I’m nearly 38….my sex drive has taken a complete nose dive! My husband bought me one of the Nancy lemons (sexy toy) for Christmas and I haven’t had the urge to use it once.

I'm asking myself-

Is it anything to do with perimenopause?

Is my husband just annoying me so much I cant be bothered? ( I love him to bits but Frick me it’s like having a second child in the house)

I’m practically a house wife now, I do have my own company but had to lesson my hours due to husbands demanding job.
I run the house, the dogs, our DD…..

Maybe I’m bored… but this is what married life is right?

Hard to say, are you actually in perimenopause? To be honest, I imagine it's more down to the fact that there is nothing less attractive than a useless manchild who does bugger all and then moans about lack of sex. If that's what married life is like (I did try marriage once) then I'm so glad I'm single, at least I don't end up seething with resentment doing everything on my own.

Not so much as menopause, more like Husband-Pause!

I don’t think I’m perimenopause I’m just wondering if it’s signs or not. But I do love your comment…. 🤣

Would it be possible to have a weekend away with DH? Mundane routine can be a massive passion killer, and being somewhere new just the two of you can reignite spark and be fun. If possible financially and practically get something booked in soon.
