You do know that there are wives who come home to their husbands after they cheated in a hotel room or some other man's house, right?


So you should live as a celibate the rest of your life? are you OK with that?

@Koopatroopa I'm sorry man, you seem to be only a sperm donor and a babysitter!
Once that baby came out your role as a lover ended, and now you are the babysitter and a roommate to help clean the house and help with finance!
You seem to not know any thing about female behaviour or how to deal with it!

I know many women who are going through menopause and still having sex with their husbands and respect them because they know how to keep a man, and those men are ready to dash out if they don't get their needs met, but if you're the type who will be sticking around why does she needs to change (honest question)?
No I am not ok never having sex again and I am tired of the one way street thing like I said I have to ask everytime,never try to touch me much,very rarely, before the kid and the health scare and all the bs I put on here,she couldn't keep her hands off me.kid comes bs starts health scare then the sex dies down,then the affection dies down,we talk on the phone while she is driving convos are silent most of the time.i have to start a convo otherwise we just sit in silence same for when she comes home.is the one overy thing bs,fyi she had a cyst on her left overy and it was about to rupture.doc said she may lose interest or drive may go down a bit,but she is never horny anymore she says,she told me last week that she don't care if she never has sex again.

I'm sorry, my man. That sounds really hard. She sounds either tired, depressed, or disconnected (or all three). What does she do to nurture the marriage and show you that she cares?

Well to answer your question about sex drive after having an ovary removed is yes it can decrease sex drive, depression, anxiety etc.. the doctor should have told you this. But that still doesn't explain having no issue showing the OM affection and attention and nothing for you. Doesn't explain her defending him an not you, doesn't explain wanting to spend time with OM and not you, doesn't explain talking to him about Marital problems on her bed, going to Thanksgiving with him etc etc etc.. she has traded you in for OM . She wants to talk to him and not you, she enjoys when he humiliates you.. otherwise she would have stopped it on her own and told OM to get lost because you are the one she loves and not him.. period. Now she is doing damage control because your ready to leave and she probably needs help babysitting and bills.. I'm sorry but I just don't believe your wife loves you anymore . I'm sorry

To be far to me and her iam 39years old she is arround the same age she had one of her overys removed, and her job is very physically and mentally demanding,so I kinda understand the low sex drive.but if you know tell does losing a overy like that kill wanting to hold my hand or loving on me?kissing me and not just pop kisses all the time?I never dealt with someone who has hormone problem.i try and it's always me reaching out or trying to tongue kiss,definitely me always asking for sex.
Don’t kiss her if she has sausage breath. Cook up your own sausage for a coworker.

She says she’s done with sex? Are they on the road together? If so, she’s done with sex, but only with you. No reason she wouldn’t shut that behaviour down hard unless she’s into him.

She needs hormones but can't take anything that raises her blood pressure.she drives a semi truck and unloads her own trailer. She and I are talking on the phone atm.it seems she wants to work it out,like I said I can't prove 100% that something physical happened,and fyi they sat up front in the cab to talk not on her bed in the back.she and I had a talk about medical help about the issue.she thinks it's hopeless and said if I can't then mayb I need to find someone else.

Having one ovary doesn’t have jack chit to do with your wife going to the dudes house.

Everyone’s words are completely lost on you. You can’t even see the big issue.
No just trying to not make my wife out to be a monster I am hearing everyone loud and clear. Not trying to be a butt but do you know of anyone that had a overy removed and how their sex life is.

Before I dive in, let me just say that I want to see the best in people. I tend to root for people to solve their problems and believe that, if both people are committed, then that can happen.

That being said, I have a hard time seeing your wife's commitment to you in what you have shared. Your wife failed miserably with putting you first when dealing with this other guy. It isn't about what his intentions were. She showed you that she didn't care about your feelings. I cannot say whether she crossed the line into an affair or not, but she for sure didn't put you first and that isn't what a loving wife would do. Going over to his house for Thanksgiving is beyond over the line when she knew you would be concerned. I just cannot understand the level of disregard for your feelings.

Second, her overall lack of affection could be a symptom of her falling out of love or depression or whatever. You won't know unless she is honest with you. Her losing an ovary doesn't keep her from being affectionate (hand holding, butt slaps, loving caresses, etc.). If she did them before in your relationship, it makes sense to try to get to the bottom of why she isn't now. She needs to be committed to figuring this out (if it isn't an affair) because YOUR NEEDS MATTER, TOO! She should want to solve this to make your life happier. You aren't asking for the moon here. You are asking that she acts like a loving and devoted wife.

@Koopatroopa Lets say for the sake of argument that the sex drive went to zero!
A lot of women do have passionate sex with zero drive because they like the love making part and the fact they are pleasing the man they love!
Your wife is not!
And even if we rule out the sex completely that doesn't excuse the zero affection through out the day after been gone for two weeks at a time, I'm talking about normal daily affection such as kissing, hugging, holding hands and snuggling!
And that is a big problem!
That's a huge RED flag!

Add to that the no boundaries she had/has with the OM!
That's a very, VERY bad sign for a wife that's away from her husband two weeks at a time!
@Koopatroopa you know where I'm going with this?

