I had no choice in early April except to give them up. There was a nationwide shortage of the most popular pain meds, mine included. By the time my pharmacy had them in stock, I'd already been through the worst of the withdrawals, so I decided to stay off of them. I've been two months without them, and I'm MUCH better off without them.
Unfortunately, fairness isn't a common occurrence in divorces.
Still fundamentally speaks to your character. So glad you have been successful in giving them up.
Congratulations on the upswing you've made. Pain is a terrible life partner; kudos for the strength to ditch the meds!Have I really been gone since April? Damn! Much has changed for me since then.
I am in the process of filing for divorce from the too-handsy-in-the-wrong-way jerkwad I married 26 years ago. He keeps promising he'll change, but at this point, it's all words and no action. He's still the same manipulative, abusive ass he was back before he tried to off himself in January. Only this time, there are consequences for him treating me like crap.
My timeline for leaving is within the next year... yes, year. I know I shouldn't care, but if I leave now, he'll be homeless. No matter what he's done to me, no matter how much he's neglected me, the fact is... he still has Multiple Sclerosis. He's doing better this year than he was last year, but to be honest, it breaks my tender heart to think of him being sick and without proper shelter. The good news? I now have my own bedroom with a lockable door, and a direct escape to the outside should I ever need it.
For those who don't know, my permanent life partner is chronic pain. I didn't ask for it, but it's here to stay nonetheless. However, I'm now coping with said chronic pain without the meds I used for over 16 years, and you know what? I feel a helluva lot better for it. My body is more responsive, too... that bodes well for my boyfriend. He's so proud of me for ditching the narcotics. He calls me his hero.
There. Y'all are caught up.
From what I have gathered and I'm 70 we should all be kicking the bucket about now. I think perhaps I'm not normal either, in fact I'm having a revival from being such a good girl for so many years!I am totally in a sexless marriage and have been pretty much for a few years! We’re out there but we are a bit like unicorns
I am a woman in her 50’s with the sex drive of an 18 yr old boy, that’s not normal I’ve been told by female friends the same age and male friends. I should be settling down for my old age with my hormones dying a slow death, but hell no!
Seems like lots of people both men and women, including me are in the same boat. If anyone wants to chat about it, share frustrations etc, , feel free to message me. Early 50s make from the PNW here. Cheers!
May you never recover from a sexy mindset!
Good for you long May it last
I’m a very much alive 74 y/o pig
open to interact on line with ANY Lady (or not) that is open to discussion on masculine, asserts it, submissive old men with a very short hard limit list! Nothing else intended or implied!

Much has changed for me since then.

Its a pretty long list regretfully.
And getting longer by us horny oldIts a pretty long list regretfully.

Mid-30's, why stay in this situation? I'll let others suggest counseling. Too young to wither on the vine.
Rest of the life is a long time. Even 10 years without sex is a very long time.
What if there were? Some of these wives would still just say "no thanks."
I completely relate to this, but it's harder and harder to "see myself" staying because of this.
I've once broken up partly, maybe even 50% bc of that. After 10 years I realised I want sex and children, just not with him. At the age of 27 I also realised it's a situation I can't live with for whole my life.
None of my business, but is your wife on any anti-depressant drug(s)? If so how long? I believe that to be the culprit in our case, but that was 25+ years after your age. A friend who has multiple degrees in pharmacy science, and has done medical research for 30 years tells me that doctors here in US have over-prescribing drugs, especially to women. At one point my wife's doc had her on three different mood altering prescriptions, and she eventually agreed and changed doctors.
Good point. I've twice lost my libido totally bc of antidepressants, luckily it was restored afterwards.
Possible asexual even?
So true!
Does a few times a year count as sexless?
Not just 2 ladies, there are numerous men who for one reason or another are not interested or have lost interest. It's pretty sad really.
