I am 49 and maybe in the middle of a mid life crisis, or maybe I'm not.. who knows? Maybe it doesn't matter.
He is a great man, kind, dependable, a great dad to our teenage children.. but there is no sex ..we haven't had any for 8 years .and no affection or intimacy. No cuddling , kissing etc
He is also very introverted and we don't have any joint friends or do stuff with other couples. I feel lonely and like I'm just living a separate life anyway so what's the difference? I have my own friends but it's hard. I want to do normal social things like other couples do and it will never happen with my husband.
I want/need more people in my life, I need intimacy and, yes, I need sex. I can't live the rest of my life like this.
I could wait 4 years until the children leave home, or I could get out now and build a life and maybe have other relationships. Or maybe just be alone the rest of my life. I feel like I am now anyway.
