We have been married for 21 years. I take pride in how I look and make sure I am still attractive to my husband. Our marriage is going through a rocky stage,we are arguing a lot lately. When I do bring up the issue of us not having sex for weeks he tells me sarcastically he is fine as he is masturbating,because we are always arguing. I find this insulting and hurtful as he has had a huge issue with pornography in the past which led to an affair. Do u think he prefers the masturabation rather than being being intimate with me?

I have been married for over 24 years. My husband had a fantasy masturbation problem before I met in. Meaning that he was more into porn and masturbation than real life women. After a few years of marriage I somewhat overlooked this issue and then found my self in a very emotional abusive relationship for over 10 years. He had gone into the closet and spent all of his sexual energy on porn and masturbation. He kept it a secret and when I found out we almost divorced. He then went into treatment and things were excellent for a year. He is now back into daily masturbation and fantasy and now finds it hard to climax with me. He will not initiate sex again and we are only sexual if I initiate. The relationship was solid when he choose to go back to self pleasuring. Now, no matter where we go he spends alot of time looking at very young women. He is 59 and his target fantasy girl is teens to early 20's. They say masturbation is healthy.. but how can this be healthy if the loving wife is left to a life celibacy or very bad sex from the guy that can't ever seem to be satisfied.
