I understand completely! I love my husband of 31 years but don’t always like him. I put on 30+ pounds in less than 3 months. I have no sex drive & the only time that he touches me is to have sex otherwise I don’t exist. Just spent a month in MN with family as it’s only 4 hrs from Mayo instead of 10 hours from our place in Kansas. I know that he’s horny but it would be nice just to be held. Came right out and asked him if he was having an affair. I’m 63 & he’s 60. We’re empty nesters

Have you simply told him you want to be held sometimes? Do not blame him for being horny. It doesn't sound like he is blaming you for having the illness. Why did you ask him about an affair when there is no mention of any reason to do so? He has been married to you for 31 years and is probably doing the best he can, and if he were even tempted to an affair, that possibility would likely go way down without the resentments you are not easily hiding (you don't like him, you don't exist, etc.).
