Sex, Money, And Accountability In Marriage: Let’s Be Honest by Kalatium(op): 3:36pm On Dec 16, 2025
Let’s have a grown-up conversation without pretending we don’t understand incentives.

Sex and provision are not weapons; they are foundational exchanges in marriage. When either side deliberately withholds what sustains the union, the relationship starts to rot.

If sex is repeatedly withheld in marriage without medical, emotional, or exceptional reasons creates frustration, resentment, and emotional distance. This isn’t theory. It’s reality. A man whose core needs are consistently unmet will eventually seek relief elsewhere: emotionally, financially, or physically. Not because he is evil, but because deprivation has consequences.

At the same time, using money as leverage is also destructive. Provision should not be transactional blackmail, just as intimacy should not be treated as a bargaining chip. Marriage is not a power struggle; it’s a partnership.

The uncomfortable truth many avoid is this:
You don’t enter marriage just for love.
You enter it for companionship, intimacy, loyalty, support, and yes regular sexual access.

If someone enters marriage already unwilling to meet those needs, then the issue isn’t just the partner, it’s a mismatch in expectations.

A man sweating endlessly to provide while being emotionally and physically shut out is not in a healthy union. Likewise, a woman carrying emotional labor alone without support is also in a broken system.

The solution is not shame.
The solution is honesty before marriage and responsibility within it.

Marriage thrives when:

Needs are acknowledged, not dismissed
Intimacy is mutual, not negotiated
Provision is given freely, not extorted
Both partners feel desired, valued, and respected

When either side turns essential roles into control tools, the marriage stops being a home and becomes a battlefield.

And no one wins a war they’re fighting in their own house.

1. If the man is done with the marriage, he can rightly seek divorce; choosing to commit adultery— a blatant violation of the marriage agreement which he seeks to hold on to —is what makes the man an evil, despicable being. The same way society does not allow a woman to commit adultery when she is deprived is the same as a man who pleads deprivation when caught cheating is nothing but a scumbag. undecided

2. Wrong! The Traditional configuration of marriage is not a partnership but rather a master/slave agreement. undecided

3. Love, companionship, and sex are not the basic requirements of marriage, as people are generally able to configure their marriage as they see fit. undecided

3. In the case of a marriage mismatch, the legal next step is divorce; divorce has been available as a legal out to all married individuals for over 10 thousand years. undecided

Two conflicting matters cannot both be true. Either one is right, and the other is wrong, or both are wrong. 🥱🥱

Has it ever occurred to you that what you think is conflicting might not really be conflicting but just how you see it.

For example, it was battled in the beginning of 20th century whether light is a matter or a form of energy but the debate was that it was never both. Years later it was discovered it was both. Light exist as both matter and energy.

In summary. Life is not a zero sum game. It's not everytime that how you think things are means its the objective reality for everyone.

This subject isn't about life but about the supposed rightness of general opinions held by some humans regarding the freedoms of other humans. There is absolutely no reason why an opinion should be raised above a fact; all humans are free to act according to their rights by law, regardless of the opinions of society. undecided

See how you contradict and confuse yourself?

You said "Two conflicting matters cannot be true at the same time" only for you to say "both are wrong."

That is you affirming that two conflicting matters can be right.

I have always wondered why a course in Logic is not required at the elementary school level, and this here is one major reason why. How a grown individual cannot reason even the basic things... it disturbs my mind. undecided

. It should be dealt with in the same way non-married people cope with excessive demands for sex from their partners. The one with the problem learns to better handle their need rather than attempt to impose it on the other human. Most people know to adopt sexual discipline before and while dating. There is no reason why such sexual disciplines should be thrown out the door after marriage. If the partner feels he/she can find better outside of the marriage, then there is also divorce, which is a legal way out of marriage. undecided

It is never the responsibility of one partner to needlessly suffer to satisfy the other partner. undecided

absolutely correct✅

The demand is becoming much especially from men even in a relationship they feel entitled to the extent he won't allow any man come close to you

. Many of those men making those demands after marriage are merely looking to create an excuse— a sort of miserable alibi— to justify their desire to commit infidelity in marriage. 🥱🥱🥱

Nigerian society rarely frowns on men cheating on their wives, so even when with a woman they somehow desire, some men go out of their way to establish an excuse with which to justify their desire to commit infidelity. That is why a man who rarely bothered much about sex during the dating phase would suddenly present himself as some sort of sex fiend after marriage. More times than not, it is not because he suddenly desires his woman, but rather that he is ready to begin looking outside of the marriage for his pleasures. 🥱🥱
