[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 10 years we were still ok, still occasionally having decent date nights and sex 2x a month. At 15 years, as she hit late 40s, it's irritable, distant sexless roommates and I crave being with another woman.

I think you are doing better than most, OP

It makes a lot of sense not to want sex when one is beyond childbearing age if you think about it. Unsure why people feel weird about saying this out loud. Some women in their 40s still like sex still, but never think about it when not having it (with DH). Their body is not telling them to reproduce anymore.

Hence,  sexless or near sexless marriage is so common .[/quote]

NP here and I agree with you, it's usually man disappointed woman, woman loses desire, man gets lonely and cheats. I guess he's to blame but it takes two to make a sexless marriage

This is why men start to have affairs around this time with younger women. People call it a midlife crisis, but it is really just biology.[/quote]
The Bio folks here seem to forget the confounding factor of DWs being sick to death by this time of doing pretty much everything and often working as well, and have little interest in sex with the person who is not contributing. And yes I am talking about my own relationship specifically, but you don't have to look any further than the many posts on this forum.[/quote][/quote]
