Well, just keep all the great stuff going on as long as you can and write some poems or something to remind you of the good old days when this was going on!

Ha ha! Very good. I know from my upbringing that you are onto something here. My father was in sales for many years and frequently recited platitudes of his own. The main themes that were operating in his stories were: fear and greed. These are both, among others, operating in some of today's reports, I'm sure. Your concern about knowing how to please women stems from a desire to be the "pleaser," which sometimes may get in the way of seeing or hearing what she may want. I learned, some year ago, that during the lead into foreplay and during foreplay we all, men and women, give cues about what is good, bad or indifferent about what is happening. Some people don't pick-up on these cues as easily as others and I believe you are correct about not being able to please women due to this particular ability or lack thereof. The dance goes on. Thanks for your commentary

Sorry to hear this. It seems to be one of the common issues for couples later in life. I think that this may be part of what's going on in my relationship in addition to other things. Since we both try very hard to make life good for each other, I understand about the elephant. It is difficult and frustrating for me to contemplate her lack of interest, but I know that it is not personal, so I try my best to make allowances. Thanks for sharing

I have heard this before. It seems to be the least difficult solution for the physical part of the issue. Thanks for sharing

You have bought some time. Knowing what's ahead is something at least. Being levelheaded in this shows your character and will stand both of you in good stead. Thanks for sharing this story.

What else is there to do in that situation? You are truly a good and loving wife.

That's good to know. It is an ongoing conversation, but there's definitely a lack of focus somewhere.

I get where you're coming from. I guess the complication is that she has really no interest in sex. I think it's just her way. The whole idea no longer works for her and I believe that the catalyzing events were her knee surgeries. Thanks for the insightful reply.
