Are you f***ing serious?
At this point its just salt in the wound and I haven't felt this way since I saw that case where the guy was ordered by family court to pay for a brat that wasn't his and then jailed when he refused.

Thank you for providing the link! Sexless relationships are soon parted. As reported by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, “My psychiatrist said my wife and I should have sex every night. Now, we'll never see each other!�. Such was the suit for a French couple in a sexless marriage, reports The Telegraph, but there's an additional catch. A judge in the French city of Aix-en-Provence determined that the male had to repay his ex $14,000 for insufficient sex over their 21-year marriage. Now, what's the relevance of sex in marriage? In my opinion, sex is a huge part of a healthy relationship. It helps maintain closeness and intimacy, but marriage should not be all about sex. The real measure of a happy marriage is the passion of both partners. That is indeed priceless!
