Hello Doctor,

Yes, I was having sexual attraction towards other girls during my first marriage. During my college time, I was attracted towards other girls and used to masturbate and which still continues.
My interpersonal relationship with my first wife was not OK. She was a little loose tempered which had negative effect in our interpersonal relationship. She was not adjusting to my family values. Her behavior was not good towards my parents and me which is another factor for our divorce.
I did not have any sexual relationship in the past with any girl.
Yes I do masturbate everyday once. Yes I do have a good erection during masturbation.

Also I need to know whether their will be any positive or negative repercussions in my second marriage as my first marriage lasted for almost five and half years.
Thanks again.
Regards
XXXXX

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for further information.

From your above information following things are clear:
-You have sexual orientation towards female.
-Intact libido and erection, which is apparent in your regular masturbation.
-Primary reason for poor sexual life in your first marriage appear to interpersonal conflict. As for good physical intimacy emotional attachment is necessary for couple.

In your second marriage it is advisable to avoid any conflict. If some issues happen try to solve them early without delay. I think rest of the thing will go fine in your case.

You are always welcome if some problem happen after marriage.

Wish you good health.
Regards

Thanks for the feedback that I do not have biological problem.

I now want to check the behavior side of the relationship between me and my future wife.
I was a caring person but could not develop a healthy emotional relationship between me and my ex wife.
Family Scenario: She (my ex wife) could not adjust to my family and me. Although I used to spend time with her after office hrs, but I feel there was some communication lag between me and her which had negative impact on our relationship.
We did not have any sex life after our marriage.We tried having sex, but there was no emotional compatibility between both of us.

There was very little emotional bonding between us due to lack of understanding and communication. She used to sleep till 10: 00 am in the morning. When I used to go to go to office, she was still sleeping in her room. Is this behavior acceptable in a married life?
She always used to spend time with her family members and when I was in office, she used to stay alone in our room not interacting with my family members or even guests.

I could not understand her behavior pattern and thinking process.
What is the best way to resolve these matters in the next phase of life. Is their any way to speak to the new girl regarding these matters before we get married or come in a relationship.

Are these behaviors common in today's world subject to couples enjoying a nuclear family.

Brief Answer:
You can discus your concern with future wife.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for follow up.

According to your information, your first wife was having poor adjustment with you and with your family. She used to prefer remain alone and sleep more. Your ex wife personality assessment will be helpful to understand her behavior and thinking pattern, which is difficult now after separation.

In her case excessive sleep may be due to:
-Poor sleep in night.
-Side effect of some medicine (if taking). Many time person take medicines without informing spouse.
-Psychological problem, need evaluation of person.
-Thyroid problem.

Yes, in my view, you can discus your concern with your future wife. You can ask her usual routine, sleep pattern, behavior with friends/family members and adjustment in office (for working lady). You can also seek personality assessment for both of you from nearby psychologist to understand each other better.

Please accept my answer in case there are no further queries and recommend our services to your friends too if you have found it helpful.

Wish you good health.
Regards
