Sexless marriage: what it means and what people do about it

A sexless marriage is one in which the couple has little or no sex over a long stretch, and at least one of them minds. It is common, it usually arrives gradually, and it says more about tiredness, resentment, health or habit than about love. Couples who change it almost always start by talking about it plainly, often with a counselor in the room.

Sexual fantasies: the common ones and what they tell you

A sexual fantasy is an imagined scene that arouses you, and nearly every adult has them. The common themes are few: novelty, more than one partner, power given or taken, being intensely wanted, and romance. A fantasy tells you what a feeling looks like in your imagination. It is not a plan, a prediction or a verdict on your character.

Married but lonely

Being married but lonely means sharing a home and a life with someone and still feeling unknown to them. It is common, and it usually comes from years of talking about logistics instead of each other, not from a lack of love. It tends to ease when one person says so plainly and both begin paying small, regular attention again; a couples counselor helps when that conversation will not hold.

Lonely tonight: what helps in the next hour

If you are lonely tonight, the things that help within an hour are simple: eat something, change the light and the room, hear a human voice, and put yourself near other people even if you do not talk to them. Loneliness is loudest late in the evening and usually smaller by morning. If it comes with thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988 in the United States, or your local crisis line.

How to talk to a woman without a script

To talk to a woman without a script, treat it as a conversation with a person, not a performance for an audience. Open with something true about the situation you are both in, ask a real question, listen to the answer and offer something of yourself in return. Pay attention to whether she wants to keep talking, and leave gracefully if she does not.
