Sexless last three years. Went from 2x a month, then once a month and now, gone
Horrible, it destroys your sense of self and any desire to grow old together.

I deal with it by taking care of myself and doing the math on how I can afford to leave and not totally disrupt my kids future

Those 5-10 years when my spouse lost interest in sex. I waited until the last kid graduated from HS and then I moved on. We're friends though, he was good at that.

Married 31. 1st year of empty nest was really hard to find ways to reconnect. Also my “mom role” changes drastically.

What’s the hardest thing you’ve dealt with in your marriage?
Were you able to deal with it, and if so how?
