I assume arsed means bothered.

I've noticed there's something about you and the relationship episodes. Interesting...

You may be onto something...

That was crazy. I don't really get how you could date, let alone marry, someone who just straight up isn't into sex. Did Josh feel, at that point in his life anyway, that sex just wasn't that important? His story would make more sense if his wife started to systematically shut him down in like the first year of their marriage, but when he said 4-5 times total my jaw hit the floor.

Also, I thought it would be funny if in a couple years we hear about how Latta's ex found some new guy that she's super in to, and now is just a crazy sexual animal.

i think his case was pretty harsh, but a lot of people get stuck in horrible marriages cause divorces are expensive and torturous. thats why i think marriage is insane, unless youre a delusional traditionalist.

(which means that if i ever am with someone who wants to do it, i will)

If I were Josh, I would lead off every conversation about my marriage with that statistic. He looks a lot better given that the years of marriage/times in sack ratio was so lopsided.

The guy's marriage before his divorce sounds like my marriage, except I have kids involved. I met my wife when she already had a kid, married her when she got pregnant with my firstborn. Yes, I know, my fault. I was young. I feel like I'm in that position now. I'm comfortable, but unhappy. I'm not attracted to her anymore, I'm tired of step-parenting and I regret not having my firstborn with a woman with no kids. Sometimes I feel like because my step-son is older, we're kind of rushing my daughter to grow up. So we fight over things like that. Long story short, I want out, but everytime I try to get out she convinces me to stay. I also am not that social of a person, I'd rather spend the night on the Xbox or learning programming on my laptop than watch TV with her. I guess I'm screwed.

Yep. Nothing you can do.

Yee... listening to this made me really insecure. How do you know you are in one of these realtionships before it's too late?!

I mean.... doesn't everyone have problems? Not everyone have things in common with each other...
