LW1s husband does everything she asks but it's too much trouble to be intimate with him once a week because she doesn't like it? Seriously? When someone (man or woman) just declares that they no longer want to have sex with their spouse (without any medical reason), I always wonder 'Would you be OK if your spouse found sex elsewhere'? I'm guessing in most cases that the answer would normally be no.

LW1 sounds like my mother. When I was 15, she told me "just wait until you get married and you'll find out how awful it (sex) is." This was over 40 years ago, but I remember thinking, "If you think I'm going to wait until I'm married and then find out how awful it is, you're crazy." Instead, I found out that I liked it and she was wrong.

Lie back and think of England, that's what Queen Victoria's mother told her to do

responding to article 37 years she s finished with sex sounds like my ex wife she had it made too let him go and he ll have another woman overnight then he ll find a women who will apperciate a good man i did and have a great lady and one that wants to keep me happy ps im getting it 4 to 5 times a week and have been for years vs having to beg for it totally satisfied in pennsylvania

Is this woman nuts????? Her husband of 37 years cooks, cleans bathrooms, and anything else she wants plus other stuff, and all he asks for is sex once a week. And she is complaining????? If she is not careful, some other woman will snag her "perfect husband" right from under her nose and treat him better than she does. Most wives would give their eye-teeth for a man who would do all that without asking.

Sex changes as we get older and intercourse can be painful. They need to try alternate methods.
I don't think it's about too much trouble......they need to talk and work things out together. It's
not about just laying there until it's over.

Confidential to "Not Interested":
You are living in a fantasy world! There are THOUSANDS of women who would love to meet your husband. It goes without saying, many of them don't share your distaste for intimacy. You are incredibly lucky one of them hasn't found her way into his arms--yet. You say you "cannot imagine my life without him". Well, change your attitude or get ready to join the ranks of the formerly married.

To Rose Landis Ward,
What you say is true but that isn't the case with her. She has never liked sex. If the problem has an organic or emotional basis she OWES it to her husband to at least TRY to find a cause and solution.

If that were my husband I would be on my knees daily in gratitude (thanking God, of course) for such a wonderful husband. If she could have experienced my abusive sh-- of an ex-husband maybe she would reconsider her selfishness.

My apologies for the double post. Computer issues...

Base on the household chore, She should have been trying to do it with Her Husband so that this would have not been a problem for Her. What I mean is that has She helped Her Husband in some house chore this could have been a habbit and eventually She could have live Her daughter peacefully when They have all left Her.
