So maybe you’d have your priorities shifted with age
I feel bad you are suffering. I should shut up. I am practical and I think practical advice is no help here. Sorry. I want you to be content

It’s okay. I appreciate your input.
We never formed an adequate sexual relationship together and it’s been a nightmare. But, otherwise we are very good together.
The whole thing is dysfunctional and stupid. No amount of my communication changed anything, so the dynamic became a well-oiled machine.
At this point I am focused on trying to lesson the depression over it.
I am post menopausal and am not even sure about sex drive at this point. The whole thing is so stressful and confusing. It’s mostly about control and how two people treat each other. It’s about chemistry I suppose.
It shouldn’t be as important, but it totally destroyed me because we can’t get it right. The frustration is maddening.
If he just shows me a little relaxed affection, I’m a new person. My mood is dependent on how he treats me! I know how toxic that is.
I had another incident last night and this morning with an anxiety attack, and it was of a lesser degree due to the meds. So, I’m trusting in this new doctor for now.
Thanks again for your help, everyone.
