Dear Abby: Im a 59-year-old virgin and my wife of 20 years doesnt want to have sex with me
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 59-year-old married virgin male.My wife has an IUD for medical reasons.
She thinks it’s the man’s job to initiate sex.She has never shown any interest in sex in nearly 20 years of marriage.
I love her, but I am ready to divorce her. I do not want to go through life without a sex life, let alone die a virgin.We have no money for therapy.
She’s going to be 51 soon.I have been told by different women that it’s just not in her, and she’ll never be interested.
What should I do? — WANTING MOREDEAR WANTING MORE: This may seem like a silly question, but have you tried to initiate sex? Your letter is a bit vague on that point.It’s not the “job” of one partner or the other, but someone has to get the ball rolling.
A more important question is this: Did your wife tell you she was not interested in sex before you got married? Did the two of you never discuss it?Ask your wife directly if she thinks she’ll ever be willing to take this step with you.If the answer is no, please understand that it’s OK to end a relationship with someone — even if you love them — if they are not willing to give you what you need.DEAR ABBY: My son-in-law takes my granddaughter for a walk every day.
They live in a nice area, but he insists on carrying a loaded gun in the stroller.My daughter doesn’t seem to question this, and if I press either one, I get the impression that they will cut off my access to my granddaughter.
What recourse, if any, do I have to protect the child from a senseless gun-related accident? — FEARFUL IN PHOENIXDEAR FEARFUL: It’s sad that, despite living in a nice neighborhood, your son-in-law feels so vulnerable.All you can do is try to ensure that he has a license to carry his gun and hope he has taken (and passed) a course in gun safety.Readers who do not live in Arizona should check their own state and local laws.
What this dad is doing may be legal in Phoenix, but it could land you in a heap of trouble in many other ...
