Sexless Marriage (when one partner is ill)

I just came across this and had to throw my two cents in. My wife is 70 and I am 76. We have been married for 33 years. We have had a very rewarding sex life for the most part. Not perfect, but satisfying. Since injuring my back a few years back, my libido has slowly diminshed to the point where hardly anything gets me aroused. My wife is okay with that. Our love is deeper than sex. Yes, it is an important aspect of a loving marriage, but, sometimes, it is necessary to look past that part of your marriage. Focus on other aspects of your life together.

So nice of you to judge me, you are lucky, you’re failed back and a woman past menopause is a perfect fit for a relationship to continue. My wife has been dying of cancer for 15 years. Her time is near. Our relationship has suffered from the ravages of chemotherapy, kidney failure, heart failure. All to stay alive. The sex was over a long time ago. I knew that women would judge me, but another man. Good luck l hope your back gets better.
