CC whilst I agree that Trisher s post is very harsh and unkindly put I do not see the original poster as a vulnerable woman She has by her own statement a husband who is kind and caring to her, whose personality towards her hasn't changed , she has a home, she sounds as if she has an inheritance and all this came about when she was 60 a time in life many of us are alone without any of those securities, she obviously doesn't want a sexual relationship and it seems as if her husband is even putting up with that and not bothering her on that score ..... But maybe he does want some love attention and caresses before he dies ( he is older ) I think the score is all on her side but the man is maligned even by a lot of posters who seem to deem the man as an awful cheater without knowing both sides
Please don't suggest all women in their 70 s without a man are vulnerable and come from a different era we have adjusted to the modern world and all know the score we are not trembling Victorians fainting if a man sees our ankles we look after ourselves cut hedges, change electricty plugs, pull down sheds paint fences a lot of us still work for our inheritance we use the same technology as our grandkids and are very much women of the modern world. The original poster sounds as if she has everything how she wants it bar control of her husbands sexual needs which she sounds as if she can't or doesn't want to be part of but she is shocked he still does have those needs . I think we should feel sorry for him, his only mistake it not talking it through and being upfront and honest but we can all see that wouldn't have worked
