THE CASE OF THE DISGUSTED SPOUSE

THE CASE OF THE DISGUSTED SPOUSE

 

 

Dear Playboy Author Boy,

 

What would you do if your wife said she’s no longer attracted to you? Should I try to keep it together or not?

Dear Lonesome,

 

This happened to me, so my answer is not so much a hypothetical:

 

My wife told me “I don’t want to fuck you anymore.  I’m not attracted to you.  I don’t want us touching anymore.”  I went upstairs, packed afew bags and moved to a hotel.  For the next week I refused to speak to her.  A month later, under a barrage of her emails, I emailed her that I wanted a divorce.

 

We met after six weeks.  She begged me to take her back.  I said, "I thought you weren't attracted to me."

 

She said that was still true, but we had a kid, mortgage, blah blah blah.

 

No thanks, I said.

 

Once your partner can't bear the thought of touching you, your relationship is long since over.

P.S.  I'm happy now with a woman who lusts for me.  You should be too.
