[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im 57...dh is retired , i am not. He bugs me once a week..i am not interested..menopause killed my libido..i pray he looses his libido ..[/quote]

I don’t understand this.  Other than sex, everything else we do to show love to our partner is not hormonally driven, yet we do those things anyway, whether it be out of a sense of responsibility, a desire to make our partner happy, or a willingness to meet his/her needs.  I understand the impact menopause can have on desire, but I also assume you’re seldom if ever horny to make your husband breakfast but you still do it, right?  What if yiur DH said his hormones have changed and he can no longer listen to you talk about your day?  Bottom line, how difficult is it to take 5-10 minutes and give him a BJ or HJ, or assuming sex isn’t painful, to have intercourse?[/quote]b

This isn't a great analogy but if I go out onto the tennis court and the person on the other side of the net isn't into the game and just wants to get it over it's no fun for me. I may win the match but I haven't enjoyed myself. I want to play with someone who Is really into the game and can push it to three long sets and not a 6-0, 6-0 beating. [/quote]

PP you’re responding to and you’re exactly right, which is why I enthusiastically pleasure my husband, even thought my libido is essentially gone.  Similarly he enthusiastically gives me head/shoulder rubs and foot massages.  I wouldn’t be able to relax and enjoy it if he was actively complaining or if he was making it clear he didn’t want to be doing it.[/quote]
