I've seen quite a few threads on here where the DH is hassling for sex all the time, sometimes just out of enthusiasm, sometimes as a controlling behaviour, either way the woman does not want this. I can see this isn't very nice at all, but what about partners who just never ever even notice you? I might as well go round with a bag over my head. I have tried flaunting myself in front of him, not a flicker. To be clear, I don't want him anymore anyway and have told him we will never have a physical relationship again and am going through the process of trying to find a way to break free. I told him this 2 years ago, but it's been ongoing for 10 years now. How unusual is it for a man to go through his 40s into his 50s and never try anything on with his wife, never watch porn, never masturbate, never have an erection and be content with a night lying on the sofa in front of the telly. Every night. I want to confront him on it, but feel like it's too hard a conversation to have. Ten years is a long time to go without sex as a woman, but is it more unusual for a man? I guess I'm looking for a justifiable reason for us to separate, when in his eyes things are 'ok'....

You’ve got a reason right there. Are you going to have another sex free ten years ?

There are loads of reasons why men might not want sex, we are all different, some men like lots of sex, some not so much, sounds like one of the not so much types.
It also sounds like you don’t really like each other very much any more, why would anyone like to have sex with someone they don’t like.
If you told him no more sex 2 years ago, he has certainly given up trying now, like you are both taking each other for granted

I’m 52 and not had sex for a few years now, and I’m not really sure I can be bothered any more, dating is too much like hard work
