I realize that there is a difference between affection and intimacy. We are very affectionate: hold hands, have date night at least 7 or 8 times a month, kiss hello and goodbye everytime we enter or leave and talk for hours upon hours about everything and nothing at all. We share the housework, maybe I do more than most men but that's because I grew up watching my mother do everything because my dad was to busy working to help her and I never wanted my wife to have to do that. Our marriage is... in my opinion, perfect, except for the fact that she has no interest in sex. People have mentioned cheating...she is an open book, not only do we spend every minute together, she doesn't hide anything (facebook, cell phone etc.) from me. My enitial quetion was, how long is too long?
