[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]… doing so would not be overly burdensome on your economic situation and your kids are out of the house?

I can see reasons to stay together, like companionship, even better economics, family unity, etc., but we like to spend time differently and she constantly nags me to do stuff I don’t want to do. Basically, we have different life and social priorities. We’re both in our mid-50’s, and I’m unsure I want to live my golden years this way. If you’re wondering, we have sex about once a week or two.

In essence, the relationship is OK, but not stimulating or interesting and a bit annoying to me. I’m guessing a lot of relationships are like this, and I may be fantasizing about something that doesn’t really exist, but I’m curious to hear from others in a similar situation. [/quote]
I’m 51 and my spouse and I last had sex in 2017, so once or twice a week sounds good to me! But the other issues you describe sound problematic. It’s hard because at this age, we know that we are mortal and we are questioning how we want to spend the rest of our lives. My suggestion would to be open with your wife about what you’re feeling. She may feel the same. And then give it 6 months. Pour everything you can into the marriage. Go on dates with each other. Find a fun hobby or activity you can do together. Maybe do discernment counseling. See where you are in 6 months.[/quote]
