Hello

I recently posted to r/relationships about my marriage (the original thread was deleted but I can repost it here if necessary). I got a few PMs telling me to come here. I've tried reading some of the links and advice but it seems it really applies to single men as I am not really in a position to start being unpleasant to my wife in order to improve my marriage.

Is this true? I can't link my previous thread because it was locked but I can possibly repost it if that is within the rules.

THank you

edit: My original thread

Hello. My wife and I got married last year after seven years together. I am starting to think I've made a terrible mistake because being married just isn't that much fun at all.

We've had sex three times since getting married, I've given up trying to initiate sex because she won't. Every time I do try there is a reason why it can't happen, and that reason is usually my fault: you've not showered, your penis smells, you will make me dirty, you didn't come to bed early enough. I try and rectify the so-called faults and still nothing, the moment has passed etc.

She found porn on my computer and freaked out, deleted everything and told me the things I was looking at were disgusting and perverted (I think mainly the names of the porn studios, think words like 'legal' and '18' although it all came from KAT). So now I am having to secretly masturbate and cover my tracks but am still not permitted to have sex.

I've found myself looking up ex-girlfriends and crushes on social media, I've consider talking to them but I don't want to be the cheating married guy.

Other than sex our relationship is okay, just really boring. We don't have many shared interests, she likes watching TV and I like playing games, so after work we eat together and then usually go and do the things we like. Occasionally I go and visit my friends in different cities but she complains a lot when I do, saying I don't spend any time with her or coming up with lists of chores that have to be completed on the particular weekend I've said I'm going somewhere. Usually I get annoyed and just go anyway but I've had to cancel events because a task or job has come up at the last minute that absolutely must be completed or X will happen to our house.

tl;dr: Marriage is not fun at all and I think I've made a terrible mistake
