Then again, if her husband was the sort of man who wouldn't put up with spousal abandonment, she probably wouldn't have
lost attraction to him in the first place:
Linda B., 48, admitted that after 23 years of marriage, she doesn't have any interest in having sex with her husband — and she is fine with that. 'I’ve had all the sex I need to in my life, and truthfully, I’m just over it. Plus I’m a little bored,' she explained.
Like Ruth's boyfriend, Linda said her husband is having trouble understanding her sudden lack of interest, and he has even suggested that they take a 'sex class' or 'order a book on Amazon' so they can rev up their sex life.
However, Linda explained to him that although she loves him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him, she doesn't want to have sex with him right now.
'He has to deal with that. He doesn’t have much of a choice,' she noted.
One thing I've noticed over the years is that with the exception of the overly jealous types, women usually a) overrate their own attractiveness, and b) underrate the attractiveness their husbands hold to other women.
