waning sex life here. Complicated lives.
10 year old sleeps in our bed as he’s not happy alone. We have tried everything and exhausted all options - sleeping with his siblings, sleeping on our floor on inflatable etc. Sleeping beside him. We have now ordered a large bed for his room
and we will move there once it arrives but it’s weeks away!! As he will be asleep in our bed (previously OH and mine now sons and mine :/) and won’t notice then.
OH sleeps in spare room as he has snoring issues and gets up at 5 every day to workout so doesn’t went to disturb me.
works a full on job very focused on work. He rarely WFH on occasion we have that opportunity but other than that nothing, nada.
Im feeling a little frustrated as I know it’s a difficult situation but feels disconnected and unhealthy. Not sure how OH manages denies he does anything but I’m sure he must do. Always a tricky topic somehow and he isn’t keen on discussing. How am I to survive as a woman with sexual needs ??! Anyone been in this scenario that can share some hope!!

@happysinglemama exactly what i was thinking, if he's about to go into secondary school imagine his friends finding out he shares a room/bed with his mum at the age of 10 😆 at this day of age it would make him a target to be bullied! can understand if he had learning difficulties but by sounds of it he hasn't got SEN so in reality i find it very wrong! But the parents seem to be encouraging/enabling him to do this so it's not his fault really, it's theirs!!!
