My dad's been married 4 times. He's been with his current wife (my stepmother) for about 16 years now. He has a habit of cheating on his wives for about a year or two before getting a divorce. He is my father, and I love him for that, but I don't take sh!t from him on moral issues and he doesn't try to press me on them anymore, because he knows he's a slimeball, and he knows that I know.
What happened to the idea of responsibility? Or honesty? Hey, guess what, your husband's "boring in bed"... grow up a little and either broach the topic and work through it or get a divorce. Have the guts to honor your significant other, even if that's the minimum that you do.
I need a smoke.

asshole? heh...maybe that is true, however you are just a child. Have you even lived with a woman that wasn't a blood relative?
I have lived with 6 women, I think I know a bit about the ups and downs of relationships. I was married, I divorced, I had another financee...and now I am married again. There have been fights, battles, infidelities, there has been passion, caring and kindness as well. Life is a rollercoaster sometimes...many just chose to stay home and not ride.
You don't know what goes on in your parent's bedroom no matter how close you are to your parents and it's fools that think they do. Many times people's own spouses have no idea of a decade long infidelity....do you really think between X-Box and power rangers you have any idea the major reasons your father really cheated. Nice you think he is a slimeball, sort of make the asshole you called me a complement.
I will tell you what, it's not always about the sex. The sex happening is what happens when two adults like each other...no a stork did not drop you on a doorstep. When someone is not happy at home they will talk to others sometimes....sometimes that leads to a closeness not felt in a very long time and yes, people forget they are married and end up in bed with someone that actually listened to them for more than 5 minutes before yelling or telling them they are stupid/childish to think in such a way. However, the relationship was already doomed before that lapse of judgement took place. Also usually the person is not very happy with themselves about it.
People who are clueless think it's all about "my wife doesn't do this and my husband doesn't do that in bed....." that's the minor issues usually, the ones focused on at the end of a day....the ones you remember. For all you know you may be the reason your father cheats, he obviously knows you hate it, yet still does it in front of you. No matter how sexually aggressive two people are there are going to be times when one says 'no'. Another thing the non-married like to talk about is how the man needs to wear the pants and demand sex happen...his wife is his to take when he wants....good luck with that one and get in touch with a good domestic abuse defence attorney if she doesn't cut it off one night.
Like I stated before, there are long drawn out books that can be written on why an affair happens, each chapter could be a reason. There could also be another book written on why or why not someone tells their other about it. There can be another long and drawn out book on dealing with, ignoring, or not dealing with the infidelity. This is not really a simple subject.
On top of that most posters here have not been in many serious relationships, if any relationships, yet feel they understand what it's all about.
