unhappily Celibate

I have remained unhappily Celibate,
For the better part of two decades.

To be a happily married,
Celibate, heterosexual male,
is a mixed bag.

My brother has been unhappily, 
non-celibate, heterosexual male,
for even longer then that.

He has burned through four marriages,
and at least twice that many relationship,
in his non-celibacy.

His second wife reminded me,
of a cross between Morticia Adams,
and a hooker.

Why I have remained Celibate,
I am uncertain?

My last experience of un-celibacy,
was not a good experience,
for my partner,
so I remain un-happily Celibate.

Our first experience of un-celibacy,
bonded us, like two ducks, or swan's,
in an Eternal embrace.

There is enough in my relationship,
with my partner, that I value it
above all other relationships,
even if I must remain,
unhappily Celibate.