I can tell you love your wife, I can see your going to do everything you can to work things out. And I really do hope you two do works things out honestly. Seeing people married reconnect is great. I'm just forming my opinion of the FACTS you have stated and honestly I feel that one day when the truth is revealed you will be very hurt. I hope I'm wrong . I pray this was all just a misunderstanding. But if everything you said was true about her behavior with OM and the things that went on between them you are going to get hurt . But again I hope I'm wrong . I wish you the best of luck

Don’t let her pull that BS with you OP…. This “woe is me” crap is designed to get you to feel bad for her and back off about her recent despicable behavior. Stay strong and hold firm to your boundaries.

That makes me more worried... damaged people do really stupid stuff!
Do you know the forum section (Coping with Infidelity) there are hundreds of infidelity stories for women cheating on their spouses, many of them had sexual abuse when they were kids?! That didn't stop them wanted sex with other men! just so you know!
When people have no boundaries or crapy one, s***t hits the fan all the time!

You need to open your eyes and be realistic of the possibilities!

And even if we say nothing happened (for the sake of argument) , and your wife is faithful to you... how do you explain the no affection to someone who she claims to love, my man that doesn't compute?!

Something has happened or is happening while she is on the road alone for many days, and you need to get to the bottom of it, after all, your situation is not sustainable!

If you want to have a chance of your wife becoming a wife again, she needs to get a new job.

A job where she is home every night, not where she is home for a day and a half, every two weeks.

You have a remote wife, not a real one.

She has conditioned herself to be on her own.

Her real home is on those long roads, those rest stops, those shower rooms, and restaurants, hundreds, maybe a thousand miles from you.

She likely has a cadre of truck driver friends, both male and female that she meets up with, along the way.

In the old days, the CB radio was their link and conversation means.
It still is, but not so much.
They use it to spot the bear on the side of the road, or bear in the sky.

Now, it is cellphones, for personal communication.

Truck stops are where prostitutes haunt and hunt, card games are played, drug buying and use are common.
Having sex in trucks is common. The sexual pressure a female driver (co-driver) must endure must be high.

All sorts of illicit behavior happens at those stops.

The station owners call the police and attempt to halt this, but that is temporary.

There are ~4.5 million big class 8 semi trucks on the roads, on average.

Most drivers are great folks and good citizens.

There is always that 10% that struggle and live in shadows.
It is a very lonely job.

Back pain is common, as is constipation, and heart problems (from sitting all day).
Pain killers stop the pain, uppers keep them awake.

Cocaine is the number one, drug of choice for truckers.
This is followed by opioids and marijuana.

Studies have shown that less than 1% of truckers get busted for drug use, using urinalysis.
Drugs commonly linger in urine for about 3 days.

If hair samples are included that number jumps to 6-12%.
Hair retains drug usage stats for about 3 months.

The general population abuse drugs more than do truckers.
~13% are monthly+, or regular users. (If hair samples are used, this might also be the truckers statistic)
~22% are occasional users.

If your wife is having regular sex on the road, she wants to come home and relax, I would think.
This may be why she has no interest in it with you. She could have many willing partners.

This is a rotten thing to write and say, without proof.
I have no idea if this is the case.

The marriage threat is out there.
It is the (daily) perfect storm for infidelity.

She said she has no problem with it.
Going back many moons ago I made a sexual innuendo to one of my female coworkers and she slapped me hard on the top of my head, ouch and this was no where near as crude as this guy speaks to your wife.
It`s obvious this guy doesn`t care how you feel about this because your wife is siding with him against you and he`s even saying sexual innuendos to your wife in your presence. No way would I tolerate this because if a guy made such comments to my wife in front of me I`d be laying him flat out on the ground and sure most husbands would feel the same.
Your wife losing her temper when you complain about this guy is a form of gaslighting you, making it appear you are being unreasonable and the interfering a/hole.
Talking from experience and making an educated guess it seems your wife has an attraction for this guy, even going to dinner with him otherwise she`d not put up with his crap.
This is your situation and not sure how you can deal with it, but you need to do something.

Yea and he said look I don't like you that way and nothings going to happen if I come over.and Thanksgiving of 21 she couldn't make it home so conveniently she was at the right town as she ran out of time to drive her truck and she says Om invited me to his house for Thanksgiving his mom and aunt are there can I go,I said I don't like that idea and she said well I don't want to be alone on Thanksgiving and I want some turkey ,I gave in and let her I really had no contact with her during that day I text how's it going didn't get a reply for 2 or 3 hrs,arround 1030 or 930 pm he brought her back to her truck she didn't spend the night.but I can't confirm if any of those people were there or if they never was alone.
I just saw this.
Wow, couldn`t make this sh*t up, your wife goes to this guy`s home for thanks giving and how do you know his mother and aunt were there, including your wife is away ON THE JOB for weeks while you take care of the home and kid. This stinks.
Sorry my friend, this is not a marriage, you are being played both by that guy and your wife.
You need to wake up and smell the BS going on around you.
