I’m 40 and DH is 50. We’ve not had much intimacy for months, last slept together 10 months ago!
He doesn’t go anywhere and doesn’t see much of his friends any more as he says he’s too old to bother with busy pubs.
He prefers to stay home, watching TV. He’d rather get a takeaway than eat out too as he says he feels more comfortable.
He’s had some family upset and isn’t happy at work and I’ve encouraged him to speak to a counsellor but he said he’s fine and doesn’t need to. I try and talk to him about things and he just repeats he’s fine. I mention about our lack of intimacy and he comes up with an excuse: tired, headache…
I’ve got to the stage now, where I’m getting really frustrated as I want a physical relationship but there is absolutely no go in him at all.
He ex wife cheated on him and it made me wonder if she’d got to the point where she seemed intimacy and the need to be desired.
I wouldn’t cheat on him but I’m wondering whether I can be in a sexless marriage.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and can advise me on what to do?
