    Surprising but good changes

    I haven't posted in a while: I was busy and on travel for part of the time. For people who don't know me, I've been in a nearly sexless marriage for about 25 years. A couple of months ago I decided to have one final talk with my wife to let her know that I really didn't want to live the rest of my life this way. (I love her very much, but it was just so frustrating to feel like I was living with my sister rather than my wife).

    This time as soon as I brought it up, she agreed - said she didn't know why, but had been feeling "old". We've had this discussion a few times over the years and usually she just walks away, or says that she will "try" - but there has been no change.

    This time things changed completely. From that point on we have had a very active and intimate love life. I was was worried at first that she was just humouring me - but I think (hope) she really is enjoying this as much as I am. We had a vacation that felt like a romantic trip with the woman I loved, rather than a trip with friends.

    I don't know why things are different, but I sincerely hope they stay this way. I'm happy - and although I may be projecting, I think she his happy as well.

    For the other people in this situation - I honestly don't know what was different this time, so I have no advice to give.

      Such good news for you and your wife. Best wishes and the best of luck.

        Wow... I am over the moon.

        IDK maybe as she is older, she's realised that the love she has is real and she didn't want to lose it, instead re-find it... People do change...

        Happy New Year, you deserve nothing but the best..In all of those years where others cheated or left, you refused to do so...

        I truly am so happy for you.
