I thought I was the only one until I started talking to my friends. Turns out, being in a sexless marriage after 40 is more common than I imagined. Here’s what it feels like—and what helped me cope.
and then
I thought we were broken. We hadn’t had sex in almost a year and I was too embarrassed to talk about it—even with my closest friends. But when I finally opened up, they all had their own versions of the same story. Hormones change, life gets overwhelming, and sometimes intimacy takes a back seat. It doesn’t make it easy, but it made me feel less alone. It’s more common than I ever realized, even if nobody wants to talk about it.
