We had fallen into the same rut and then one day my golf loving DH said something about his bucket list including playing many of the top 100 golf courses and then he joked about there must be a list of top 100 sex positions. I laughed and said that could be fun which really got his attention and it turns out there are lists. TBH, many looked physically impossible or simply "not me" but many of them have been great. It definitely increased our frequency and my DH loves it when I do the suggesting because I really get into it.

Haven't received even an impromptu bj in over 10 years. Asking for a bj once every 6 months will prompt an eyeroll.
I consider leaving all the time, but it breaks my heart the thought of putting my children in a broken home. We are good parents, she is just not attracted to me.
No sex drive for you. If you split up, she will find it again.
That was helpful.
Different poster. While you are being sarcastic, and you may not like to hear this, but in fact what the PP says is 100% true and is therefore helpful. Men should not take this personally. If your wife is not interested (in you) just go find it elsewhere! Your neighbor's wife is not interested in her DH either, and you can be the new/exciting guy who helps "find" her sex drive.

Perfect ratio
Maybe flip those? Although, I'm in the same boat. 2x/week with DH, 2-4x/month with AP.
Aspie DH: I think the last time was 4 years ago.
Amazing AP: 1-2x/week, world class sex every time.
Genuine question, why do you have an AP if you're having regular sex with your spouse?
Please work on your reading comprehension. She said she hasn't had sex with her husband in FOUR YEARS.
DP: I think the question was actually meant for the two people she quoted.

It has tapered down over 30 years. For the first 5 years, 4 to 7 times a week. For the next 10, two to three times weekly. For the next 10, weekly or so. Post meonpause it is a few times a year. Health issues on both sides.

Do not leave your family, you owe it to your kids to be there if you can. Have an affair, it's justified. Seriously, you will feel better about yourself

My gyn says use it or lose it when it comes to sex during menopause for women. I'm not there yet, but I told my DH he needs we need more sex so that doesn't happen.
1-2x per week for us. And we are in our early 50s.

The woman in menopause would probably have sex with a 26M.
No most women’s sex drive is gone after menopause. It would not even cross their mind to have sex with a 26m. So thing to look forward to...
Sure. Women don't want have sex with their husbands when they're post-partum, when they're breastfeeding babies, when they're menopausal. Okay. You're wife isn't attracted to you anymore, if she ever was. That doesn't mean she doesn't want to have sex.
