Also the part about being "very young" and in your 40s was the best. If she is very young, I am an infant lol
I posted a similar situation (and on going) with my wife and had same range of responses. Not wrong or right responses but suggestions that are worth considering....

It's a marriage, its a partnersip. maybe its not rejection sometimes men are just not into it, yeah,yeah, all you other guys there will be shocked but there are men like that...was married to one... asked him nicely if there is anything at all you can do to spice up the relationship..
Well, maybe some guys could provide alternatives but my guess is that a guy in his '60s who doesn't want to have sex is not going to want to spend a lot of time "pleasuring" his wife in other ways. ...a guy thing and a generational thing.

Yeah, suggest some books on spicing up your relationship or buying some new outfits he likes. Maybe take a trip to a romantic place you both like. Sometimes after you are married awhile, the spice just sort of leaves the relationship. It's work to get it back; it sounds like you have some energy to help make it work again.

Literally ONE person has said that, and then HE came back and suggested counseling.

Y'all are the only ones whining off topic.
