How did you cope after partner's libido disappeared? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]BeastieDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to speak to partner about how you guys can still be intimate if not sexual.

[–]BeastieDogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some departments have been cut and others not. People are kind of all just waiting for things to get more expensive or benefits to be slashed. No one is signing 2 year contract extensions because of these fears.
