We are definitely in the same situation. Even our husbands both being in sales. Vertigo for me too, and now hormones...You and I take care of ourselves, and them too. How amazing that you find the energy and time to help out! It doesn't sound like your husband has improved; is that right? I don't really need the entire lovemaking, but gentle kisses on the cheek, lightly touching my shoulder, saying "I love you" now and then would sure help. You are right; this is not what we had thought it would be. But, yes, it could be much worse! Btw, I am thankful for my kids.. I have 11 and they all help out us and each other where it is needed. One son bought us a lovely house even. They all live far away but I fly free since another son works for Southwest. I guess feeling unloved by a husband is not the end of the world. He does love me in his own way.

I think there are more of us than we know. Diabetes has hit here again, along with an aging brain. This is my second marriage, and our love has been epic, at least in my mind. Luckily our love for each other runs very deep and true. That is the most important thing to me. We're in our 80's, so our show of love has taken on a whole different meaning, but it's just as deep and true.
