as your joints and muscles change, be sure to pack a comfy air mattress. Oh we did. It was a godsend. And we're bringing an extra one this weekend so we can float on the lake The one bad thing was getting in and out of the tent. Belly = awkward movements! I looked like a roly poly trying to get in and out of that thing.

Well, I am not the romantic type, I'm the practical type.
When I went through menopause my libido took a nose dive. The equipment failed to function as originally designed. This had a negative impact on the romance department.
Being a practical person, I asked my gyno point blank how to fix it. There are 93 different drugs for men, what is there for women?
I got something that is very effective. I'm not saying everything functions like I was 20, but it does function like before menopause.
Hooray for science.
It's not cheap, but DH (Mr Cheap) says this is one thing he's willing to pay any amount for LOL.
(He has a name for the medicine which I can't share in public - it's cute but filthy).

Okay, pm those of us that ask the name of that drug, like me! The REAL name if you please. Then the nickname so if I take it I can giggle.

Don't know, if I ever manage to get someone to love me and I can manage to maintain it, I'll come back and let you know.

don't forget a big heaping dose of common sense. As in "so what if it's been.....um......damn I can't even remember how long since we got in adult time. He still loves me and thinks I'm hot, we've just gotten 7 hours of sleep in two weeks, that's all it is." That's the mind set you're going to need in a few months.

When I can get the same leniency replacing "adult time" with the chore of my choosing, I'll consider this a viable mindset.

Are you suggesting "adult time" should be equated with a chore?

I'm glad it's working for you DQ, but I just can't shut off my irritation of feeling like there is never ending work to be done - we don't feel comfortable in our house since we're working on it while we're living in it, we're living out of boxes and suitcases, we don't have a dishwasher, laundry is overflowing daily, baby needs XYZ/isn't sleeping tonight.... How am I supposed to get in the mood with all that going on? There is never ending work to be done, it will never go away. If you wait until it's all done to have some fun, you'll never have any fun. Do your husband on a pile of dirty laundry. it's liberating.

Are you suggesting "adult time" should be equated with a chore? Depends on how ugly the other person is.

why would you want "adult time" with an ugly person? A good wingman will jump on the ugly friend grenade if necessary. Doesn't mean you have to like it though.

Hehehhee. Since in my house it already is a chore, I want the upside associated with that sad fact.
...:::"There is never ending work to be done, it will never go away. If you wait until it's all done to have some fun, you'll never have any fun.":::...
Karma! I have talked myself blue in the face trying to explain this to DW.
...:::"that's what alcohol is for. you can drink someone pretty.":::...
A friend explained to me that its not that the other person starts to look better; its that you just stop caring the other person looks so bad.

Technically, she also married me knowing "what the deal was", so I could flip the same argument around. Just because one gets married does not mean time gets frozen and nothing is ever permitted to be revisited.

That depends entirely on what we're arguing about at the time, how long it's been going on, and which side of the argument I'm on. When it comes to spending my weekend playing computer games instead of mowing the lawn, she knew I did that before we got married so she has no reason to complain.

Oh I totally agree that her rationale is very immature. I've learned to fight fire with fire. I've long since learned that being the "better person" doesn't really provide the comfort that self-righteous buffoons claim it does.

Not at all. I just skip all the chores.

Make an effort not to let yourself totally go physically. You can't keep your 21 year old body forever, but there's no reason to turn into a complete couch potato either.

...:::"Are you suggesting "adult time" should be equated with a chore?":::... :::Hehehhee. Since in my house it already is a chore, I want the upside associated with that sad fact.::: I still can't imagine a relationship that lacking in sex before even getting married when one person in that relationship is clearly not okay with that. But honestly, since you went ahead and got married knowing what the deal was, you really just need to let that go. It clearly wasn't important enough for you to address it prior to the marriage.... now it seems like a passive-aggressive way to always get digs in at your wife.

Seems like a chicken and egg situation. I don't think anything's going to change until they both do.
