It's been a LONG dry spell and if I mention it, he gives me a dozen reasons about why it's dangerous for him to use the pills. (he sounds like he's reading it off the pamphlet that comes from the pharmacy even though he is perfectly healthy and had NO side affects when he used them.)

He rarely hugs me, maybe kisses me goodbye when he leaves each Sunday for work and doesn't want to discuss that I might have needs even if he doesn't. All intimacy between us is gone, so I just absorb myself in the kids, grandkids, the house, my job, etc. I seriously don't tell anyone this, but since you asked... I miss that aspect of life, but not enough to leave him over it, and he's made it clear he's not going to change.

May I put my two cents in. I don't think that he is fair to you. You are still a young woman who has needs and wants. He is being very selfish, like you said its not that he is unhealthy. You are filling your void in your children, grandkids etc. which is a good thing , but you should be number one now. I am not a therapist, but maybe going to a marriage counseler would help. We all need to feel wanted and loved. If you can accept it then you have made your choice and who is anyone to say differently. As long as your happy within...Is he good to you in other ways? Sex usually dwindles as you get older but much older.
