Besides, if he wanted just a 'loving-cuddling' relationship with minimum sex he shouldn't have gone for someone 11 years younger than him, he should have gone for someone closer to his age... he knew what he was getting into.

Not sure how old you are stressed, but my wife is in early forties and there is no signs of her flower wilting. I like that you've tried the same. Keep trying, he will wake up one day...If I wake up to it I might pretend sleep just to see what she does, LOL....but not for too long, I couldn't hide it.

Hmm, I wonder what this post is doing here, as I posted it in my other thread (but for some reason it is still relative).
I'm 25 and I hope I'll still have the same 'ideas' when I reach 40. But you know, when you don't receive many responses for years you just give up experimenting...

Thing is they Don't always wake up. My experience is that it rarely happens that they do.

Trust me, if someone did that to me, I'd be awake in a nano second.

LOL I wasn't thinking of waking from being asleep in bed but of being asleep in the relationship and sexually.

OOPS,

Now that I'm on the right subject,

Why would anyone who's not being active in the relationship anyway go out of their way to do something for the other partner.

It's a contradiction.

Welcome to my world.

Hey! We live in the same world!
It's a bad habit, I'm trying to break it but I think it tougher than cigarettes. I conquered them and will get this one figured out too. Thing is I didn't worry about hurting the cigarettes' feelings...

You're one up on me. Can't re-quit smoking.

I had quit for close to 7 years earlier.

If I didn't get divorced, I may still be a non-smoker.

The tobacco companies have increased the addictive componets and they are tougher to get off of. Have you considered switching to the "natural" tobacco? If you can adjust to the lower nicotine levels then quitting may be easier. I can't stand the smoke anymore but still want a cigarette sometimes. I know if I tried one, I'd get sick (literally, I lose my voice) but the craving is still there. I did find that I had to change habits associated with smoking - like drinking. Actually quit both for quite a long while.
Stress sure can send you running for the familiar crutches. I've fallen out of habit with my running and as soon as this toe quits hurting (after the nail falls off I guess- ick) I'm getting back into it. That will take care of a lot of stress release and be healthier than eating all these Dove promises.

Back to the OP question. Guess it comes down to communication, personality types, preferences and comfort zone.
