Hi All, I would like some advice on the following. DW and I have been married for 23 years with late teen children. For the last three years we have not been intimate in anyway and this started at the commencement of DWs menopause. Obviously this has led to some issues and we are now at a stage where we don’t even kiss or cuddle - I am sure partly due to the fact that she doesn’t want to give any signals of leading me on. Essentially we have a relationship of co-parents. My wife is on HRT and has changed the prescription of this and also seen the doctor on this matter.
My wife does not like to discuss the menopause to any extent as I think she feels embarrassed, however she has said that she ‘doesn’t feel it anymore’ and ‘has nothing left to give’ due to tiredness. Have any women gone through something similar and did your libido return, or is this the end of our sex life?
Before anyone flames me, this is genuine question and not wholly self-cantered as I think sex is one part of a marriage. Also as I have seen this raised before we both pull our weight equally in relation to house and finance matters. Also I am sure that DW is not seeing anyone else and there is no history of infidelity in our marriage from either side. We treat one another well in all other aspects of our life.
