Is there anybody out there that's been in a marriage for over 15 years and been faithfull and now that a spouse is sick, been lacking sex for over five years. What would you do? I'm still young and want to live a good life.

Remember your vows. There is a reason the vows include "for better or for worse and in sickness and in health and for richer or for poorer". In real life those things happen. The vows have no exception clauses.
Would you consider yourself valuable enough for your spouse to hold true to the vows?
Why are you now considering your spouse not valuable enough?
The old phony good life you are now trying to convince yourself that you want will bring you frustration, hurt, and fear.
AND then double that for your spouse and family.

My parents have been married for 46 years this July. They have been faithful ever since they were married. My dad would never think of going out with other women. There was one time that my dad had a stroke and couldn't have sex for a while, not 5 years but their marriage is not based on sex. Their marriage is based on love and on God. They can put up with anything with the Lord. The Lord is the head of their marriage.
Base your marriage on God, and you will live a good life.

You made vows to your spouse, including "in sickness and in health". You don't need sex for a good life. Your vows before God and the commitment you made to your mate are more important than your sexual gratification. See a counselor. Better yet, read the Bible and pray. The Bible takes a very clear stand on adultery.

I have. However, I can understand the frustration of a woman whose husband can no longer engage in sexual relations. It'd be time for a very thorough evaluation of yourself and your reactions. Have you and he tried other means of fulfilling your physical needs? There are techniques and there are "assistive devices" that can be applied. But if you're one of those who feels she absolutely can't do without a guy who's "fully capable", you may need to talk about terminating the marriage. One would hope you're not that shallow and selfish as to abandon one who's given you the best years of his life, but you do what you've got to do.

Have been married over 20yrs and we are still
faithful to each other. There are many things that
make one un-faithful as sex is just one of them;
so be strong and tend to your mate and you will
be rewarded down here as well as up there and
who could ask for anything else.

Give up sex. It's not everything. If it's because of sex, you'll be hopping from one man to the next.

Go get some strange. 5 years is too long to go without it. Hire a professional so you don't fall in love with somebody else.
