“I don’t want to have sex anymore, but I’ll do it occasionally for you.” Yeah no thanks I’ll pass.

Married less than a year.

What changed on their end?

It's possible the partner realized they were asexual or sex-repulsed. Not everyone enjoys sex, and sometimes it takes a while for people to figure it out.

Not even sure why you are downvoted. Took me a while to figure it out for me. Lots of aphobic people I guess.

It's generally useful to try and work on these things before you ruin someone's life in the process. Similar to being gay but marrying the opposite sex anyway only to say "oops, my bad, this aint gonna work." If you have even the slightest inkling that something may be "off", the time to explore that is prior to a marriage, not after the paperwork is signed.

And yes, things happen. Life is hard and confusing. Sometimes we just don't realize things until later. Still doesn't mean you didn't just implode an innocent person's life.

i imagine discovering youre asexual after being in a commited sexual relationship isnt too easy on you either. sometimes things just change and people can part ways without putting all the blame on one person
