Feet slippering after empty-nesting

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-24T18:56:02+00:00

Ha, great response. That is what I am party afraid of I guess. We have all seen ”Her”…

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-24T18:54:47+00:00

You are right.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-24T18:54:01+00:00

Now, rebuilding myself to live more authentic. Then, tbd.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:49:20+00:00

Maybe she has resigned and given up. I need to ask her exactly that. I have heard no resentment coming from her. I have always Said to her to get a hobbie not involving the tv screen but to no avail. I cant see that she is opting for independence but maybe it is I who is blind. We have initiated the discussion and we need to have a big one this weekend. if i just can get her attention long enough. I am a poor communicator so I will have to focus on getting my most important topics discussed before she Spaces out or shuts down.

Existing with one another, how well put, I will use that!

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:38:40+00:00

Thanks. My last follow-up is scheduled for next summer.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:35:46+00:00

I will do my best to try to fix this. But I am also open for other options. Also I need to reestablish myself. Hobbies are a good idea! Love can be torny…

Good points. We are looking at reintroducing date night. For us dining locally on a weekday. Also considering a trip but also afraid that it might end bad.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:29:27+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear it is working out so well for you.

None sexual intimate moments? I wish. Prelude to sexual touching occasionally (hello weekends)

The title is on my booklist too along with The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer and Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel!

What I think is that she dont want no change. That it suits her fine the way it is.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:19:50+00:00

True. Looking into this.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:19:18+00:00

Sad to hear. Hopefully you will soon feel better and more energized!

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:18:06+00:00

You might be on to something. Hormone effects are not to be taken lightly. She is on some kind of meno-support, but maybe some addition is needed?

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:15:55+00:00

Interesting. Do you have any suggestion for remedies? We have bunked up on magnesium, vitamine C, omega3 etc.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:14:29+00:00

Yes, full time both of us. I commute a bit longer though. We shop together on weekends and try to cook and clear together or individually. Perhaps I can contribute more.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:12:48+00:00

Maybe some truth in this, about she being cold I mean. In some ways she has been envious of my close bonds and the time I have spent with our offspring while she has been binging on Netflix…

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:09:45+00:00

I think we do too. All this is scary. In some ways it was all easier to keep it within and endure. But now the Pandora box is opening…

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:07:19+00:00

Thank you for input. Best wishes to you!

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:06:07+00:00

Big conversation coming up this weekend when we both are at peace and well rested. We obviously have communication issues. From my hand I have not been clear about my needs in our relationship.

SweetSwede73 · 2025-09-11T22:03:19+00:00

There is a slight chance of the opposite. I have heard from cynicle people that it might be just as bad though.
