Just wondering if anyone saw the View this morning. This women who does the beverly hills housewife's reality show (camile Grahmer) was on and she has been making the rounds on all the talk shows talking about her marriage and how it was over and what a dog her husband was (which he could have been). But she then mentioned that she had not had sex with her husband in over two years!! I was surprised at why she thought that her husband would then find another women. She said he was her best friend but they had stopped having sex. OK, then what world are you living in when you can go that long and not have sex with your husband and expect to keep a marriage.
I just thought it was a little strange.
I just thought it was weird that this women has been talking about this everywhere when apparently she never had a marriage in a long time. Just made me think of how strange people can be. I happened to take a skip day or mental health day from work today and I watched this show. Wished I had taken this day on Wednesday or Thursday since there are reports of a huge snow storm headed this way.
If by 'best friend' she meant 'best friend with huge bank account that I will have access to when he dies or we divorce'...
I can't watch this show, and it's for the very reason you posted: there's a lot of focus on trash, period. They have the potential to actually put interesting, informative guests on the show, but those tend to become overshadowed by the controversial topics and non-talent (Ms. Camille) "personalities".
As to your specific question, couples do go through rough patches and 'dry spells'. My grandmother once described the time my grandfather was going through Valium withdrawl (it was medically prescribed, btw, back in the 70's) as "The year Daddy Hated Me", and I'm pretty sure there wasn't much intimacy. Sex is an important part of a marriage, but sometimes other issues get in the way of the physical attraction. Think, too, about how many couples deal with serious illnesses or injuries and stay true to each other.
For what it's worth, however, I think Camille's talking out of both sides of her mouth, because if he WAS her best friend, she wouldn't be broadcasting this information. That's not how I would treat my husband or any of my friends.
Why air that dirty laundry in public?
I do, however, believe that if it doesn't bother the man or the woman, a marriage that's "non-existent" in the bedroom can still be valid. It would only be a problem if it bothered O. of them--and apparently Kelsey needed a little something-something else.
That lady is desperately clinging to her 15 minutes of fame!

Sex has nothing to do, if your marriage is ok.I know people who have alot of sex, but have a horrible marriage, and people who have no sex for a long time and have a great marriage.....
If I remember correctly, she wouldn't sleep with him until they were married... I kind of recall a big People article about it, etc. Anyhoo, that plus this new admission makes me think that she was very controlling in terms of whether it happened or not from the beginning. Sounds like she had certain expectations on when and whether it was appropriate.
I think right now she is feeling rejected and hurt. When you feel that way, you sometimes say just about anything. Your mind and emotions change from day to day.. Without them BOTH on the set at the time, it's hard to say what really happened in the marriage.
