Hi Neice

Thx for your response - my wife has very low hormones now but will not consider hrt as she feels this is dangerous. We did have a great sex life until about 10 years ago when it began to dwindle down to no sex life about 5 years ago.

I am hoping that she will come around without having to threaten leaving her. I suspect, however, I will have to do something drastic such as leave her for a while (or permanently) to affect any real desire to change in her. I know she is hoping I will loose interest in having a sex life.

I am not ready to play the real heavy hand yet, but I will get there soon if there is no change. What I really don't understand is why she has no desire to try to accomodate me in even the most modest way? Anyway, I guess I really ultimately want the full meal deal, the one we both signed up for when we got married.

I like you feel extremely isolated as a result of the situation. I really don't know if there is anything you can do to overcome this despair. I have tried busying myself with projects and activites but I haven't found I have gained anything from this approach. I hope you have better luck with your husband or can find some way to deal with a non physical relationship.
