Why do girls hide this and ruin lives of innocent boys?

I’ve been married for two years to my wife, who has been my best friend since school. She was basically my only real option, and I genuinely loved her as my closest friend.

Our sex life was never great, but I thought that was normal. I have a much higher sex drive than her, and for the first year it was enough to keep me satisfied. The second year it basically disappeared. I spent months thinking I was doing something wrong maybe I wasn’t attractive enough, wasn’t helping enough around the house, or she was stressed or dealing with health issues. I tried fixing everything I could, but she always said she just wasn’t in the mood.

Overall, our relationship is decent. We don’t fight or disrespect each other, except about this issue. Two weeks ago, I was on her phone and saw old ChatGPT conversations where she was asking about asexuality. When I confronted her, she finally admitted she’s asexual and has known since puberty. She said she married me because she loves me as her best friend and believed I’d never leave her because I’m a “good man.”

I felt deeply betrayed. She knew this fundamental incompatibility and still chose to marry me, letting me blame myself for our lack of intimacy the entire time. I told her the marriage is over and suggested she move back in with her parents while we sort out the divorce. She says I’m moving too fast and has offered to have sex whenever I want, but I told her I could never do that I refuse to feel like I’m forcing or assaulting her. I want mutual desire, not obligation.

Our parents now know and are telling me I’m in the wrong for wanting to end it. She made me promise to at least consider therapy, which is why I’m here. But I have a very high sex drive and genuinely don’t think I can live like this long-term.

I feel like I’m not crazy for wanting a divorce, but that’s all I’ve been hearing lately.

F | 39 | Lahore| Tying my Camel

Gender: Female

Age: 39

Height & Weight: 5'3" & 55kg

Location: I am from Lahore, and live in Lahore.

Marital status: Single (never married)

Education: I am currently Pursuing PhD with a focus on climate change policies.

Profession: I was a full time university lecturer for the last 10 years and currently working part-time at senior school considering that I want to  finish my PhD. I also frequently teach visiting faculty courses in universities.

Residence (Own/Rented): Owned (Family Home)

Religion: Islam, Sunni. For me, as I would like to put it, spiritual enlightenment is particularly important. Although external expression of religious practices are indisputably important but I like to believe that the goal of religion and faith is to achieve a good character, and that is the rule I use to evaluate myself and others. I try to be consistent with my prayers (not always successful), give charity and especially love to contemplate over themes within Quran Al-Hakeem, a habit I developed few years ago when I started reading it with translation and understanding.

About me: I am an honest, light-hearted, spiritually inclined, yet moderately progressive person. I like intellectually stimulated people, not particularly nerds but individuals who are aware of their surroundings and are naturally empathetic and emotionally mature. I frequently read and fancy writing. I aim to publish my spiritual observations and fictional writings in shape of a novel or stories some day  especially when I find some respite from my current academic endeavors. I am known by most people as friendly, progressive, and especially a kind person. I like to laugh and love outdoors, such as strolling in open spaces, green pastures and natural habitats.

Hobbies:  I am an unpublished fiction writer, and an avid reader. Although I do have a couple of published academic papers in academic journals but that is part of my profession and not to be considered a hobby. However, these days since I am predisposed to prioritize my PhD thesis, I am considerably less focused on fiction writings. But it is my heartfelt desire to publish at some point. I have an online writing blog as well. Moreover, I like to binge watch online series and documentaries, my favorite theme is historical adventure and fantasy. I love stories like Narnia or Harry Potter, animated movies are my go to family entertainers and crime series or murder mysteries are my guilty pleasure. I have lots of creative imagination and most of my hobbies would involved creative expression, be it reading, writing, watching or even drawing or DIY projects.

MBTI: As an INFJ, I am naturally insightful, dependable and my instinctive nature is to establish harmonious relationships through cooperation and communication.

Love language: I like words of affirmation, as communication is the key, I believe being active listening is commendable as a love language. Quality time, receiving gifts and acts of service.

Family Details: We are two siblings. I am younger sister, while I have an elder brother. My father passed away two years ago and my mother is a home-maker. We are a family of three people currently.

Requirements for a Partner: Someone who resonates with similar morals and beliefs. Not accepting of married men, however, divorced or widowed who can offer the desired companionship are welcomed.

I am alright with an age group of 34 years and onwards. Also, please do have an active rishta profile already in the process to view. 

I am looking for someone who has a strong character, someone who is emotionally mature and is already sure of finding a partner for marriage. I am accepting of overseas Pakistanis, I have travelled to Europe and USA for academic purposes over a period of time. As I mentioned in the beginning that I am looking for a companion, therefore I want to be with someone who is able to respect a partner, respect I believe is cornerstone in a relationship. Be open to  have communication as a foundational step towards building a relationship. I am a supportive and kind companion, and would like a similar character trait in my prospective partner. If you are self assured and know what you want from a marriage with a compassionate outlook, you will find me equally affectionate and giving in the relationship. I am a naturally kind person, not only towards humans, but  equally towards animals and other creatures, I like to give charity and send good vibes to the universe.

Deal Breakers: Someone who is pretentious and pompous. I am a humble person and appreciate humility with depth of character. I like people who prefer  being themselves and like  to express themselves honestly, intentionally and clearly.  Also, please be mindful of the basic characteristics that are non-negotiable such as consumption of narcotics, drugs or addictive substances, partying or interest in keeping side chics or extra marital relationships. Don’t be a cheater, or a liar, be upfront and honest even about things that seem uncomfortable. Anger issues or narcissism are part of personal development issues therefore, they can render a relationship hollow of basic respect. If you harbor these traits, then please stay away. 

Preferred Family Setup:  I seek a peaceful home life,  and want to build upon the nuclear family system.  If need be, a separate portion within a same house otherwise  separate house itself is preferred to maintain a sense of privacy.

Do You Want Children? I love kids.

What you can expect from me: I am a friendly, affectionate, honest and loyal person. I have spent last some years to build myself professionally, academically and spiritually. I seek to continue working post marriage however, I expect from my partner to lead the financial responsibility. Mutual understanding is the key inshaAllah.

Timeframe for Marriage: Within 6 months (establish compatibility within weeks), holding onto faith in Allah azzawajal and His mercy. If He wills, it will happen in the divine timing.

If you are interested, please reach out to me with a little bit of details about you (so this way I know who are you). I am not going to reply to your "Hi" only message.

I've a question for married guys who are working abroad and whose family is in Pakistan

(Disclaimer: this is a serious question with pure intention so don't take it negatively and only answer to the point)

So this question is for guys under 45,do you guys feel h\*rny,and feel the need to fulfil your needs,and do you guys regret working abroad far from your spouse?and do you guys regret that for earning money you can't even sleep with your spouse everyday(I'm not talking about emotional regret)

And if a guy wants to move to uae,and he can visit Pakistan for 5 days every 2 months atleast or maybe even every month for 5 days,what would you suggest him? should he move or not,and is he gonna have a regret in his heart or not?and after 30 does even a guy feel that h..ny and would five days every 2 months be enough for him or is he gonna regret it?
