[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a parenting marriage. Sexless for 4 years, and little affection since first kid was born 14 years ago. Strange part was we had a passionate marriage before kids. I am sure there is blame all around. It isn't ever going to reignite. Intimacy is weird. Don't be like us.

Anyway, it can work and it does, except its super awkward when kids aren't around. And now that they are 13 and 15, they aren't around as much.

Also, while I was generally fine with the Don't Ask Don't tell when I was in my late 30s and early 40s, and traveling for work and in what is probably a man's prime where women would approach me, I am less so now that I am late 40s. I really miss the companionship and it's a huge effort to be out the chasing women and doing it discretely. I want to go away for a romantic weekend and not be sneaky about it.

Point being, it's hard to see staying this way once the kids leave. But who knows, I will be late 50s by then and maybe I won't care about sex?[/quote]

Thank you for sharing! This is helpful.[/quote]
