[quote=Anonymous]OP, what you're describing doesn't seem like perimenopause, it sounds like you need a therapist. I'm only saying that because you experienced a dip in desire after your baby was born and never recovered. You probably had undiagnosed post partum depression and never got out of that rut. To answer your other question directly, I don't think it is normal to be repulsed by intimacy with the conditions you describe unless you are unhappy with him too. When my kids were small and I was pretending to myself that I still loved my ex, it was ok, but as they became older and less dependent, I found myself thinking that I'd rather put my hand in a blender than have sex with him. It was that lack of desire that made me take a hard look at whether I really loved him anymore or if we were just partners in the company we called our family. After we divorced and I had some therapy, I started dating again and found that I really really like sex after all. [/quote]
