Whew. Okay. I feel better. Move along... there's nothing to see here.

Oh, wait... you're still reading? Okay, well, yeah, there was a time in my life when I didn't think sex was all that important to me. What the hell was I thinking?
You have been living with a roommate for the past 10 years. Maybe it's time to venture out and START LIVING again. Give yourself a chance to find someone who is on the same wave length as you. Bring a VIBRANT sex life back into your life....

I have thought about therapy, he is not too keen on the idea but I think he would come around if this persists. To the second question, I love him he is absolutely wonderful to me in every other way, so I am very much hoping this is a "bump in the road". For now I am giving all that pent up energy to the gym and keeping duracell in buisness. lol

Oh, I know. That's exactly what I'm planning. It will take several months to carry out (well, unless that next lottery ticket I buy wins me a big jackpot) but yeah, I'm done with the whole roommate thing.

I mean, sometimes I'm a little scared that, hey, could I be throwing away a secure thing? He's a decent person and all that, and he doesn't cheat, doesn't lie, etc. and has even helped to support me when I've not been working (stupid economy) and helped me take care of my father who has Alzheimer's (and has recently had to go into a nursing home but until late 2010 lived with us for 4 years and we cared for him). But the reality is that I need things I'm not getting from this relationship and probably would have left 2 or 3 years ago or more if it weren't for needing to focus on my Dad and everything.

So now I'm working on a career change that will hopefully allow me to break free and be better off, and to do so while being able to at least give back to the guy I've been with something in exchange for what he's given me, because it hasn't been a complete zero. I want to leave with a clear conscience. But yeah. I'm going. I've given myself until August - my birthday is then - to get it together and then after my birthday, I plan to make a break for it.

Ohhh... Another candidate, like my ex-wife? She's now spending the rest of her life in a nursing home, confined to a wheel chair after the surgery. It's called "VAGINAL ATROPHY". In her case, it got worse over time until the blood vessels collapsed and it became vaginal gangrene. (Go ahead, ladies, and double check me. By all means, do the research and look it up, if you think I'm joking.) It comes from lack of use when a woman gets older. And, just about every woman there is gets to enjoy it to one degree or another after about age 50.

My ex put an end to sex after our daughter was born, at about age 30, and look what that got her... A wheel chair. Use it or lose it. Oh, yeah... I've got a few too many years of being celibate too. Tends to give a guy a really baaaadddd attitude too.
