Haha, love the meme, so fucking true!
I am feeling so down and hopeless at this time. I hate feeling like this, in a bad mood, feel hopeless and unwanted and unloved. Its incredible how you can be lonely but not alone.

The opposite of hopeless is disappointedless.

Finally hitting the point where you simply stop caring one way or the other.

I believe some Women do withhold, and support each other in this effort. However, I do not believe withholding men do the same.

I know my wife has mentioned that when we're with other couples she's jealous of the easy banter and interactions of the other couples. In those situations she goes out her way to hold my hand or hug me in front of the other couple. So she absolutely wants everyone else to think things are perfect.

For me I've only talked about this with my sister. My sister is absolutely understanding and has told me the whole family would be understanding and support whatever choice I make. As for when I'm out with with friends or work, I don't talk about my home life at all.

so.... she gets to keep and maintain her vanity facade, the Perfect Marriage?

i think it depends on the group but i know women who say nope that is all over to one audience and no we are still active to others,,,,lmao
if she bought into all the sisters are doing this..... in my experience women are known for just agreeing in a circle of friends even if they are lying.

On the male side no one would ever admit they are refusers.....
my spouse if the subject came up would say "yeah me and the wife are going at it all the time " what a joke.

Next time that happens, double-up with laughter, accompanying this with thigh-slapping and tears of mirth. That should cure that quickly enough.

I remember taking another approach to the fake mask of my now ex "W", when we where with other couples, friends, relatives,etc... and that is : Isolating myself from her and others, retreating and avoiding the problem all together.

A short term, temporary, band aid approach. In reality ,I was cheating myself out of good, healthy relationships with the right people.
