Married for 35 yrs 😔
Me and mommy, we used to have so much in common. But how things change over the yrs. All we do is hang at the house being bored. She really never initiated sex. That was all Me. So the other day I told her I'm ready whenever she is but I'm not initiating sex. Any body having the same bs going on in their lives? 🤷‍♂️💔 #LifeChanges #SexlessMarriage #BoredAtHome

Congrats on 35 years of marriage. Relationships evolve throughout the years and people get complacent. Try to go on fun dates with your wife, try new hobbies together and do small gestures that show your affection to her. Good luck ✨

If you don’t already, start going to the gym and diving into your own passions and interests etc. You always have to leave enough space between you and your significant other for them to be able to see and admire you, even after 35 yrs.

If you are in her face 24/7 then that’s hard for her to do which may explain her disinterest.

Its kinda like that. But yeah I'm a yes man. She always right and I let her be that way. !!!

Maybe it’s because you call her Mommy. That’s gross and would be a huge turn off.

So, assuming 35 years together puts you into your 50s or older. At my age (57 here), sex is still lots of fun, but I'm old enough that to know that there's more to life to getting laid and that most women don't want to spend the day in bed on their back. Learn to cook something new. Make a garden and plant something she might like (flowers or vegetables). Rearrange the furniture. Try painting rooms a different color. Take up a new hobby at home like starting a youtube channel reacting to dumb things on the internet. Get involved with your community. Volunteer at church or local schools. Break the monotony and do something new, and find new ways to express your love to each other.

Congratulations! This is a beautiful reminder that you sometimes have to go back to the beginning; courting her the way you did when it all started.
I really like the idea of trying new hobbies together, getting involved in community work, traveling together and even building something side by side. Those shared experiences keep the connection growing.
I’ve only been married for two years, so 35 years feels like a long journey but also something truly admirable and worth being proud of.
It might also be a good time to have an open conversation with her about how she’d like you to initiate intimacy. Understanding what makes her feel ready, loved, and connected can make a big difference and bring you even closer.
Continue to be an example for the next generation, and may God bless your marital covenant with many more beautiful years ahead. Shalom!

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them.
