[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents took the step you want to and neither is happy now.  Mom pulled the trigger instead of going for counseling .  My sisters and I still can't figure out how you can be happy through close to 30 years of marriage (and they were-lots of physical affection) and not be able to find the energy to make it through a rough patch.  The travel plans they made went in the toilet, mom is very poor and neither landed on their feet romantically.  As adult children we are very resentful. We had a good family life growing up and now hate holiday meal negotiations over who is going to see who.  Our family no longer exists and I have never forgiven my mom for leaving for no good reason.  Don't do it. Your kids will hate you.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for sharing. And I realize this may sound selfish or immature, but as a DH close to 50, I am incredibly frustrated by the situation. MY DW doesn't want relations, and I think because it is for control and away to punish me. I understand what you are saying and suspect you are correct but I feel like my wife know I am stuck and can therefore treat me like shit. So I have to put up with a bad situation because of the kids. How is she going to treat me once they are out of the house ? I do not think it is going to be pretty.[/quote]

If she is close to your age (50) this might have something to do with her hormones - perimenopause/menopause?  [/quote]
