Is sexual incompatibility enough of a reason to end a 15 year marriage? It seems like a lame reason, but she would prefer to do it once a month, while he has the urge once a day (but I'd settle for once or twice a week). Is there any hope for this couple?

"I've changed, now you need to change too."
The end of this month marks my 20th wedding anniversary. I think however it's time for me to initiate the dissolution of this marriage.
I have two children (boys, 10 and 12), and am concerned about the possible effects of this, at this time, on them.
Cue the snowflakes.

When I was 23, I got married. It was really great for six years, and then for a year and a bit, really pretty horrible. We worked hard at it, but it didn't. Now I'm 30 and we've been separated for 3 months. Definitely feels right that it's over, and in time we'll divorce. It feels too soon to start dating - problem is, I'm lonely and really missing sex.
