Ok... I need to take some deep breaths here.

So I've been married for 15 years and have a wonderful 11 year old daughter yet i'm seriously thinking of leaving my wife to start another life. I'm posting on Redpill because I want a man's opinion and women posters in the relationship section will tear me to shreds after reading what I have below.

My wife is so smart, beautiful, well mannered, well educated, has a great job and is a fantastic mother to our daughter. conversely I feel she is not the best wife namely she is short tempered, her communication style is tantamount to barking at me and sex for the 14 years has left me wanting.

She (46):

  1. Her parents have a bad relationship they bark at each other instead of speaking and she has adopted that as her preferred method of communication with me. Her communication style tries to box me into being a beta and I was....
  2. Her father offered retail credit and had a dentist who owed him money, they bartered dentist services in exchange for the debt and procedure to extract teeth from my wife when she was young completely screwing up her mouth. This resulted in what she perceives is a bad smile so she doesn't smile and also therefore rarely laughs.
  3. When she was 4 her uncle raped or fondled her in her bedroom while her parents were outside on their balcony she could hear them speaking, she didn't; understand why her father didn't protect her. She waited until our 15th year of marriage to reveal this event to me notwithstanding 14 years of my complaints about our less than acceptable intimate life.

Me (48):

  1. My relationship with my father was problematic from the start and still is, he is an irrational twat. I detest his style of communication and vowed to never be like him.
  2. My first girlfriend to whom I lost my virginity to cheated on me horribly and that scared my sense of security and trust in women. This resulted in significant insecurity associated with fidelity which can be oppressive, though this character flaw does not come out with my wife for some reason.
  3. While I have been always quite very active sexually as of late I have become more-so and have grown frustrated with our once a week Sunday morning missionary romp.

So both my wife and I are raised in very traditional latin traditions with all the baggage of family, sex and relationship. My wife and I have had our share of problems like all relationships, good and bad but overall things have not always been horrible which makes my decision that much more difficult, but the most marked events were her revelations of her molestation and the fact that I have changed particularly my level of taste for dominance and propensity for sexual exploration.

About 12 months ago I proclaimed to my wife that after "14 years of bad sex and you barking at me I've had enough" that night she confided in me about her molestation and the preferred method of communication that her parents had adopted. The moment she revealed her molestation I clearly remember and I felt a shock through my spine of betrayal and I knew that for me it was over, why had she not revealed this to be before?From when I spoke the truth with my wife and she revealed her long buried secret I immediately started dating other girls for sex and companionship, my thinking was it was just sex to supplement the little I get from my wife and I am convinced she was aware of my dating on the side but saw that it may serve a purpose.

My profession requires me to travel frequently and I took advantage of that to date girls, maybe 10 of them over this period. One girl I have seen more frequently and we have started down a path of sexual exploration, BDSM, MFM, FMFM and more. This experience has significantly altered the makeup of my desire for sex wanting kinkier coital relations, something my wife has clearly stated she is not interested in. I have also learned most enjoyable sex is when I am completely dominating my partner physically and verbally (dom/sub) which is something that clashes violently with my wife's experience as a child. Dating outside of my marriage has completely turned me into an Alpha further raising the level of incompatibility my wifes typical communication style is with me.

In summary I feel betrayed by my wife for not sharing her horrible past as a child with me as it was clearly causing us problems, seeing other girls on the side has altered me and how I want to be intimate with someone in a way that is incompatible with my wife's preferences and transformed me into an alpha piling on disdain for how she speaks with me. Apart from that everybody is just fucking dandy.

My biggest concern is our daughter, I don't want to hurt her or derail her progression socially or academically she loves us both and likely has no idea I might be leaving though I am convinced my wife knows something is up. As a couple we rarely yell or scream at each other so my daughter is more than likely blissfully unaware. At the end of the day my marriage isn't horrible but there is a malaise that is soaking deep into it now and I don't know I want to continue with it.
