[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sex for sure.  It's dwindled down to about every other month and only if I push for it.  42 years old.  It used to be a source of tension but I have stopped initiating and now we just don't do it.

I am not resentful towards her anymore over lack of sex.  More like indifference now.  We coparent well so maybe this can work until the kids leave the house.  She talks about retirement plans still which seems odd to me that she thinks this is normal and how couples grow old together.[/quote]

I'm in a similar boat as we are both in our late 50's and I'm soon to retire and our children are out of the house and doing well on their own. We haven't had sex in five years and my wife has been very honest that that part of her life is behind her but she is really looking forward to all the fun things we can do in retirement given we have a very nice nest egg. I've given up arguing with her about the lack of a love life and any affection and I'm convinced she doesn't see that it is a big issue. I would have filed a couple of years ago but decided to wait until I retire and when I do it will be a big surprise to her. She is a nice person but I'd like someone who is more than a roommate.

Why do you want the divorce to be a surprise to someone you’ve been married to for decades?  If you know now you will divorce her, why not communicate with her and give her a chance to work towards a solution unless you just want a divorce.  [/quote]

This. You sound cruel.[/quote]
DH: Honey, you know how you've been rejecting me for sex past 5 years? Well this does not work for me and I intend to divorce you.
DW: Gee [u]I did not know you want sex[/u]! But now that you've communicated, I am suddenly feeling horny so shut up and f%@k me.[/quote]

That's pretty much how it went when I told DW[/quote]
