@longhairedcougar It is, but I'm too old to worry about it! I do try to have fun on here, but that's hard to come by!!

@azgp01 Has she seen her family doctor? Has she had bloodwork done? Is it painful? Many women stop having sex for many reasons. Some just give up. They are refusers. Why stay with one? Many older people just settle. The refusers seem to have the power. The people they refuse? They wait for things to chsnge and they never do. An unhappy life until one of you dies. Would you have married her if you knew it would end up sexless? Vows mean nothing to refusers.

@azgp01 You settled. Far easier than to make changes. Refusers count on that. Geez.

@PoetryNEmotion I agree with you. I live with a refuser. I chose to keep a home for my kids. My choice was to not make it about me. Although it does hurt.

@Coldplay That is a tragedy. Your kids? I heard and still hear that a lot. You are teaching your kids the incorrect way to love. They see you sexless. Never kid yourself. Kids know. And then they will imitate that in their love relationships. Suffering is not part of love nor parenting healthily. I have known people from EP that left with their kids and without custody. All of them speak of their kids even being happier. It is too late for your kids. But not for you. Course you will not leave. Too settled. Older you get, the harder it is. Kinda like the devil you know versus the devil you don't. That's too bad. Hopefully she will die before you and you can still have some peace in your life. No one deserves to exist without intimacy or sex. I started over at 51. Never regretted it. I do regret what staying unhappily did to my son. He says it had no impact on him. I know it does. He is in a toxic relationship now. My fault.

@PoetryNEmotion there is no way in hell my kids know. I appreciate your support and opinion. No one can tell…I keep it pent up. Not fair to me, but I do it.

@Coldplay They know more than you think. You are hurting yourself by not letting it out.
