Sorry to burst your bubble, dahlin', but the truth of the matter is that once we women hit 36, we think about it more than you do at 36.... You guys got to go through your "sexually active" stage, hormonally, when you were still young and attractive... We have to just deal with our engines just getting rumbling when you guys decide that fantasies are better than reality.
Yes, it is VERY degrading to us- which is the real reason that by the time we're middle aged, women need therapists more!! It's not the "empty-nest syndrome", which is why men think we wind up in therapy (or need it and don't go); it just coincides with the empty nest 'cause we are more free to jump you whenever the feelings come over us without the kids seeing, but you guys don't WANT us anymore. After a while of being constantly rejected, we need SOMEONE to tell us we're still vibrant, intelligent, sexy beings!
It's a shame THAT isn't on your list...
1. make my wife feel beautiful and loved every day.
2. make love to her at LEAST twice a week.....How 'bout that? That would help....
That's why we are talking about footrubs, et cetera. We are just trying to advocate for ourselves- not men bashing.
I LOVE your list. It is filled with beauty of all kinds. But, please, take a moment to think about why all this talk- and go give your child-bearing, lovelife kindling, soulmate a huge kiss!
Thank you for being brave and joining our thread!!
It IS nice to know that you guys are thinking about what we DO share... even when sex isn't one of those things...-sunny10
