Unfortunately, the waning of sex in a marriage is a too-often complaint and more times than not, it's the wife's waning and the husband's complaint.
Reasons are their own-stress, hormones, boredom, anger or simply losing desire for the man. I have a friend whose wife announced on her 50th birthday she was "done with sex". Wanna kill a marriage, there's a way....
In my own relationship, as it took its downward spiral, I was given an ultimatum/promise-the result of which has been no intimacy for over 2 years.
You reap what you sow...
I never did understand the whole "sex at our age" thing-either you enjoy it or you don't care for it and age should have nothing to do with it. It's a phony excuse. Maybe it's become painful(happens later on with menopause), maybe it's just not any fun, but that "at this age" line is a lie.
To those women(and men) who push their SO's away with such lies, I say "Don't get all riled up when he/she starts looking elsewhere-push'em away and they're bound to start wandering."
