How to know if my slob husband has caused my sex drive to disappear for good

I posted earlier about how my slobby husbands complete lack of personal hygiene has caused me to be revolted by him.
We haven't had sex for over a year and it is really awful when we do it. I think I've just switched off the sexual part of life.
I am making plans to seperate and feel happy that I've finally made this decision.
I've been thinking about moving on, I feel starved of affection . I'm only 45 and I'm wondering if my sex drive has vanished for good!
Thank you for your thoughts .

I wouldn't have sex with a slob.
In fact I couldn't live with one.
So yes..move on.

Nope! You just need the right man to reignite it. Same happened to me, almost exactly the same age. Met someone new - sex drive came back like a runaway locomotive! Grin

Its the man that's the problem, not the sex drive!

If you don't feed something, it generally does eventually die. But I suspect that after you've separated and have healed and are ready to move on, the land will flower again quite easily.

45 !!!! OMG. I am also 45 and I cannot imagine a life without passionate sex! You do need to get out of this ......and sharpish.

I'd be astonished if your sex drive has gone for good. He has caused you to lock it away because the only current option for sex is doing it with him. Yuck. It'll come back when there are better options.

If you are seriously worried, watch a movie with your hot male actor of choice in it and see if your mind goes anywhere...

Nah it will be back !! I honestly thought I'd lost mine for good with my exh - nope nope and really nope it was back with a vengeance soon after splitting!! You'll be fine Smile
