"The Dead Bedroom Fix" With Dad Starting Over

[@splintershield]

I was fascinated - great discussion! Lauren, please, in the most constructive way possible, get a microphone arm and move it closer to your mouth. Maybe a foam cover too.

[@DadStartingOver]

Thank you so much for having me on, Lauren!

...how do you call it when there has been no word of appreciation, no caring touch, no hug, no cuddle, no kiss and of course no sex in 5 years ?

[@steveOCalley]

Or 25

[@alonbinyamin]

It's called the life of the average man

It's called being a codependent man who is probably married to a very avoidant woman.

What i dont understand is, if you were literally CRYING over rejecting your husband, why didnt you just do it? Why go through the pain of rejection? Thankfully my wife and I never got to that point. I put a lot of work in from day one to keep our bedroom alive and well, even during the post-partum slump. Of course my wife is also loving and dutiful and takes sex seriously. We make it a priority

After 22 years together and twentieth wedding anniversary was August 25, we don’t do it multiple times a day anymore, with 3 of 4 sons still living at home and both working and outside the home now, but we do date night once a month and still regularly engage in intimate activity. I’m 49 and menopausal so I saw my Dr for prescriptions meds so my drive didn’t die.

I guarantee, doing chores that are not my regular assigned tasks and my wife with a straight face goes "ugh, that was supposed to be done 2 hours ago", we gonna have an argument.

It's not about people looking down on you. Men just don't want to need help, and if they don't need it they certainly won't take it.

28:18 so if you find confidence in yourself and do what it is you're supposed to be doing and still not getting sex, then what do you do?

[@SuperSuperspoof]

Regarding the study where 2/3 of open marriages were initiated by the woman...I think just as many men want it but are afraid to ask.

[@bobbarclay316]

Men know that the wife will most likely see it as a betrayal. Which of course, it is.

[@BloodySoup74]

If the wife asks for it then she is already cheating beforehand.
