Wow, this is from a woman? I wish my wife wanted sex. But maybe she thinks I don't want it any more since I stopped asking. Anyway, not normal

Agree. Also it’s super dismissive of the woman’s experience. PLUS direct stimulation and orgasm help with symptoms of perimenopause and prevent atrophy in menopause. My solo game is good, but it’s so much nicer with a connected partner. And if PIV isn’t possible there are so many more partnered options.

I was in a similar situation and it turned out that he was an alcoholic. The drinking was interfering with his ability to perform.

No, I won't tell you that and I don't think I've ever rejected my husband!
Perhaps you’re in the latter category but there’s a difference between “not rejected” and “desiring” and men can tell.
Stop. She’s already said that’s not the dynamic.

My husband has had no desire these years in his mid-40's. This girl needs what she needs so I see other people with NSA relationships. I am happy with the NSA yummies and with DH in other areas of my life. He would be devastated if he found out but him working nights has its advantages.

I’ve been asking my husband to do this for years. We’ve been largely sexless (his choice) for 7 years. He’s promised me a doc appointment for about half of that but has yet to go.
Mine went but he did not want the treatment for it. I also did not want to have sex with him…I only stayed as long as I did due to a pregnancy accident.

Because it happens. And we finally are able to get some traction on a conversation about it rather than people saying it’s not happening….or blaming the woman somehow.
