Cheating?

Love requires sacrifice. That means sacrificing some feelings you have for the greater good of your relationship. You may have the urge to masturbate but you should realize your sexual energy should be reserved for your wife. Your wife is not someone to use to release sexual feelings. Sexual feelings are not meant to be released whenever especially through masturbation.

It isn’t cheating, for sure. In the past when I’ve been in a similar situation (though weeks and months without, not days) my wife has actually told me to masturbate. Her sex drive much lower than mine, and she’d rather I masturbated than bugged her. But, that led me to porn and that led me here. Masturbating isn’t cheating, and it can be healthy for your relationship, just be careful where it leads you. Ideally, don’t use porn for it - and avoid social media etc.

You didn’t cheat on her, since masturbating isn’t involved anybody but yourself. So I just wanna let you know about that, that you didn’t commit cheating at all! However, whether she wanted to have sex with you or not is up to how ready she feels and to her own decision that only SHE is responsible for. Hence you are not responsible for her decision if she doesn’t feel like wanting to have sex with you. So you can only be able to control how you react and respond. ☺️❤️
