[quote=Anonymous]My husband of many years does not like sex. I love sex. We have elementary school age kids and parenting is very stressful, but his lack of a sexual appetite pre-dates our children. I have not had sex in more than a year, maybe almost two, I stopped tracking it, it was too depressing. He never initiates it, I feel unwanted and rejected. It is a terribly sad feeling. He has low testosterone levels but does not seek medical assistance to help increase them. I have lost count of how many times I have opened up to him how much this hurts me and our marriage. I believe I initiated probably 90% of all our sexual interactions when we had them. The same way I am the one to plans date nights (they are very rare), vacations, kids lives, etc. He is sympathetic when we talk about this, but NOTHING changes. He tells me he loves me and loves our life and our family. I crave sex, I feel that I am still too young (mid 40s) and full of life to accept that my sexual life is just want I can help myself with. I am sad and lost. He is a good father, a good guy, and we have a good life (minus this major crack that the lack of intimacy brings into my life). I feel lonely, I know he has been depressed lately due to his aging parents issues, and I don’t know what to do to turn things around. I am tired and feel defeated. I am embarrassed to admit that I feel good when men look at me, observe me, I feel like my husband does not see me at all. It is a terrible feeling, and a very sad one, because I have loved him fiercely for all these years, and now I am questioning that I feel for him, and I have no intention of breaking up our family.
