I am not much of a fan of celebrities, but an article on ninenews.com/honey took my eye today and I copy it below in italics.
I figure the chick might be famous in the UK.
Can't say that I've ever heard of her.
Television personality Ulrika Jonsson has revealed she considered asking her husband if she could have an affair for her 50th birthday.
She and then-husband Brian Monet had sex just once in eight years and Jonsson found herself longing to be intimate with someone again.
In a lengthy piece for the Daily Mail, Jonsson opened up about how menopause affected her marriage, and the toll Brian's lack of sexual interest in her caused "deep hurt and frustration".
"Should I ask my husband for permission to seek sexual intimacy elsewhere?" Jonsson wrote.
"It was a fleeting notion, born out of deep hurt and frustration over the fact that Brian and I had made love just once in nearly eight years. But one shocking enough, as this landmark birthday approached, to make me realise just how wretched my sexless marriage was making me feel.
"This thought was transitory and born out of sheer desperation — infidelity was an act I knew full well I would never actually embark on, let alone seek Brian's permission to pursue.
"Indeed, it only occurred to me to ask in the first place because I'd reached a point where shock tactics seemed the only way to get my husband's attention — the only way to force him to realise just how miserable I'd become, while communicating the urgency of our situation."
Jonsson said that, in reality, she didn't want to sleep with someone else because betraying her family was not an option.
"But I also couldn't reconcile myself to never being touched or made love to again."
She and Brian divorced earlier this year and to this day Jonsson can't understand why her husband wasn't interested in sex.
Anyway, thought the article might be an interesting read for the ILIASM punters.
To me it is yet another confirmation that the "why" doesn't matter.
