Sex life was pretty regular/normal up until about the week before he announced he was moving out. In that last week, he was much less affectionate, and did not attempt to initiate at all. I will admit that he initiated sex most of the time throughout the M...which I know was another gripe for him. His drive was typically higher than mine.
The thing about not having kids...there was no official discussion that we were or were not going to try. About 6 or 7 or so years ago, we actually stopped taking precautions and decided to put things in fate's hands. Again, there was no major discussion, just that we figured, let's see what happens. I remember he even starting telling family members we were now "trying" to get pregnant. The weird part is, within a month or two, we went back to protected sex. I don't even remember what precipitated it...and sadly, no discussion took place revolving around why we stopped trying. It didn't seem as though either of us felt that strongly about it at the time. Or at least, that was my perception. A year or so later, I went back to school and then it seemed as though the timing would be impractical, so starting a family went back on hold.
I know this may sound strange to some. Obviously, my H and I were not big on communicating on this matter.
