[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are separating after 30 years.  Objectively he is not attractive.  But he is to me.  He's 50, a large over the pants belly, and balding.  I still love the man that he is.

Yesterday I was at a kids party and I looked around the room at the dads.  There was not one person in the room that I thought was remotely attractive.  I know I'm still in the early stages and in no way ready to date, but how long did it take for you to be attracted to someone else?[/quote]
How old are you OP? If you are close to 50 you be beginning menopause and you will have no attraction. [/quote]

I'm 48.  And yes, I'm peri meno.  I actually got my period last month for the first time in 6 months.  I was sad-- so close to being done and now the clock resets :(.  So menopause also affects attraction?  [/quote]
I have friends in perimenopause who are still attracted to men, so I wouldn't worry about that.
I wouldn't try to force it either. Did you find men attractive before you were married? It stands to reason you will again, try not to pressure yourself during this difficult time. [/quote]

I was 18 when I met DH.  Boys were cute.  But an 18-20 yr old boy is a different attraction than a 50 year old man.[/quote]
