[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's affection but not much sex in my marriage. Pre-pandemic we were down to probably once every 4-6 weeks. During the pandemic it's been once every 10 weeks or so.

This caused me a fair amount of distress for a few years. But I've more or less made my peace with it. My libido has been declining as I approach 50, I use porn a lot, and I've learned not to take her disinterest in sex as a reflection on my worth as a person.

The sex issue aside, we get along very well, joke a lot, have good kids, respect the hell out of each other, and all that good stuff. Just very limited sex. [/quote]

This is basically my marriage.  You think you will be faithful?  I can't imagine "this is it" for me at age 47.  The marriage is good but I am pretty sure I will cheat when the opportunity comes along.[/quote]

Different poster but two things happened in my marriage. First, my libido declined when I entered my 50s and we were able to meet in the middle, usually with scheduled sex that wasn't explicitly on the calendar but more likely a comment or two from my wife along the lines of "the klds will be away this Saturday night so we should enjoy the evening we have to ourselves." If she says that on a Tuesday I have it to look forward to all week and she's been good about follow through.

Just as importantly, I've let go of the resentment for the "lost years" when I was feeling at my peak and all the sex we didn't have. It truly doesn't matter any more and I don't look back.
