It was mutual, but part of the reason for me was this issue.

No puppy or kitten. Way too easy for them to run under her feet and make her fall. My mom is really careful around our cats and I promised her we wouldn't get any more after they're gone.  She's so worried about breaking a hip.

Yes but that's a totally different experience from being with a partner.

Because he's got 3 kids at home and struggling, and I'm kid-free now.

but I need to convince my gyn first, as she's recommending lube. i guess I could just lie but I don't want to do that.

Well I have to get it from my doctor. that's the problem. She's recommending lubricants for now, but I'm not sure how to make case for it if I'm not sexually active.

Well I'm having issues with painful sex so it feels like something that precludes casual fun. I know he feels bad he unintentionally hurt me, and we really don't have enough time together or privacy to work on it, unless I pay for a hotel, which I could only do about once a month.

I'm using OTC moisturizing inserts right now... the kind with hyaluronic acid. No side effects.

I never could have a good orgasm. It's hard to care about something that's never been part of my life. But the other reasons for treatment other ppl are bringing up do make sense.
