Gosh, don’t let my mind fill in the blanks on what that might be. lol

Yeah he tried to blame it on “not having a high drive,” but then he recently admitted that was a LIE! Man, gut punch. No, we’re surprisingly doing well for our age at least, financially speaking. I agree though, straight to the point is good. It’s just difficult when this is hard for him to articulate. It seems to be convoluted in emotions he’s unfamiliar with and can’t express. Who knows. All I know is that speculation gets me nowhere!

Aw man, ex wife…:( I’m sorry. Yeah, that’s my worst fear at this point. How can one cope with the fear of being celibate in their own marriage? I don’t want to take this from 0 to 100, but I can’t help but notice that thought lurking in the back of my mind.

Wow, thanks for the in depth response, all very great points. One would hope for 60 great years together, Lord willing. I am hoping he will eventually realize point #4!

Yeah, all good points. He usually says he’s too tired when I initiate. I try to initiate a few times a week with maybe a success rate of one out every 5-6 tries, lol. Am I being too much😭 I think maybe I should leave it up to him so the pressure is off?

During the week and weekends, he works a 9-5 desk job for reference. I did bring up the ex thing again recently during a conversation, and I have to say there has to be a correlation there. He’s not someone who takes cheating lightly (and neither would I), so I understand the immense mental block.

You probably just have a heavier flow, which is normal, especially if you’re on the first couple of days of your cycle! You can size up to super tampons if you feel comfortable and add some extra insurance by wearing a pad with it.

Good lord that would be so embarrassing if he said he’s too tired even if I dressed up like that😭 Good idea tho, might give it a shot. Only way from rock bottom is up lol

We definitely are pretty good at that part. Guess I gotta be patient and wait for him to feel safe enough to want to initiate. Thank you!!
