DH and I have been having problems. Long story but all of the spark has gone.
Anyway, as part of a wider discussion, he was talking a lot about how men are pre-programmed to go for younger women and that as women get old we have to be attractive in other ways etc. etc. That women of 40 or 45 can't typically compete with younger ones of say 25 and if it were on physical appearance alone, men would go for younger(other than a few exceptions - I suppose e.g. demi moore)
On and on. He said stuff like and that's why women BBC presenters get dropped at 50 and so many older men have younger wives and it's all a biological imperative as men traditionally are still be fertile but women aren't.
He reckons most middle aged men don't think about their wives whilst having sex with them and are really thinking about someone else.
He says he thinks it's important to tell the truth and lots of people must be going through the motions when they don't really fancy each other.
I can sort of (very sadly) see his point but it is so horrid to think this is true and I'm destined to have had it shortly.
I am exhausted and so sad he thinks like this.
Opinions please!
