame about it, and maybe benefit from a second set of eyes looking for solutions. It's certainly in both your interests. I'm reading between the lines that this is perhaps the root of her lack of intimacy? Aside from embarrassment, I can only imagine the constant discomfort.

If this psoriasis has only been an issue that you've known of for a couple of days, it seems that it is highly unlikely to be the "why", given the status of your deal since 2008 or earlier. - Anyway, if we are heading down the skin complaints side road, I offer up this - I had this complaint the last 5 years of my deal. I tried numerous treatments, saw a couple of dermatologists. Of all the prescribed treatments, only cortisone based creams seemed to work, to some degree. Of the "home remedies", some made it worse (eucalyptus oil comes to mind there) and some alleviated it a bit (medicated honey being the main thing)
Interestingly enough, when I left my ILIASM deal, my skin problem went away in a bit over 3 weeks, all by itself, with no treatment at all.
I'd conclude from this that my version of this skin complaint was stress related.
If it is of any use, from the "home remedies" point, that medicated honey is marketed in Australia as marketed by Comvita Australia Pty Ltd. The parent company is the Scanlan Group BV based in the Netherlands. In Australia the product is called "MediHoney" antibacterial. It comes in a tube, much like a toothpaste tube. It's about $8 (aus) a 25gram tube.
Skin issues are notoriously hard to treat. What works well on one person may be totally useless on another.

She has been up when I've walked through the door after the drive and never asked me where I've been. She may not care, but she'll care what proof of you cheating might be able to do for her in a divorce/custody case. And she might think she doesn't care, but if you start doing this and going out regularly, coming home looking happy, and have an overall attitude of not giving any fucks for her, she may start to care, and that is where your difficulties begin. Don't get caught in a situation that you don't want to have to explain to others, including a judge. See an attorney and discuss options. You never know someone until you divorce them and you don't want to have be on the defensive in that case.
