fauxcroft

His love for her was without question

he gave her everything he could,

he worked hard and paid the bills

did everything a good man should

but there was one aspect in his life

the was too substandard for his wife

and that was in the sexual life,

where he fail to satisfy her needs

where finding arousal hard indeed, #(or not hard being the case)

low libido affect him

could barely muster anything,

it was not as if he did not want too,

not like she did nothing for him,

it was physical, medical, psychological,

all wrapped up in to one.

So her let her take another man

rather than deprive of of any fun,

now others may ridicule him

call him feeble, call him weak

but it takes real strength to make such a sacrifice,

without being eaten alive with jealousy.

Yet he managed to overcome this flaw,

not because he did not care,

in fact it made him love her more,

for every time she returned

and that, he decided was a sign,

that she preferred him the best

even given the lack of sex,

and she confirmed this when she said,

‘I love that you made such a huge sacrifice

doing by me what you think is right

and though I may go with other men,

it’s just physical act in the end,

where what we have, is so much more’.

See living a life of selflessness and sacrifices

has it’s own rewards

and though people do not understand and call him strange,

that talking through the details of her nights,

asking to her share the knowledge of his sacrifice,

is not so strange and yes makes him happy

knowing all about the fruits of her delight

and so celibate he maybe,

it does not stop him and his wife being happy

and though others may judge,

they do not care, their love was big and strong enough to share.
