Wow, it definitely sounds like W needs to talk to IC to resolve those issues. They are serious and coupled with the guilt over the A I'm sure she would benefit from someone helping her to deal with them. Guess all you can do on that front is wait until she's ready to talk then be supportive of her getting counseling.

I would mention the hormones if she hasn't already looked into that. I know it's a sensitive subject for some women who aren't ready to face that part of their lives, so you may have to wait for the right moment. I'm not pre-menopausal yet but the years of being on BC pills basically eliminated my testosterone level. When I stopped taking them I definitely noticed an increase in my libido. As far as I'm concerned, hormones are a medical issue that can and should be addressed.

Back to the lingerie...I had a thought. Perhaps you can just start buying her new lingerie with no expectation that she will get rid of the offending set. Just do it because you think she'll look hot in that new bra and panties and you enjoy admiring her body. After adding a few new things to her repertoire the old ones will be relegated to the back of the drawer and neither one of you will think about them--out of sight, out of mind.
