Older Husband needs some advice
According to a recent study the average time couples (age group 40 -49) have sex is 69 times in a year. That is an average of sex every ~5.2 days. I wish I was lucky as that.
My wife is 52 and I am 48. I do truly love her and always will. I always want to have sex, but my wife never wants to have sex. I still love doing other things with her (going to movies, eating out, or just talking). I do stay in shape by lifting weights and running every day. So, I make every attempt to be physically pleasing, it is also healthy. I also treat her real nice (holding hands, opening doors, expressing feelings, etc.). I trust my wife and I am 99.9% sure she is not having an affair. She just is never in the mood. I just wish my sex life was average....I would even settle for below average.
What can I do?

Hi Tony!
Have you tried talking to your wife about what you are feeling? Communication is one of the most important aspects of relationships.
It is quite common after quite a few years together and couples often have different sex drives but this is clearly a big issue for you.
She may not realise how much you are struggling. Talk to her and see what she tells you. It is much more helpful tha imagining what MAY be going on.
Good luck.
