Today she walked away from me with a gentle peck on the lips - what I've grown to expect since before the prostate cancer diagnosis three years ago. It's just a 'muscle memory' response from her, but I'm missing the love and dedication we once had. It's now 15 years since she last allowed me sex, or any sort of meaningful connection - yes, we hold hands occasionally, we kiss each other before sleeping every night - but no 'true connection' where we hold each other in any symbol of 'love'.
Is it time for me to walk away and find someone else that can give me the love that I had, and certainly desire, or should I just give up and accept that her love is virtually 'dead'?
I love your answer to this, Relationships are very much involving two people and you can get lost sometimes . But it can be so easy to bring it back. If we are generalising about women and needs, it’s usually quite simple. - you want a man that shows that he loves you, adores you infact. Just small things will do it. Being helpful and caring. Odd bunch of flowers, saying you look great in a new outfit, even if you are fibbing. Touch - a cuddle, being desired.( I know this is a tricky thing with HT) but making the effort. There’s nothing that can switch you off more than a man that’s doesn’t notice you, that doesn’t hear you . That has expectations of what you should be or do for him without making any effort himself. Women tend to be naturally caring and loving- you just need to make an effort and find the way to switch her back on. Clearly you have found the answer. Always thought you had a well developed emotional awareness.
