[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you talk to him directly about these issues, what does he say?[/quote] I’ve been very direct about how sad I am that our relationship has morphed into such a bad state. I’ve said that I’ve noticed he hasn’t touched me in months and that it hurts, and that I’d like to know why. His response is that he’s under a lot of stress and this is how he handles stress. Since we’ve known each other for decades, I know that’s not true. Honestly, he used to manage his stress with sex. That was the release that seemed to recharge his mental outlook. [/quote] I think it's sort of a mid-life crisis. The phrase "grumpy old men" didn't develop in a vacuum. How does he feel about his career success, especially in relation to others at his work or in his peer group. If the stress you've been under (for years? now) is undermining his sense of self-worth then a lot of this makes sense.[/quote]
