"We Haven't Had Sex in Years"
With more frequent and intense arguments occurring every day, they knew they couldn't continue like this for much longer. Their non-existent sex life and inability to communicate with one another has led to endless fights, and begs the million-dollar question: Will Jim ever get laid?
Melissa: I've tried to explain to Jim just how overwhelmed I feel, but he doesn't get it. About a month ago, I told him point-blank that I'm just not interested in sex while I'm under all this pressure. Is that so horrible?
Jim: I want the old Melissa back. It's not just the sex. I miss the way we used to do stuff together, like just watch Comedy Central and crack up laughing. I think about the good years and I can't believe we've ended up like this.
Melissa: He comes from work, tosses his stuff on a chair, and goes for a run. He never cleans up after himself! One time we got so mad at each other that we started throwing lamps and dishes, and Jim kicked the wall and broke his toe.
Jim: She yells at me all the time for things I do wrong. Ranting about leaving my clothes on the chair instead of hanging them up. It's ridiculous! She just wouldn't let up about it. The fight got so heated that I kicked the wall and broke my toe! She won't have sex with me, she's constantly picking fights with me, what have I done wrong?"
Melissa: "I do love my husband -- he's a great guy and a good father and until this sex issue became so huge, we got along. But I really want him to stop pressuring me."
Will this be the end for Jim and Melissa? Can Jim cool off and still keep his sanity? Will Melissa ever be able to have sex again? Can this marriage be saved?
