[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used to have a great sex life. We had a sleep position where I was on my stomach, she was on her back, my left arm was around her and we held each other’s right hands over our heads. It was so comforting. But my health started to fail me. When DS was born, we hoped that my parental leave would cure me, but it didn’t. Our sex life ended. [b]Our son is ten and still cosleeps. He slept in his own room for a while but then moved back into ours.[/b]  It works great for us. One big happy family. I used to be extremely social and organize balls and galas. I used to speak at conventions. I haven’t in many years because my health isn’t what it used to be. I’ve lost much of what used to make me attractive to DW. That bothered me a lot for a while. But at this point, I’m not sure that I want to go back to the way it was. I’m used to the way it is now. It would feel weird to start acting like we did 20 years ago. [/quote]

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Cosleeping beyond the age of 2 or 3 simply is not developmentally appropriate. I find it hard to believe a 10yo boy even [i]wants [/i]to sleep with mom and dad. Not to mention, he's probably 5' tall now and it's like having another adult in the bed.

[b]You are teaching your son that an effectively sexless marriage is proper and normal.[/b] Take pity on his future wife and put him back in his own room. Then take charge of your own situation; become attractive to your DW again and restart your moribund sex life.[/quote]

LOL It is a good point, but truth be told most marriages end up effectively sexless after a period of time. Like it, hate it, it is what it is. [/quote]

Pp at again. That is a good point. Most of the couples that I know who have been together as long as we have have little if any sex. My wife signed us both up for Tinder. I know that sounds weird but she wants the old me back again, when I was a man about town here and in NYC. My wife and I usually have a good relationship in raising our son, with an occasional hiccup. I’m just not that motivated to get our old sex life back. For one thing, we were very athletic while making love. I think I’d have a heart attack or break something if we tried that now. [/quote]
