How do I get my husband to become interested in sex again? |
 My husband does not want sex. We have not made love in over 8 months.
He is 65 and I am 51. I try to understand that when he comes home he is probably tired, but I don't see how he can be all the time. He doesn't play around, make comments, NOTHING!! We don't even go out together, not even to family functions. Then, he won't shave or cut his hair. It is so gross to see all of that hair on his face. It's a real turn-off to me and I'm dieing for sex. Help me. What can I do? I have praised him, pampered him, complimented him even when I don't feel it. I just don't know what else to do. I've thought seriously about leaving him. I get no response from him.
 In my opinion, one of two things is happening. The first possibility is that he no longer gets psychogenic erections, i.e. when a man’s penis becomes erect from thinking about something sexy and he needs actual physical stimulation to become erect. It’s not surprising that this should occur at his age, and he could either be ashamed or think he’s no longer aroused by you. Or else, your relationship has completely died and he no longer cares for you. I guess a third possibility could be some medical problem like depression (which could explain why he is letting himself go) or some disease. There’s not much you can do until you get to the bottom of this problem. You wouldn’t want to leave him if you knew he had a medical problem though you would if he no longer loved you. Somehow you have to get him to see a professional and discover what is actually wrong. You could start with either a medical doctor or psychologist. That’s your best route.
