Did your sex life improve when you became empty nesters?

[Anonymous]

Or did that not really affect things?

No. The kids’ presence was an occasional excuse, never the issue.

I initiated divorce and my life improved a lot. My spouse made me feel bad all the time and we never had sex. After I left, I found out I was fun and attractive after all. I was still a good parent.

So yes, my sex life did improve, but not with my spouse.

Improve from what?
If you are in your late thirties/early forties and think that your sex life will be better in 10 years when the kids are out of the house, think again.
If you are asking if they improved from the year before, when I was already post-menopausal, then yes. We have more time now to experiment and there isn’t as much pressure. Plus we are both more aware that this isn’t going to last forever, and we both like this part of our life.

It improved when he stopped being deadweight around the house and with non-work life!

Did not affect things. H has low sex drive so kids not being around didn’t help

Aww, poor guy. He felt bad all the time about what a lousy husband he was, so he divorced and his sex life improved a lot. How fun! Lol. And he claims he’s a a good parent! Whatever that means.

I will be generous to you and give you the benefit of the doubt. I will assume that your ex husband was a bad husband and a bad father, and that he was the cause of your bitterness rather than the victim of it. Plenty of men actually were good husbands and fathers who were stuck in miserable marriages to women who were not good partners.
